Your comments

Hi Jeannine, sorry for the delayed response.


It seems that when I open the new URL you provided now, the title you mentioned shows the updated version (lower case "term"). Perhaps it just took a while for the change to make it through the system? I'm not sure how long Zotero takes to propagate the title via all their APIs. BibBase retrieves fresh data from Zotero every time you open the page, *but* it does so in the background while still serving the cached version first -- otherwise it would take too long. That said, you essentially need to refresh the page twice, with a little bit of time in between (around 20 seconds), in order to see the latest data BibBase has gotten from Zotero.



I see. BibBase, like I, thought that this page itself was that individual's publication page, because (almost?) all publications on the page include him as an author -- that's the logic being used to determine whose page it is. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I believe this happens only when using group pages. If you create a user for whom the "My Library" list is used, then that list should not be limited to 100 anymore. I believe that is how other users have avoided this limit.

Hi Phil, no, there currently isn't a way to disable the author links. You can always try to change the appearance using CSS, so you can probably make these links look just the rest of the text, but as I mentioned to Oleg, this is a feature that keeps the publication pages of co-authors linked to one another.

I think so, yes. You can filter by any field in the bibtex entry that is generated from the Mendeley data and Mendeley does seem to provide the folder id in that bibtex.


In this example URL I'm grouping by that id to see what's in which folder:

http://bibbase.org/service/mendeley/42b3c9fe-3feb-364a-a5a6-ad0ff97f726b/group/6b3cbe6f-5954-3478-8b6f-f247bb28d285?groupby=folder_uuids


Filtering on just the first folder id gives me:

http://bibbase.org/service/mendeley/42b3c9fe-3feb-364a-a5a6-ad0ff97f726b/group/6b3cbe6f-5954-3478-8b6f-f247bb28d285?filter=folder_uuids:087dba1e-8d95-4d9f-8cf7-7542ed7bb4a5


Hi Donny,


No, sorry, we are not planning on open-sourcing the BibBase backend. However, in terms of uptime, I don't think there is much for you to worry about. BibBase has been in operation since 2005 and has been used since then by more users every year. They all rely on it being up and running 24/7 and so we take measures to prevent outages just like any other web site and as a result they are very rare. Naturally, we also have monitoring solutions in place that alert us of any problems as soon as they happen, so that we can fix them right away.


That said we are contemplating a paid tier with uptime guarantees, designated support, and other features. Would that be of interest to your group?

Please provide a more detailed description of this idea. Am I right to assume you mean Google Scholar? and do you mean importing from there? If that is the suggestion, then, unfortunately, the answer is no, that's not possible, because Google doesn't provide an API.

Sorry, no, not at this point.

Thanks for pointing this out. It is fixed now.
