About BibBase.org

• BibBase makes it easy for scientists to maintain their publications pages. As a scientist, you simply maintain a BibTeX-file of your publications, including links to the papers, and BibBase does the rest. When a web user visits your publications page, BibBase dynamically generates an always up-to-date HTML page from the BibTeX file, and even allows the user to sort the publications by other than the default ordering (e.g. year, author, keywords, research area, publication type). Example.


• Together with each listed paper, the created page provides links to your individual BibTeX-entries to ensure correct citing.


• In addition, BibBase generates an RSS feed for your publications. This means that other scientists can subscribe to receive notifications whenever you publish new papers. Example.


• Other features of BibBase include:
  • publishing of bibliographic information on the semantic web via data.bibbase.org,
  • count of page visits,
  • count of downloaded paper,
  • easy embedding in existing pages,
  • search engine friendly format.

News

• February 2013: Created a forum where you can leave feedback, comment, and questions.
• January 2013: Growth continues. This month for the first time, BibBase saw over 4000 unique visitors, 4450 to be exact. This is mainly due to a number of new users and research groups, who started using BibBase recently. The updated statistics pages now only counts recent activity.
• December 2012: Over the holidays I have rewritten the mechanism for keeping logs and generating statistics (see links above). You will now also notice a new feature on BibBase pages: counts of how many times each paper was downloaded (by unique IPs), and at the bottom of the page, the total number of unique visitors and downloads.
• April 2012: BibBase's growth is steady. In March for the first time BibBase saw more than 3000 unique visitors (IPs).
• October 2011: In addition to the ability for individuals to display their Mendeley-publications using BibBase, it is now also possible for Mendeley groups to do the same: get it
• July 2011: You can now use BibBase to show your Mendeley publications on your personal web page (e.g., at your university).
• April 2011: Bibtex files are now cached. This further reduces the load-time for your publications page. BibBase will now only retrieve your bibtex file if it has been modified since the last time someone has visited your publications page. You should be able to notice faster page loads.
• March 2011: By user request, it is now possible to customize the appearance of the counts in the group headers. For instance, to make them disappear entirely, you can just include the following in your CSS definitions: span.bibbase_group_count { display: none; } Personally, I am now using this feature on my homepage to make the number a little bit smaller than the group name. This is equally easy to do: span.bibbase_group_count { font-size: smaller; }
  See our example CSS file for all possible ways to customize the appearance of your BibBase page.
• September 2010: Using the new triplified data, we have created BibBase pages for each keyword. For instance, any paper "published on BibBase", i.e., any BibTeX entry that was uploaded to BibBase either via its regular use for display of publications on a personal page, or via direct upload, and which is using the keyword "execution monitoring", will be listed on this page: Papers on "execution monitoring" on BibBase. An of course, it will also show up in the corresponding RSS feed of that page. Hence, anyone who is interested in this topic and who subscribes to the RSS feed, will be immediately notified if anyone is publishing a new paper on that topic — do long as the authors use BibBase, of course.
• July 2010: BibBase has been triplified: data.bibbase.org. All bibliographic data that is used with BibBase is now uploaded to a central repository where it can be searched and put in context of other data. For instance, for each keyword (used in any BibTeX file of a BibBase user), there is a page now listing all publications regarding that keyword. Also, for each author there is a unique URI listing all entries for that author, independent from where it was contributed. Personal publication pages remain unaffected from this, however, so the control over that list remains with the BibBase users (and always will).
