Publications related to the portal scope #111

Closed jenningsdt closed 3 years ago

jenningsdt commented 3 years ago

It would be great to be able to see the publications related to a portal's specific scope similar to what you can see when doing a search on GBIF (contentType=literature) or on the country pages (https://www.gbif.org/country/US/publications/about).

I forgot to comment on this issue. We do not track citations on an occurrence level, only on a dataset level. Meaning that we do not know which occurrences are used, only which datasets are used (and from that we can deduce higher levels like publisher and country).

So this is not an option to do based on the occurrence scope. It would have to be specified separately. But we can make the literature search available, but it might not be possible to scope it as you wish. So:

Development is in progress and is visible online, but is not ready for adding to any sites

Hi @jenningsdt I think this is in a state that it makes sense to discuss how to proceed. There are a couple of things that I'm not sure how to handle and I'm not entirely sure what is expected either. If it is okay with you we could use the North American site as an example implementation. The site isn't live yet and it might be nice to see something concrete?

jenningsdt commented 3 years ago

This sounds like a nice idea, @MortenHofft . Thanks on behalf of our team!

I've changed the data menu item to a dropdown with links to occurrence search as well as 3 versions of literature search (same ui, but different filters).

I'm not sure how I think these are best used. What is your thoughts?

Context My first concern is context. I find that some header or similar telling me what I look at would be useful. iI wasn't so much an issue when we had one search, but if we extend to literature and possibly datasets and publishers, then I think I would miss it. Could be as simple as a headline stating the content type similar to GBIF.org

one or two search pages My second concern would be that literature search is split in two. Which might be okay, but it is also a bit odd. But having them as one isn't an option currently as the API do not allow for showing papers that are either from or about north america. And even if we extended the API to allow that, then I'm not sure it would be easier to understand.

Thanks for adding this Morten! It's a really nice addition. Here are some thoughts from the GBIF North America Steering Group (it's not a full consensus so others may add more later):

  1. Overall it looks great and will be a great addition to the portal. We like the search features and the altmetric.
  2. We were confused about the "Literature all" option which is not scoped to the portal. We expect people would want to go to GBIF proper for this. We would opt to remove that option.
  3. Some of us didn't like the literature as a drop down on the Data tab and would prefer it as its own tab.

We are still thinking about your two concerns but don't have opinions on it just yet. We'll come back with more on those soon.

Thank you for this feature. It is quite useful, and I have just added it to our site. I agree with all three points brought up by Abby, though we haven't discussed these more widely. I will provide additional feedback once we have a committee in place.

MortenHofft commented 3 years ago

Thank you for your comments

The intention was never to have 3 menu items, but to show you the options we have available. Currently our options are:

Where those are located in the menu is completely up to you in your website.

albenson-usgs commented 3 years ago

That makes sense Morten. The GBIF-US portal will be launching on Friday. I'd like to get this added if possible. Is it ready to be added to other portals? Can you help me with how to do it?

MortenHofft commented 3 years ago

If this is to be public, then I would like to remove the Altmetric column first https://github.com/gbif/hosted-portals/issues/178#issuecomment-929180196

MortenHofft commented 3 years ago

And no I it isn't really ready to be added in production yet. The integration with the theme needs some work first, so the way it is added will change (which of course isn't ideal once it is live). But I can look to make it more stable. Adding it now would likely mean that it broke in the future.

albenson-usgs commented 3 years ago

Ok good to know. I'll hold off and wait to add it when it's in a production state. Thanks!

MortenHofft commented 3 years ago

Since there has been no real protests with how this work and @mbelisle and @albenson-usgs wants to add it to their sites, then I will consider this a good enough solution. Changing this at a later point is possible, but will likely require all participants using the literature widget to change the way they use this

Hi @albenson-usgs I've changed the way it is included now to a format that I'm more happy with going forward. Feel free to add it. You can see the 3 versions here https://github.com/gbif/hp-north-america/tree/master/literature Let me know if you need help
