Formats

Multiple DOIs import

Origami can load several DOIs at once from a JSON formated file with the following structure:

[
    "10.1109/biorob.2016.7523449",
    "10.3389/fnins.2017.00350",
    "10.3389/fnins.2017.00535",
    "10.1109/tbcas.2017.2759700",
    "10.3389/fnins.2016.00594",
    "10.1007/s11263-017-1050-6"
]

Saves

Origami saves and loads collections in JSON format. The generated files have the following structure:

{
  "appVersion": "0.11.1", # the version of the app used to generate this save
  "display": 0, # the current display's index (0 for graph, 1 for list)
  "knownDois": ["10.1109/tpami.2016.2574707"], # list of DOIs clicked at least once (used to highlight new publications)
  "crossref": # pending requests to crossref.org

Install

Origami is build with Electron, React and Redux.

Follow these steps to download the source code, edit and build Origami:

  1. install Node.js
  2. clone the repository by running from a terminal git clone https://github.com/aMarcireau/origami.git
  3. go to the created origami folder and run npm install

For development, run the command npm run-script watch from the origami folder. A development build is triggered every time a file in the souce directory is modified.

To create a new release:

  1. create a personal access token (see https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token)
  2. create a file auth.json in the origami directory with the following structure:
{
    "username": "Github username",
    "token": "personal access token"
}
  1. generate a production build for each supported platform with npm run-script build
  2. create a new Github release (requires administration rights on this repository) with npm run-script release

To build Windows apps with macOS Catalina, one must patch Wine (see https://github.com/electron/node-rcedit/issues/51#issuecomment-546234084).
