This site is currently running WordPress, hosted on Dreamhost, using a one-click install. I’ve tried a lot of (flat-file) content-management systems and have even written my own. Either would be my preference, but alas, here we are.
Two custom WordPress plugins help make my scholarly work visible to Google Scholar and Zotero.
- Scholar Citation Meta looks up the DOI of a piece and automatically includes on that page and post. One major piece is rewriting links to the actual PDFs so that Google Scholar will identify it appropriately. I use this on each article/book post like on this paper. This plugin has a bunch of functionality, including options for translated pieces, overwriting some/all metadata using BibTeX (used so that this book chapter is appropriately connected to the book), and fallback metadata lookup from CrossRef using DataCite and DOI. Note that Google Scholar expects each paper on its own page, publication title, author, date, an abstract, and a direct open PDF link.
- Scholar Citation Meta Scanner scans a page for all the DOIs and includes them in a citable list, mainly for Zotero. This is similar to clicking the Zotero button in the browser on a Google Scholar search results page where there are many sources. I use this on my Papers + Writings page. I also combined it with the Scholar Citation Meta to list a special issue introduction that I co-authored along with each of the articles in that issue.
The site runs on the Maker Theme. Thanks to Alan Wiig‘s sharp eye in finding it.
Many of the photos are duotoned with #ffffff (white, overlay) and #003eaa (blue, background multiply). Thanks to Dominic Prestifilippo for suggesting CSS Duotone Generator and for this tip.
I wrote a simple R-script to generate the featured image for my papers, which pulls from a PDF version of the paper.
The matrix-inspired title shuffle on papers tagged with digital geography (like this paper) was inspired by nullpt.rs. I put my version on JSFiddle.
