This Wordpress plugin enables you to fetch publication data from PubMan via the Search&Export REST interface.

Description

This Wordpress plugin enables you to fetch publication data from PubMan via the Search&Export REST interface of eSciDoc PubMan (http://pubman.mpdl.mpg.de). The plugin depends on a web server with expat enabled for parsing XML.

You can get user-friendly access to the REST interface here: http://pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/search/SearchAndExport_rest_sample.jsp

The plugin transforms the "snippet" output of

http://pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/search/SearchAndExport?cqlQuery=MySearchString&exportFormat=APA&outputFormat=snippet&language=all

into a publication list and returns this list back to Wordpress.

Usage

Put the following into your page or post:

[pubman-content searchstring="MySearchString" citationstyle="APA"]

Examples for searchstrings:

• escidoc.metadata=sengbusch
• escidoc.any-persons=sengbusch%20AND%20escidoc.subject=fische

For a list of possible escidoc-terms, e.g. escidoc.any-persons, etc., please visit: http://coreservice.mpdl.mpg.de:8080/srw/search/escidoc_all?operation=explain
