How to get your Publication List into your personal page (MEPA) of the University of Groningen


Ideally your publications as researcher within University Medical Center Groningen(UMCG) would be included into the library's Repositories and the current CRIS (Current research Information System) METIS
The personal staff pages (MEPA) of the University of Groningen offers the option to show your publications directly from these above mentioned systems. Currently there is however no optimal way to fill these systems for the UMCG. 
The University of Groningen Library is implementing a new CRIS  based on PURE from ATIRA. This will eventually change the workflow of the MEPA's! Check this video (Dutch/English)

As a temporary work-around there is an option to import Publication Lists in this MEPA.


  • Step 1: Make sure you have an updated list of your publications in your preferred reference management tool (RefWorks, Google Scholar, EndNote Web, Mendeley, Zotero, Publish or Perish ...) 
  • Step 2: a Publication List WITHOUT links is not optimal. To enhance the effect of people finding you in Google for instance, these lists -also the MEPA- SHOULD contain LINKS to your work. So make sure there are links IN your references.
    In RefWorks you can add them in the (additional) Field URLS.
    You can use the Citation Link in our Get-it! Menu (under Advanced) 
    or generate a persistent one with this tool http://bit.ly/citationLinker 


  • Step 3: Export the references in .ris format. 
  • Step 4: Login into MyUniversity Step 5: Go to View Your Profile Page (in the top right corner) 
  • Step 5: Choose: EDIT in the left menu 
  • Step 6: Choose File Manager 
  • Step 7: Click CHOOSE FILE and find your .ris file. Click UPLOAD FILE. If you are updating a file, first delete the old RIS file in the File Overview. 
  • Step 8: Close, and refresh the page if the references do not appear right away.
    Under ALL PUBLICATIONS you should now see the list sorted by Publication Year. Contact me if you have any questions! We can advice and help you set up this for you!
    Obviously the basic rule (GIGO) for data and communication rules here too... Garbage In, Garbage Out. (I need to tweak my references!)

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription. To be downloaded from Google Play Store or Amazon App Store the following publishers have been added  Project MUSE Cambridge University Press American Marketing Association Academy of Management Royal Society of Chemistry Institute of Physics American Physical Society Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) American Geophysical Union International Society for Optics a...

KOPERNIO extension to find PDF's : plus Open Access button, Unpaywall, Google Scholar and Connect UPDATED!

UPDATE:  Clarivate Analytics Acquires Research Startup Kopernio to Accelerate Pace of Scientific Innovation I am currently testing 4 browser extensions in Chrome that can help me find the PDF i need. They seem to be popping up like dandelions in the fields ;-) (Please read my post on ALL possible options to get to a PDF:  http://digicmb.blogspot.nl/2017/03/how-to-get-pdf-infographic.html ) Here is a first glance of what they do. For testing i used this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.008   (not free or open access) Kopernio (previously  Canary Haz ( http://kopernio.com) Note this is a .com extension. This  new company  has been founded just 8 months ago. The Kopernio  extension was released just in March 2017. Currently the Kopernio button is in alpha-testing and so far it seems free. The previous name appeared to be a tribute to the #ICANHAZPDF movement (requesting pdf's via Twitter with this hashtag). ...

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that....   Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com.  With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation  ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone  into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things :  the base url string for the RSS feed:  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For   Inuit Art Zone  the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
