This Wordpress plugin enables you to fetch publication data from PubMan via the Search&Export REST interface.
Description[edit]
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
into a publication list and returns this list back to Wordpress.
Usage[edit]
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

Configuration[edit]
Inside Wordpress's site-admin area[edit]
Admin settings[edit]
Go to "Settings" and "PubMan Content Plugin Config" and put in the following parameters:
- Researcher's name, e.g. sengbusch
- Base-URL, e.g. http://pubman.mpdl.mpg.de
- Path to full item view in PubMan, e.g. /pubman/item/
- Path to the Search&Export interface in PubMan, e.g. /search/SearchAndExport
- Default text for the link to the full item view, e.g. [LINK]
- Default search string
- Default sort key, e.g.
escidoc.issued,,0
, which sorts by "date issued" (descending). You can find a list of possible search terms here (search for "sortKeyword"). - Default number of items per page
- Default citation style
User settings[edit]
Go to "Manage" and "PubMan Content User Options".
On this page you find all subject terms of PubMan items that are found by using the search terms specified in "Admin settings" above. Currently it uses "Researcher's name" as default search term. This will be adapted for future use cases.
The plugin checks which of the subject terms have already been put in the blog as "Categories" and shows those as "ticked" items in a list of all subject terms found.
The ticked subjects are the categories for which the plugin will fetch the PubMan items and will create a blog post each if necessary. Existing blog posts of PubMan items will be updated if necessary. You can force an update of all blog posts by ticking the check-box at "Force update" below the list of subject terms.
