new forum message arXiv posts don't have correct journal attributes when they are available

2008-07-24T14:23:08+00:00

As I recall, you can just type what you like in the (arXiv) Journal reference field; e.g. I usually do Journal VOL, PAGE (YEAR).

Why not get the info via the doi (if given)?

new forum message arXiv posts don't have correct journal attributes when they are available

2008-07-24T09:37:55+00:00

So, is this the management summary?

If there's a "Journal Reference: " entry in the arXiv page, use @ARTICLE rather than @MISC, and try to extract the journal name, year and pages as well

If so, does anyone know if the Journal reference field's format is reliably

JournalName (Year) Pages

Where Pages can look like NNNN or NNNN-NNNN ?

new forum message Transposed position in author's name

You're absolutely correct - I'll try to fix this. In the meantime, you can beat CiteULike into submision by editing his name to be:

     =/Z. Gerald/Z/Liu/=

new forum thread Transposed position in author's name

2008-07-23T19:08:54+00:00

This isn't exactly a pressing matter, but for these two articles ( http://www.citeulike.org/user/devinberg/article/3025294 and http://www.citeulike.org/user/devinberg/article/2874328 ), the first author's name should read "Z. Gerald Liu" instead of "Gerald Z. Liu". I am not sure whether the issue is with how citeulike reads the page or not but thought I would point it out. Thanks.

new forum message arXiv posts don't have correct journal attributes when they are available

2008-07-23T11:44:29+00:00

Good point, the arxiv is not the most rigid place in the world, and if I wanted to pretend that my article had made it into a journal then I could easily do that.

On the other hand, you would hope that anyone building up a (decent) scientific library would either know about the authors they are including or not include fake articles. But in any case, let me explain what the problem is to see if there's a different solution.

I hail from the world of theoretical physics, where (these days anyway) any article that is published always goes through the arxiv first (I know that this is not true in general for other scientific fields), consequently when people are referencing articles they generally only use the arxiv id, even when the article has actually been published in a respectable journal. This means that when we are searching for articles, we often use the arxiv.

When it comes to a bibliography, you would want to print both the journal reference and an eprint arxiv reference (this means, when you view the article as an online pdf you just click the links and it takes you straight to the relevant article). This is the reason for my querry, which upon reflection, actually comes in two parts:

can we change the @MISC to @ARTICLE, so that bibtex correctly converts the url tabs to internet links
if it can be reconciled with the rest of the scientific community, can we find a way to include the journal refs and the arxiv refs (perhaps by a check box on the include page or any other mechanism you see fit) or some way that would easily allow one to add both bits of information to a bibliography

Note that jabref already does both of these things.

Thank you,

new forum thread Importing data from "Drupal Scholar" content-type

2008-07-23T11:04:01+00:00

Hello,

I'm testing some extensions of Drupal in order to buy a site that will have to deal a lot with bibliographic references. I'm also looking for connections with CiteUlike.

I have found an interesting extension called Bibliography module (a.k.a Drupal Scholar) http://drupal.org/project/biblio that provides a content type with an exhaustive list of fields. It also generates exporting files (Tagged, EndNote7, BibTex), but does not export to Citeulike.

You can see an example at: http://www.aprenderenred.net/drupal58/?q=node/1

I would be happy if users of my site could push their Citeulike button and import all the data to their new Citeulike reference. Has anybody explored this issue?

Many thanks 2 all, R

new forum thread Pseudo tags

2008-07-22T17:01:30+00:00

Hi,

I usually use tags to indicate the publication year (2006, 2007, ...) and the publication type (_book, _journal, ...). It would be nice if this information could be generated automatically as pseudo tags (year:2006, year:2007, type:book, ...) by citeulike. So we could search for articles about networks published in 2004 using www.citeulike.org/user/camster/tag/year:2004,networks .

new forum message abbreviated journal title

2008-07-22T15:48:20+00:00

Interesting problem. I think this may have something to do with me See this thread for more info. I'll be honest - being a bibtex noob Im not that clear about what bst files contain..

Perhaps slightly off-topic in that case: The problem I have had with abbrev titles is What do you choose for the abbreviation. Im guessing its the problem citeulike has too. (Or if they don't perhaps they should!). Some abbreviations seem to be different/overlapping - pubmed is typical at this..

new forum message Citations in MS Office 2007

2008-07-22T15:35:19+00:00

Some ideas off the top of my head 1. Export your citations to bibtex: http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex_options/user/ahe 2. Use JabRef . Import that bibtex file then export as a rtf file with it correctly formatted. Insert your rtf file into your word document. (NB: If you are on a mac use bibdesk, papers or cloister for a nicer life)

Or.. Export as endnote - and then use from endnote..

Of course I do still wonder why citeulike don't better support this from within the webapp

new forum message arXiv posts don't have correct journal attributes when they are available

2008-07-22T09:12:34+00:00

Maybe I misunderstand, but I'm not sure I agree with what you want.

Surely the journal-ref info from the arXiv field cannot necessarily be trusted; as an arXiv author I could put anything I want in there, and it's (to my knowledge) not checked.

With your scheme, articles posted on citeulike could gain a spurious authority on the basis of inaccurate (or fake) journal info added to arXiv.

Edit: I'm assuming here that the adding of journal-ref info from arXiv is kept on citeulike's database; not just inserted at export to bibtex

new forum message Can't post Inderscience articles

2008-07-17T13:13:03+00:00

This situation was confusing and frustrating me a bit, so I wrote to MetaPress. I received a very polite and informative reply. Apparently, MetaPress isn't a publisher itself, but provides services to publishers who contract with it. Thus, I guess we can assume that the lack of a "download RIS/BibTeX link" is due to Inderscience not wanting one or there having been no demand for one from users. People who use Inderscience might wish to let Inderscience know that we would find RIS/BibTeX download useful.

By the way, any luck mending the pure Inderscience scraper? And/Or did you decide to go ahead and write a totally new scraper as you had threatened?

Are you saying that citeulike got the metadata from the RSS feed sometime prior to my importing the article? and therefore, when I clicked on my import bookmark, citeulike looked in database, found the incomplete metadata and then presented me with the incorrect data? If that's the case, then is there a way to tell citeulike: "No, you've got incorrect metadata, go get the correct info from the webpage?" Thanks, Dan

new forum message overwrite of old entries when using browser button with unsupported sites

It works perfectly for me, using the popup browser button. Which browser button are you using - the popup or the non-popup. Do you have the most recent version (it hasn't changed for about a year)?

Could you post the URL that you see in the URL bar at the point where you can enter tags? It looks to me like your Firefox is misbehaving - I know from experience that it can sometimes make a pigs ear of working out which window is which...

new forum message overwrite of old entries when using browser button with unsupported sites

2008-07-16T20:03:10+00:00

Yes, it does post as the article with URL "about:blank" and has ID 80546. It is very easy to trick citeulike into doing this.

Go to an entry from an unsupported journal or database, for instance

http://aem.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/71/9/5484

select any entry from the results of a web of science search or your favorite unsupported database, for example csa illumina. Link below probably wont work. http://csaweb113v.csa.com/ids70/view_record.php?id=2&recnum=1&log=from_res&SID=387ca11ba8c01260c9a63b46b762045e&mark_id=search%3A2%3A0%2C0%2C2

Post either entry using the browser buttton. It automatically classifies the url as about:blank and therefore the entry is 80546. I see 693 other people have done something similar.

Thank you cjhall for your help. I hope this can be resolved soon. Not sure if you'd call it a bug, but it is definitely an undesirable feature.

Could CiteULike export a narrow selection of references instead of the whole library. It would be useful if could tick only a selection the references that have a particular tag, or a combination of tags. It would also be useful to be able to tick all those references in one go, of course.

Thanks for taking wishes.

new forum message Capital letters are not protected in BibTeX export

2008-07-16T10:07:06+00:00

yes, this is really a problem. Nevertheless, kristgy, if you add the curly braces in the title field from citeUlike, they are added to the bibtex item, and you still see the title in citeUlike well. for instance take a look on this one http://www.citeulike.org/user/cjrosales/article/2910493. Of course, you have to edit it manually, but just once, and not everytime you export it.

Then i thought that subscripts and superscripts worked that way too, but they don't. The $ symbol is not recognized.

I hope this help a little bit.

I'm not sure exactly what you're doing, but I think that the article in question has an ID of 80546. This infamous article has the URL "about:blank". When you try to post that URL, CiteULike sees that it has already been posted (as article 80546, back in the dim and distant past) and assumes that you are just another person bookmarking that URL. I don't see what you are doing to get "about:blank" though - perhaps you could walk me through it step by step? I use Firefox on a Mac, so I should be able to replicate your steps exactly.

This is an extremely annoying bug.

Using Debian Etch OS Iceweasel (firefox) v 2.0.0.14

If I click my "post to citeulike" bookmark button while looking at a journal article which citeulike does not support, It brings up a blank post article form. After filling this form out I find that it always overwrites the entry which I made on 6/21/2007. It overwrites all of the contents of that old entry and then suggests the tags from the old entry after I submit. If I change the tags to the appropriate ones for the new entry and submit, the new entry is created but citeulike thinks I made it on 6/21/2007 and the previous entry is lost. boooooo

This does not happen when I go to my citeulike homepage and click post manually. But usually I try the browser button just to see if it works with that journal. This is very annoying. Please fix and please support CSA Illumina and/or ISI Web of Knowledge

Hi,

You could use this iGoogle gadget to display the items of your library. It is not exactly what you want but you can customize the page layout (abstract, doi, tags). See your library .

new forum thread Full text links

2008-07-15T12:06:37+00:00

When I show CiteULike to my colleagues, they often have three complaints:

1. Item links on a library page lead to information pages for the items, and not to the item itself. To get to the item, you must first load the information page.

2. The full text links on the information page are not very obvious.

3. The abstract is near the bottom of the information page, forcing the user to scroll down.

To address these concerns, I have three suggestions for new features:

1. Display each item's full-text links on the library listing.

2. On the info page, display the full-text links in a larger font or brighter color.

3. On the info page, display the abstract directly below the citation. Most databases treat the abstract as part of the bibliographic record; why should CiteULike put it after the tags, priority, user notes, reviews, etc.?

4. I lied about only having three suggestions, but this one could encompass the others: Provide some way for the user to customize page layouts.

Thanks!

new forum message Can't post Inderscience articles

2008-07-11T08:50:21+00:00

Very weird. Looking around on the site, it seems that they have two entirely different routes to the same stuff. Thus, the article above is also available at: http://www.metapress.com/content/k71lq31868673703/?p=a712a3824c744ccaa5147508c4d79ae5&pi=0 However, that now also gives a "Sorry. Can't do it." error message, so I guess they must have changed the URL format too!

It occurs to me that, if writing a new scraper is a lot of work, you might want to consider updating the www.metapress.com scraper, and then pop up a message whenever anyone tries to post from inderscience.metapress.com to the effect that they should relocate the content from www.metapress.com (which does have RIS export) and post again.

The above assumes of course that the sites are complete duplicates of each other. Can anyone throw any light on this?

new forum message CiteULike and Zotero integration

2008-07-10T22:13:42+00:00

neils: thanks for your comments on Connotea. The reason I stuck with CiteULike a while ago was precisely b/c it focuses on citations/publications rather than trying to be a general bookmarking tool. That's also a reason (not the only or main one) why I don't use Zotero as my local reference manager, because it tries to cover everything; I use JabRef instead. But JabRef has an awful/non-existent set of citation styles, no plug-in into Word or Open Office, and a fairly low-traffic user community.

I just saw the Zotero preview, too. Version 1.5 will import EndNote styles! I also saw that they're building a synchronization to their servers and possibly other tools. This is all going in the right direction. Between JabRef, Zotero and CiteULike, that's all I'd ever need. Though I'd be a bit more at ease if CiteULike was open source...

Anyways, I'm rambling.

new forum message Amzon URL tags

2008-07-10T19:17:55+00:00

Every document in the system has a number of "linkouts", or links to places where the original document can be found. These might point to the document on the arXiv, a link to dx.doi.org, or a link to a particular publisher. When we do a BibTeX export, we pick a random link and put it in the record.

There are two issues here:

There's a creeping element of commercialism in that the Amazon link contains a key which gives us a microscopic amount of money if anyone happens to buy the book. That clearly has no place in a bibliography. I'm happy to remove this.

Books don't really have URLs anyway. Where should we link to? Amazon? Worldcat? CiteULike itself? An arbitrary country's national library. Maybe we just leave the field out?

new forum thread Amzon URL tags

2008-07-10T13:15:42+00:00

Dear CiteULike team,

Thank you for your wonderful work, I have a quick question.

If I post a book to my library form amazon it comes with a url containing citeulike information, but if I post to my library from, say, the arXiv, then the url specifies the location of the document. For example, the Neilsen and Chuang, "quantum computation and quantum information" book available here

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Quantum-Computation-Information-Cambridge-Sciences/dp/0521635039/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215695202&sr=8-1

has the following url in the bibtex of my library

http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=citeulike09-20\&path=ASIN/0521635039

This url is now appearing in my bibliography, which it probably shouldn't, but that may be a function of my bibliography style rather than anything wrong with citeulike. But arXiv bibliography items have a much more relevant url tag. So, my question is, what are the amazon url's supposed to refer to?

Feel free to tell me if I'm being excessively anal here.

2008-07-09T03:58:48+00:00

I see that Zotero just released a preview version with (a) synchronisation to their own servers and (b) many more citation styles. So my original post here may not be relevant for much longer. It might make sense for the Zotero developers to build their own synchronisation framework, rather than try to integrate with multiple, existing solutions.

emayorga - I find Connotea slow, buggy, broken, ugly and more suited to general bookmarking than as a reference manager. CiteULike works better for me in all respects and has a larger, more responsive community.

The minimal forms, i.e. the ones with the minimal number of product states built from local bases, are also presented and lead to a complete classification of pure three-qubit states.

it would be really cool if it was actually,

That way when you reference this article in latex, it shows up with the correct journal reference and a subsequent eprint reference.

Essentially, I'm saying that if there is journal reference information (which is not always) than this information should have primacy over any eprint information.

The imported Journal name is also incorrect. It Should be "Journal of Fluid Mechanics", rather than "Journal of Fluid Mechanics Digital Archive". This is probably a special case that would need to be programmed manually: JFM Online is split into two 'journals' in the CUP system: The "Digital Archive" is for older pre-1997 issues, the properly titles one contains newer articles.

This appeared to work (http://www.citeulike.org/user/rjw62/article/2963545), but on closer inspection some of the details were incorrect. In particular the imported year was 2006 (rather than 1985) and the imported issue number was -1 (when there shouldn't be an issue number at all). Note that the year has probably been taken from the "published online" date. This isn't appropriate to use in this case, since that records the date the archive was opened rather than the original publication date of the article. The issues number of "-1" seems to be used as a special placeholder value when each volume of a journal is published as a single issue.

Another alternative might be to have the CGI set the last-modified field of the HTTP header (for BibTeX, RIS, and PDFs). This would allow all HTTP-conforming tools to be able to download files only if they have been modified since the last download, which would hopefully also reduce the load on the server. Time-stamping is supported by wget, for example, but it gets a 404 response from the server when this is turned on client-side (presumably because the server provides no last-modified?).

Hi,

I have set up a group and have slowly amassed a number of papers in it.

When I view the group's library the "Group Tags" box on the right is useful in that it shows all the tags for articles in the library. Clicking on a tag show only those articles with the selected tag from the group's library.

However, when I then choose a "related tag" I get *all* articles in CiteULike with that tag rather than just those in my group's library.

Is this the intended behaviour? If so, maybe the heading could include some text saying that "clicking on a tag will return results from all articles".

2008-06-24T21:47:48+00:00

That was the reason I asked for, and was given, a line of, and the ability to view the whole abstract on the first posting page. Watch for that and what you are asking for is already there. BUT, if the abstract is not there, or perhaps other details are not arriving properly, like authors' names, there is problem in adding or correcting the details manually which I would love to see sorted. Which is that one cannot add or edit all the necessary details before the article is posted, and so, when one does, the groups the article has gone to have an incomplete version and need editing separately. If you accept a faulty direct posting this applies to all the incorrect details. If instead one goes back and posts entirely manually, the URL or DOI cannot be entered until afterwards. Could an ability to enter those be added to the first or second manual posting pages, please?

2008-06-24T17:28:47+00:00

As there are occasional problems with abstracts when importing from PubMed (Nature articles are frequent offenders, maybe for the same reason), would it be possible to have a quick way to visualize if an article has an abstract or not in the library list, with a " icon, in the same way there is a comment or a pdf icon next to the article title in the library list ? So we could check very rapidly if the abstract has been omitted when creating entries.

new forum thread abbreviated journal title

2008-06-24T16:55:51+00:00

When an article is post to the database using the browser button it fills the Journal field with the full Journal name not the abbreviated journal title. This looks reasonable since one can always abbreviate the tittle afterwards. However in bibtex this would have to be deal by a rather intelligent style (.bst) file. Unfortunately the bst files are usually provided by the Journals and do not include this feature. They assume the journal field has the abbreviated Journal title. So this makes the bib file generated by citulike unusable (at least for me that use prsty.bst from APS). Does somebody know how to deal with this problem? Is there some bst code that can be somehow appended to the Journal bst code to do the job? Thanks.

new forum thread Bibtex / library timestamp

2008-06-24T09:11:57+00:00

Hi,

Sorry for the numerous feature requests, but to be honest, you guys are just too darn responsive to my requests! You know, give a mouse a cookie...

Anyway, here's my latest wish: similar to the ability to get an MD5 sum of a given user's library bibtex file using a URL GET parameter, i.e.

http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/gjuggler/?md5=true

I was wondering if it would be possible to also get a timestamp of the last-modified date of the library. Something along the lines of:

http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/gjuggler/?timestamp=true

that would simply return the timestamp of the date of the last modification to my library.

Cheers, Greg

adding another tag is pretty uncomfortable since it requires a lot of manual work (though this could be done automatically!). furthermore a functionality to export rss/bibtex directly from my publications would simply be consistent with the overall behaviour/exporting facility of citeulike

new forum thread Project MUSE importing needs changed

2008-06-23T18:39:17+00:00

Project MUSE seems to have changed the page format for some (but maybe not all?) of their journals. So, the CiteULike coding to recognize the citation details probably needs to be updated.

Here's an example to try out: http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/theory_and_event/v011/11.2.kaufman-osborn.html

new forum message Abstract missing with post from PubMed

2008-06-23T09:08:25+00:00

It's actually going wrong for a slightly different reason. That article was discovered by another scraper originally: the one for ingentaconnect.com. When we originally imported the details from them, the abstract wasn't available. Ingenta kindly told us what the article's PubMed ID was, so we can work out the connection between the version you found and the version we had already.

So, although the PubMed record includes the abstract, we don't have code (yet) in CiteULike which does the intelligent thing and tries to merge the details from two different sources (Ingenta and PubMed). Consequently CiteULike plays dumb, and just sticks with the details it already had.

One for us to definitely fix, but it's probably a reasonably involved piece of work to get this right.

I think it would be easily to go around. If the article is your own publication, you may add a tag as "myownpublication" then insert all articles under "myownpublication" tag into your own webpage.

new forum thread please add "dc:year" tag in RSS export

2008-06-21T17:35:11+00:00

I write a XSL file to transform the RSS file that I can get from my library. However, it is very difficult to get a publication year from RSS. Currently, the publication year is included in <dc:source> tag, but it requires many different ways to handle the year (for example, "3 January 2007" vs. "Feburary 2008"). It would be greatly appreciated if a "<dc:year>" tag is added in the exported RSS feed.

Posting of some articles from pubmed using the bookmarklet seems to miss adding the abstract. An example page where this is a problem is http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18377639?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum

This was not originally a problem when posting through PubMed, so I assume it's something that NCBI has decided to change in their page formatting.

Thanks for the quick response. Knowing which articles have PDFs is great!

The url generated with the PDF icons in group libraries refers to the paper as though it were from the user library. The PDF icon link does not work if the article is not in your personal library.

new forum thread Canonicalise entries (via Pubmed, Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies etc)

2008-06-16T16:14:48+00:00

I've used the Perl script at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=515163 to canonicalise entries (it uses the Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies at http://liinwww.ira.uka.de). This has to be done offline, and could be improved with access to a wider range of subjects - e.g. by accessing Pubmed as well.

I'd like to see a serverside version of this, set up to use multiple sources so I could canonicalise all my entries via a web interface, and automatically add missing abstracts etc. This should help find and merge duplicate entries too.

For me would be an absolute killer feature - fingers crossed.

I don't now what would be the good formula, but it would sure be useful :-)
