• How do I show my publications from MathSciNet on my “bio” publications list?

  If you want to update your Publications list from MathSciNet by
  redownloading a list from MathSciNet, here’s how:

  1. Go to MathSciNet (the Resources page on the web site links to Rice’s mirror, which is quite fast).
  2. Search for yourself in the “Author” search box and hit return.
  3. It will give you a list of papers, some of which will be by you. Find a paper with your name and click on your name. Ensure that the list of papers is really by you.
  4. In the upper left of the page, beside “Batch Download:” choose “Citations (BibTeX)”.
  5. If you have 50 or fewer publications, hit “Retrieve First 50″ to the right of “Batch Download:”. If you have more than 50 publications, then one will have to mark the checkbox besides all the publications and then click “Retrieve Marked”.
  6. Copy all the data in the typewriter font to a file; I’d name it username.bib.
  7. On one the Solaris math servers (ie bessel), run this command in a terminal window:
     /opt/csw/bin/bibtex2html -nobibsource -nodoc -noheader -nofooter -q username.bib
     This will create username.html.
  8. If all your papers are in MathSciNet, copy username.html to
     ~/WWWbio/Publications/index
     Otherwise you can use username.html as the start of a more extensive web page of publications.
  9. If you want to indicate that the publications are from MathSciNet as of a certain date, then add a line like the following example to the top of the file named index:
     <h2>Papers listed in Math Reviews as of December 8, 2008</h2>
