Public publication citations

The Publications page exposes 56 of the 57 structured records through a static, GitHub-Pages-compatible citation dialog.

Build-time data

scripts/generate_publication_citations.rb writes the reviewed generator output to _data/publication-citations-generated.yml. Regenerate it after changing citation-relevant publication or person metadata:

bundle exec ruby scripts/generate_publication_citations.rb

CI or local checks should use the non-writing freshness check:

bundle exec ruby scripts/generate_publication_citations.rb --check

Automatic refresh before commits

This repository uses the tracked .githooks/pre-commit hook. Before every local commit, the hook regenerates _data/publication-citations-generated.yml and stages that generated file for the same commit. A generator error stops the commit rather than committing stale citation data.

Enable the tracked hooks once after cloning the repository:

git config core.hooksPath .githooks

Public interaction

Supported publication entries receive a Cite button. The dialog provides:

  • Chicago bibliography (Notes and Bibliography), MLA 9, and BibTeX tabs;
  • semantic citation display;
  • clipboard copy with a legacy-browser fallback;
  • individual BibTeX, RIS, and CSL-JSON downloads;
  • Escape, outside-click, arrow-key, and focus-loop keyboard behavior;
  • a compact mobile bottom sheet;
  • reduced-motion support.

Unsupported publication categories do not receive an inactive control. JavaScript failure leaves the original publication list and links intact.

The Cite control is always placed on its own row beneath the final bibliographic or external-link line.

The current public scope comprises books, edited journal issues, journal articles, book chapters, working papers, reviews, datasets, digital documents, maps, media articles, blog posts, video, posters, websites, and early unrefereed papers. Classic BibTeX uses conservative standard fallbacks where it does not define a dedicated modern type.

The in-progress habilitation project is deliberately excluded. A citation control would imply a stable, citable publication state that the project does not yet have.

RIS and CSL-JSON are generated from the same structured publication records. They preserve separate given and family names, prefer dedicated DOI fields, retain a non-DOI URL where available, and omit unknown values. Download filenames use the same stable key as BibTeX. Site-local document links are expanded to canonical public URLs during generation.
