Preprints Section of Publications Page

[goldblum]

I want to add a "preprints" section to the publications page. I tried just entering "preprints" as a year, and while this does add the section, the name of the section now overlaps the title (see the picture below). It would be great if there were an easy way to add a preprints section since so many academics have papers they want to highlight which have not been published yet.

I added:

{% if entry.preprint %} <a href="{{ entry.preprint }}" class="btn btn-sm z-depth-0" role="button" target="_blank">Preprint</a> {% endif %}

To this file https://github.com/sdaza/sdaza.github.com/blob/source/_layouts/bib.html

Then, the bib entries could be included in the preprint field, an example:

@article{voigt2020,
  title = {Trends in {{Education}}-Specific {{Differences}} in {{Disability}}-{{Free Life Expectancy}} in {{Spain}}, 2008-2017},
  author = {Voigt, Mathias and Daza, Sebastian and Ordanovich, Dariya and Palloni, Alberto},
  date = {2020},
  journaltitle = {Working Paper},
  url = {https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/mf6n8/},
  urldate = {2020-09-02},
  code = {https://gitlab.com/csic-echo/compression-morbidity},
  preprint = {https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/mf6n8/},
  status = {Under review}
}

You can use the same logic to add any field you want (https://sdaza.com/publications/). Using Zotero, you can add those fields in the Extra section:

tex.code= https://github.com/sdaza/reentry-work-lifecourse
tex.preprint = https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/k5zyd/
tex.status = Under review
tex.bibtex_show = true

@sdaza Thanks for the suggestion. I do want a separate section for preprints though outside of other years, since those papers are often working papers and don't fall into a specific year nicely.

[sdaza]

just a short comment, it is a trend that published papers include also a preprint...

[goldblum]

Thanks. I do think this is a solution for a different issue.

[sdaza]

yes, I agree.

You can do that quite easily by tweaking the configuration of the jekyll/scholar module

in _config.yml add:
sort_by: year, month
order: descending, descending
type_order: [unpublished, article, inbook, conference, incollections, inproceedings, proceedings, book, misc, techreport]
type_names: {unpublished: Pre-Prints / In Preparation}

in _pages/publications.md file, replace everything by:

<div class="publications">
 {% bibliography --template bib --group_by type,year --group_order ascending,descending %}
</div>

in your bibtex
use @Unpublished instead of @Article

No need to manually group by type/year when jekyll/scholar can already do it!

@William-N-Havard

Thanks so much for your help! I tried this, but it creates a section for "Journal Articles", one for "Conference Articles", and one for "Unpublished". It also leaves weird text near the top. I assume I'm doing something incorrect. Should my full _pages/publications.md file be:

---
layout: page
permalink: /publications/
title: publications
nav: true
---

<div class="publications">
 {% bibliography --template bib --group_by type,year --group_order ascending,descending %}
</div>

[sdaza]

I was able to use the configuration that @William-N-Havard suggested:

My _config file includes:

sort_by: date
order: descending
type_order: [article, inbook, book, unpublished, misc, report, conference, incollections, inproceedings, proceedings]
type_names: {unpublished: working papers, report: reports, article: journal articles, 
      inproceedings: conference articles & others}

publication.md file (my bib file is sdaza.bib):

---
layout: page
permalink: /publications/
title: publications
nav: true
---

<div class="publications">
 {% bibliography -f sdaza --group_by type %}
</div>

I changed a bit the type headers adding these lines to _base.scss in the publication section:

  h2.bibliography {
    color: $grey-color-light;
    border-top: 1px solid $grey-color-light;
    padding-top: 1rem;
    margin-top: 2rem;
    margin-bottom: 2rem;
    text-align: right;
  }

I tried this approach, but I am unable to change Unpublished to Preprints
