compile-publication-list

Tired of manually creating a publication list for your CV or Website? This tool uses the NASA ADS system to automatically generate a publication list for you.

Installation

No installation necessary. You need to have the ads package installed. Just clone this repository.

Set up an ADS API token

This program requires an API token to use ADS. Here's how to obtain one:

1. Visit NASA/ADS to sign up for an account if you don't have one.

2. Visit the API Token page, log in with your ADS account and you will see an API token string. Copy that token string.

3. Set your token string to an environment variable named ADS_API_TOKEN. You can do that by running:

   # If you use bash or bash-like shells --
   export ADS_API_TOKEN="your token string here"

   # If you use csh or csh-like shells --
   setenv ADS_API_TOKEN "your token string here"

   You can put this line into your ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc file.

4. Alternatively, set your ADS token in the config file.

Usage

1. Modify the config file for your specific needs.
2. Run python compile_latex.py default_config.ini (or the name of the config file you provided)

TODOs:

Support for HTML will come in the future
