Grouping by year for biblatex format

Dietmar Winkler 3 years ago updated 3 years ago 14

I have  list of bachelor and master theses that I display on my webpage thanks to bibbase. The problem is that if I want to group them by "year" then I need to generate my bib file in bibtex format which actually has the "year" field. Unfortunately the bibtex format has no support for @thesis and then "type=Master's Thesis" but always uses either @phdthesis or @mastersthesis which both get rendered as "Ph.D. Thesis" by bibbase.

Solution would be to switch to biblatex formatted bib file. However that one does not contain the "year" field after which one can group but the "date" field instead.


So my question is, is there a workaround that allows me to use the biblatex format but sill group by year?

Author's page only linked for some publications

Till Hofmann 3 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 3 years ago 2

Since recently, the author's page is only linked for some bib entries and the link is missing for other entries.

As an example, this publication correctly links to this page:

This one does not:

I initially thought that this may be related to "Last Name, First Name" vs "First Name Last Name" entries, but the two examples actually use the same format.

It might also be related to co-authors, as all linked publications have another co-author who also has a bibbase page.

Anyway, it would be nice if the page was linked from all publications, not just some.

Access inherited bibtex file

rmw61 3 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 3 years ago 5

Hi, we've inherited a website that allows us to automatically add to a bibtex file and update the list of publications.  What we can't see is where the bibtex file is physically located or how to edit it if we make a mistake.  Is it possible to find that information out?

BibBase auto-generated wrong links to author names.  Is there any way of reporting to correct incorrect links?  Thanks.

wrong url: url added twice to paper upload links

Cédric 3 years ago updated by Christian Fritz 3 years ago 9

Hi everyone

I observed this morning that there is a problem when trying to upload papers from my webpage.

The url item in my bibtex file are of the form: Articles/papername.pdf because they are available my papers pdf are available at the following address: http://www.mywebsite.com/Articles/" class="redactor-autoparser-object">http://www.mywebsite.com/Articles/

Bibtex now redirect paper upload attempt to the following address:

http://www.mywebsite.com/www.mywebsite.com/Articles/

which produces an error of course.

What can I do to correct this bug?

Best,

Cédric

Comma and semicolons

Carol 3 years ago updated by floris roelofsen 3 years ago 2

Hi Christian, We have our page nearly done, but it appears that the semicolon delimiter should be replaced with a comma or with ", and" in the author sections. Is it possible to replace the semicolon with a comma in the base code between the author names? When reviewing multiple bibliography style guides, they all vary somewhat. The more recent style guides use the ", &" before the last name, some use ', and" before the last name, but all use the comma instead of the semicolon as a delimiter. Is that something that can be done? Is there a fee to change it? Below are sample references to this. Thank you!

Three to Twenty Authors
List by last names and initials; commas separate author names, while the last author name is preceded again by ampersand. This is a departure from APA 6, which only required listing the first six authors before an ellipsis and the final author's name.

How do you display non-ascii characters, such as the degree mark?
