Read your bibliographic data from orcid.org and transform it to a Markdown or reStructuredText file.

You need following things:

• a valid ORCID
• requests installed

Persons on the orcid-profile must be marked as follows to be recognised / distinguished by publications.py.

Make sure that the authors are marked at least with one of the following:

• 'author'
• 'Writing - original draft'
• 'Writing - review & editing'

Editors may be marked as 'editor'.

To parse the data of an orcid.org-profile, you must pass the corresponding ID to publications.py as an argument.

$ python publications.py [ORCID]

Using my ORCID: 0009-0008-8267-272X this looks as follows.

$ python publications.py '0009-0008-8267-272X'

This creates a publications.txt-file in the directory, where you called publications.py. In the publications.txt-file all works from the given ORCID-profile are listed and sorted by year starting with your latest publication.

In case you like reStructuredText over Markdown pass -format='rst' to publications.py as follows. Markdown ('md') is the default configuration.

$ python publications.py [ORCID] -format='rst'

To output the publications.txt-file in another directory pass -path='[other/directory/]' to publications.py. The default is the directory where the file is called ('./').

$ python publications.py [ORCID] -path='../my/other/directory/'

For my homepage I wanted to list my publications on one site. This project is inspired by this blogpost by Chris Holdgraf.
