Publish
Researchers and research institutions are faced with an increasing demand for demonstrating their productivity, for example when applying for funding. Demonstrating productivity means preparing publication records, for inclusion in a CV, on a web page, or in an annual report. Preparing such publication records is time-consuming and error-prone, in particular when a large number of publications must be presented in a uniform manner. The bibliographic reference system Publish solves this.
Publication records (in for example BibTeX format) from a large number of researchers or departments may be imported into a common database, validated against a list of known venues (journal and conference names), checked for duplicate entries and common typos. Publication records may then be categorized and generated, in BibTeX, LaTeX, or PDF format. The database is maintained as a simple text file which may be easily edited using any text editor.
