ImpactPubs

Description

This is a WordPress plugin to automatically display a publication profile on a website.

Results can be pulled from PubMed and will be automatically updated daily.

One profile can be created per blog user.

[publications]

If your site has multiple users, each user can create their own publications list on the dashboard. The
shortcode is then changed into:

[publications name=login_name]

To retrieve results from PubMed:
Because PubMed does not use unique identifiers for a authors,
you must come up with a way to search for yourself that distinguishes
you from other people in the database.

For example:

  • «mcclintock»

  • «mcclintock B»

  • «mcclintock B AND Cold Spring Harbor[affiliation]»

Screenshots

  • Example of required user input. This is a form on the Wordpress dashboard.

  • Example of output the end-user sees upon requesting the page. Style may vary depending on your WordPress theme.

Installation

  1. Download the Plugin and activate it.

  2. Go to PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/) and find a unique string search string to identify
    the papers you would like to display.

  3. Enter the search string on the plugin page or on your user profile page in WordPress.

  4. Wherever you’d like the publications list to appear, type [publications name=loginname], where loginname is your WordPress login name.
