Publication List Service

You can use the "PubliG" wizard (Publication List Generator) to generate lists of publications for

people,
organizational entities like chairs, departments or faculties,
working groups or research projects, e.g. DFG-projects.

Data are based on the publications listed in the university bibliography.

A unique identifier is assigned to every generated list, which is then added to the following JavaScript object. This allows you to directly embed it into the HTML of any website of your choosing.

<div data-ub-widget-id="Identifier"></div>
<script src="https://bibliographie.ub.rub.de/static/js/publig.js"></script>

Do you use Imperia? IT.Services provides a flex module for the integration of publication lists.

How to use PubliG

Please note: you need to sign in before using "PubliG", otherwise you won’t be able to save your lists!

Use "PubliG" to customize your list of publications and check the results by clicking the "Preview" button anytime
Save your list via "Save new list of publications". It is now stored in your profile under a unique identifier; you can access it by clicking on "Your Lists".
Choose "embed" to copy the JavaScript object to clipboard.
Insert the JavaScript object into your HTML page.

Tips

Behind the (i) in PubliG you can find more information on the different features and filters.
In the field "Name of your list", you can give your publication list a descriptive name to make it easier to identify. This will then be displayed in addition to the identifier in your saved publication lists.
We use the Zotero Style Repository as a basis for our citation styles. Beside the suggested styles, you are free to use any Zotero style you wish.
You can view, edit and safe your configurated publication list – either with the same ID ("Save changes") or as an edited copy with a new ID ("Save new list of publications") – on your profile page under "List(s) of Publications".
To adjust the look of a list that has already been embedded in your website, simply edit the list in question with PubliG, and save it under the same ID.

Layout

Once you have embedded the JavaScript object into your HTML page, you can tweak the look of your list by adding CSS code. As the object always inherits the CSS formatting of the page it is embedded in, the code snippet shown below may be used as a starting point for customization.

CSS 1

<style type="text/css">
.ub-widget {color: #003560; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
.ub-widget a {color: #003560; font-weight: bold; }
.ub-widget h1 {font-size: 150%; }
.ub-widget h2 {font-size: 120%; color: #8dae10; text-transform: uppercase;  font-weight: bold; margin-top: 2em; }
.ub-widget h3 {font-size: 120%;  }
.ub-widget h4 {font-size: 100%; color: #707070; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: -1em; margin-top: 2em;}
.linked-csl-entry {}
.csl-toc {}
.csl-bib-body {margin-bottom: 2em;}
.csl-entry {margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em;}
.csl-left-margin {display: inline; font-weight: bold;}
.csl-right-inline {display: inline; margin-left: 1em;}
.ext-bib-links {margin-top: -0.5em;}
.ub-widget li + li::before {content: " ";}
.ub-widget ul li {display: inline; margin-left: 0em; line-height: 200% }
.ub-widget ul li a {background-color: #003560; color: #fff; padding: 0.25em 0.5em; text-decoration: none; }
.ub-widget ul {margin-left: -2.5em; font-size: 100%; margin-bottom: 0em;}
.toc_return {margin-top: 0em; font-size: 90%;}
</style>

Accordion menu

If you want to use an accordion menu for your publication list, you need a customized JavaScript object:

JavaScript object

Then insert this JavaScript object directly into the desired HTML page and insert the respective publication list ID as the identifier.

We recommend the following CSS snippet to visually customize the list:

CSS 2

<style type="text/css">
.ub-widget {color: #003560; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
.ub-widget a {color: #003560; font-weight: bold; }
.ub-widget h1 {font-size: 150%; }
.ub-widget h2 {font-size: 120%; color: #8dae10; text-transform: uppercase;  font-weight: bold; margin-top: 2em; }
.ub-widget h4 {padding: 0.5em; border-bottom: 2px solid #8dae25; background-color: #e6e6e6; font-size: 120%; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: -1em; margin-top: 2em;}
.linked-csl-entry {}
.csl-toc {}
.csl-bib-body {margin-bottom: 2em;}
.csl-entry {margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0.5em;}
.csl-left-margin {display: inline; font-weight: bold;}
.csl-right-inline {display: inline; margin-left: 1em;}
.ext-bib-links {margin-top: -0.5em; margin-left: 0.5em}
.ub-widget li + li::before {content: " ";}
.ub-widget ul li {display: inline; margin-left: 0em; line-height: 200% }
.ub-widget ul li a {background-color: #003560; color: #fff; padding: 0.25em 0.5em; text-decoration: none; }
.ub-widget ul {margin-left: -2.5em; font-size: 100%; margin-bottom: 0em;}
.toc_return {margin-top: 0em; font-size: 90%;}
</style>

Please note: For the accordion menu to work, the publication list must have a table of contents and be grouped by year or publication type. If you need help with the integration, please contact us at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I generate publication lists for organizational units or projects?

The prerequisite for this is that the organizational unit or project has been created in the university bibliography. In PubliG, you can use the "Organization(s) and project(s)" facet to select the desired entity and adjust which publications should be taken into account when creating the list.

Can I create lists for other people?

After signing in, you can configure publication lists for any person, save them and integrate them into websites. The saved list can be made available to others using the "Share" function.

Do I have to update my lists myself?

If a list generated with PubliG is included on your website, it is automatically updated as soon as new publications are assigned to you, your organizational unit or your project in the university bibliography. If you generate such a data record yourself or if it is imported via ORCID, the title will appear on your website after it has been processed by the University Bibliography team.

Can I integrate several lists into one page?

If you want to insert several publication lists in one HTML page (e.g. your own publications and supervised dissertations), you can do this using additional identifiers:

Can I change lists that are already included?

Publication lists already embedded in web pages can be customized in appearance via "List(s) of publications" -> "Edit", provided they are saved again with PubliG under the same identifier.

Do I need an account?

To be able to save a publication list, you need to register on the university bibliography page. All you need is a RUB LoginID; you can then log in via the RUB Identity Management. A separate account is not necessary.

What is determined by the citation style?

The selected citation style determines which elements of your publication list are displayed and how. For example, it determines which identifiers (DOI, PubMed ID...) are displayed, whether first names of authors are resolved, whether there is a limit to the author list or which elements are displayed in bold or italics. These properties cannot be changed. In the Zotero Style Repository you will find a large number of different styles; we will be happy to assist you with the selection.

One note: All styles can only ever output the next higher superordinate order. For example, if an author has published a chapter in an anthology, which in turn has appeared in a series, the series number may be displayed in the publication list, but not the title of the series.

Can I integrate my own style?

Yes - you can generate or customize your own CSL style and use it for your publication list. Please send us the corresponding CSL file. We will then integrate the style for subsequent use in PubliG.
