publication-fetcher
===================

[](#publication-fetcher)

publication-fetcher is a composer package that imports publication lists from multiple sources such as BibTex file, Google Scholar, EndNote file, PubMed identifers and DOIs.

- [Table of contents](docs/toc.md)

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

publication-fetcher both offers an API and a CLI to import publications.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
    composer require proximify/publication-fetcher
```

or create a project:

```
    composer create-project proximify/publication-fetcher
```

**Note:** If you install publication-fetcher as dependency (i.e. installing with the require option), you have to create the binary files manually. To do that, go to C folder under src and run "make" command.

API
---

[](#api)

The publication-fetcher imports from bibtex, Google Scholar (bibtex) and endnode files. Sample bibtex and endnodes files are available docs folder.

```
    use Proximify\PublicationFetcher\PublicationFetcher;

    $importer = new PublicationFetcher();
    $type = 'bibtex';
    $source = 'PATH_TO_FILE;
    $res = $importer->importPublications($type, $source);
    print_r($res);
```

It also fetches publications from PubMed references (i.e. PubMed ids)

```
    print('Importing from Pubmed:');
    $type = 'pubmed';
    $sources = [28375682, 20813019];

    foreach ($sources as $source)
    {
        $res = $importer->importPublications($type, $source);
        print_r($res);
    }
```

and DOIs:

```
    print('Importing from DOI:');
    $type = 'doi';
    $source = 'DOI: 10.1177/0741713611402046 DOI:10.18653/v1/P17-1152';
    $res = $importer->importPublications($type, $source);
    print_r($res);
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

publication-fetcher offers a CLI, a web interface and a test suite for testing purposes.

CLI:

```
    composer import-pubs
```

Test suite

```
    php dev/tests/Test.php
```

You can also use the web interface for testing under the dev folder:

```
    php -S localhost:8000 -t dev/www
```

**Note:** Please set the correct path for the autoloader.php under the dev/www/api/index.php and dev/tests/Test.php. Otherwise, the test script will fail.

Known Issues
------------

[](#known-issues)

Publication fetcher component was created by using UNIWeb's publication importing system which includes features like reference deduplication. Deduplication process involves ignoring references already in user's CV. Features like this requires direct access to the database which is not supported by this component yet.

Future Work
-----------

[](#future-work)

A possible future work would be creating another component (i.e. publication importer) which both employs publication fetcher and deduplicater components to prevent importing references that currently exists in database.
