Hello,

Is it possible to export citations to Endnote (.Ris or .enw file)? This would be very helpful.

Thanks

(This is not a request, but a possible solution.)

Keeping the BibTeX file (say list.bib) on Google Drive (GD) or similar services (like Dropbox, etc.) may be useful since you can update your bibliography without bothering to upload the updated version online.

Unfortunately, GD (and Dropbox) do not provide the "direct" link to list.bib needed by BibBase to produce the final bibliography. Here is a workaround for GD:

1. Create a public folder in GD and put in it your list.bib; both the file and the folder must be shared publicly with everyone (after all, this is the aim of putting your bibliography online, I assume)

2. Obtain a direct link to list.bib from a free service online. For me, the following one worked:

https://sites.google.com/site/gdocs2direct/

You just need to obtain from GD the sharing link as usual (right click on list.bib, Share...) and to paste it in the site above, which then produces a new, direct link to copy.

3. Paste the direct link in the BibBase page to generate the bibliography.

A working example is on my page:  http://www.webalice.it/g.cevolani/

A cleaner solution for step 2 above (that in any case you need to do only once) would be better.

I hope this may be useful to others,

It would be nice to have support for multiple bibtex files (e.g., bib=<something>&bib1=<something_else>&bib2=..) . Imagine each individual in a research group uses bibbase to maintain their publications. Then, building a publications page for the whole group would be trivial with this feature.

I've just updated my small site using BibBase, and it's really wonderful.

I just point out some minor bugs with the output here:

http://www.webalice.it/g.cevolani/

1. A comma (,) should be used to separate multiple authors' and editors' names instead of the semi-colon (;); at least this seems to be a nearly universal convention.

2. A part for accented letters, which are handled correctly, other LaTeX commands which may appear in titles or journal names (like "\&" or "\emph" or even "--" in page ranges) are not interpreted (see, e.g., 3rd entry in 2011).

3. If the pages field is missing from the bib entry (for instance because the article is forthoming), a incorrect space is produced in the final entry (see 2nd entry in the site)

4. In some entries, but not in others, the page numbers are preceded by the text "page", which should be "pages" or better nothing, as in other entries (see 1st entry).

5. After the colon before the page range, a space would improve readibility.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi all,

I hope this is not trivial or already answered.

I'm trying to use BibBase on a personal Google Site, embedding the script linking to the publication file on Google Drive in the same folder of the site:

<script src="https://bibbase.org/show?bib=https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jPCxO7IN4JiukP3n9bG-zP6aftcc-yP2/&jsonp=1&theme=mila"></script>

I can't find a way to pass to BibBase a working URL for my publication list file. The best I obtain is the following:

https://sites.google.com/view/gustavocevolani/publications?authuser=0

Same if I use a link to the publication file on Dropbox.

Many thanks in advance for any help in fixing this.

Gustavo
