In Miscellaneous tab (within Export, not the other one) Add URLs to Bibtex export: select in the URL field.Bibtex tab uncheck “Export unicode …”, otherwhise there are problems with special characters.Once installed, a bit of customization in Tools > Preferences > BetterBibTex tab In order to keep this file synced with your Zotero collection you can use the Zotero add-in BetterBibTex. The academic-website requires a bibtex file as an input for generating publication records. Export a synced bibtex file from your Zotero folder. This is the folder that contains the information that will be published in your website. You can choose another name for the folder but I recommend this because to keep coherence with the following workflow. I recommend to create a folder called academic-publications where you can save or move bibliographic records where you are one of the authors. Zotero allows to organize your references in folders, which then can be exported independently to other formats. Save your academic references in a folder/subfolder you get your publications rendered in your academic website.you add a bibliographic reference to Zotero.I will just focus on some recommendations and options of BBT in order to automatize the incorporation of publication records on your academic website. I won’t cover here the use of Zotero or BetterBibTex (BBT) in detail, there are excellent tutorials for this. I recommend Zotero for its excellent quality, for being open source, and because it allows to keep collections/subcollections files synced in any place in your computer thanks to the plug-in Better BibTex. Therefore, I believe the best way to do this is to keep your own references saved just once in a reference manager and then link the information from there. ![]() ![]() If populating a website means to write a different record for any publication AGAIN … no way. One of the things that academics hate is to deliver information from publications in different formats all the time (university forms, project reports, CVs, etc), very annoying and time consuming. (if you already have a bib file and you do not intend to automatize this process, proceed to step 2) Getting and sync your publications from a reference manager If not, I recommend to start reading this excellent post by Andreas Handel as well as this other one by Solomon Kurz. This workflow is based on tools as blogdown, Zotero and BetterBibTex, and it assumes that you already have a local project folder with the academic theme installed. So I decided to attempt to tweak it a bit and adapt it to my needs, which resulted in a workflow for integrating publications for the academic-wowchemy theme. I tried it and it didn’t work properly from scratch, probably because it was outdated from previous versions of Zotero and R and its dependencies and packages. I thought it would be pretty known issue, so I was quite surprised that I could not find any alternative for this except for a very nice script from Lorenzo Busetto which is a great job. I could have tried a bit more but the fact that it is based on python (and I prefer R) and with a limited customization made me look for a different alternative based on R. This engine is called hugo-academic-cli, but unfortunately did not worked well for me. The academic-wowchemy people of course are already aware of this limitation and created an engine that generates publication records (as markdown files) from references stored in Bibtex format, which is great as it is an standard format to export references. So, I wanted that for my own publications … but it was very time consuming as it requires to create one separate markdown file for each publication. One of the reasons for this is its excellent capacity for displaying, tagging and searching publications, which is something quite unique and appealing as it can observed in this example. Despite some critics regarding the difficulties in setting up a website which is constantly characterized as “simple” by their actual maintainers and promoters (wowchemy), still has many features that make it the first option for many scientist. Using the academic-hugo theme for a personal website where to organize and share academic activities has several advantages. ![]() After trying a couple of themes I decided to choose the more traditional way for this kind of objective, which is the academic theme. After looking for a while the best choice I found was the static site generator hugo via R/blogdown, which I was already using for websites of some of my seminars. I wanted to be able to establish links between many things that where connected but in my site appeared as unrelated, and I also wanted a smoother navigation and searching of content, hopefully using some R tools. After developing and maintaining a personal website generated vía Rmarkdown/Jekyll for some years, I decided to look for an alternative that allowed me a better organization of my academic work.
