creating faculty publication lists from scopus rss feeds
DESCRIPTION
I'll cover how to convert an RSS search alert from the Scopus citation database into a list of publications for an institution's researchers. The techniques covered will include doing institution affiliation searches combined with subject limits in Scopus, and then processing the resulting feed using two free RSS services: - Yahoo Pipes to reformat and filter the results set and to add EXproxy information to the links - Feedburner to optimize the feeds as well as options such as click-through tracking, subscription tracking, and subscriptions by email or feed reader. I'll also discuss several ways of embedding the list on a web page.TRANSCRIPT
