concer / pubdomo

stupid ruby script to generate a list of publications in YAML, with CSL customisation for the most important substrings.

pubdomo

the stupid assistant for displaying bibliographies

Usage: pubdomo [options] file.bib --sort [TYPE] Sort output by year/keywords/project/subject. --pubs DIR pubs directory (Default: ./pubs). --styles DIR CSL styles directory (Default: ./styles). --bibs DIR .bib files directory (Default: ./bibs). --splitbib Generate per-pub bib file (Dest: --bibs). -h, --help Display this screen

main purpose

To take a list of publications (in BibTeX format), and thanks to bibtex-ruby and citeproc-ruby, display the bibliography in YAML, ready to be fed to a YAML-hungry display tool, such as jekyll.

dependencies

• Ruby
• bibtex-ruby
• citeproc-ruby (which needs Ruby >= v1.9.2)

example

Input:

@inproceedings{bergman_hpec07,
	author = "Keren Bergman and Luca P. Carloni",
	title = "On-Chip Photonic Communication for High-Performance Multi-Core Processors",
	month = sep,
	year = 2007,
	booktitle = "Proceedings of the Eleventh Annual Workshop on High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC)",
	editor = {},
	pages = {},
	address = {Lexington, MA},
	publisher = {},
	note = {(Best paper award)},
	keywords = {networks-on-chip, photonics, optical communication},
	affiliation = {Columbia},
	entered = {Luca Carloni, 6/9/07}
}

Output:

[ omitting submenu and some bells and whistles ]
publications
	- entry:
	  authors: "Keren Bergman and Luca P. Carloni"
	  title: "On-Chip Photonic Communication for High-Performance Multi-Core Processors"
	  venue: "in Proceedings of the Eleventh Annual Workshop on High Performance Embedded Computing (HPEC)"
	  details: "2007"
	  year: 2007
	  month: sep
	  mon: 9
	  keywords: networks-on-chip, photonics, optical communication
	  note: (Best paper award)
	  pdf: bergman_hpec07.pdf
	  bib: bergman_hpec07.bib

NB. Of course $pubs/bergman_hpec07.pdf and $bibs/bergman_hpec07.bib exist.

sorting

Apart from the explicit sorting, second-level sorting is done by publication date in descending order (more recent first)--in case two publications have the same year/month, no guarantees wrt their ordering are provided. If the month of a publication is not filled out in the BibTeX file, the publication gets assigned month "0", ie it gets shown last (within its year's publications).

formatting

The trick is to use CSL styles to generate each of the subfields (authors, title, venue and details), one separate file for each of them.
