The revision history is available by going to a publication page and clicking on "History" in the top right.
To add a new publication, go to https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/publications/add. To edit an existing publication, go to the page belonging to the publication and click on the "Edit" button in the top right. This will bring you to a web form were bibliographical information of the publication can be added or updated. In general, the following fields should be filled in if possible:
The following fields are particularly relevant for books:
For a single volume of a multi-volume book which itself is contained in a book series, use Book Title and Volume for the multi-volume book, and Series and Number for the book series.
For titled chapters, use Title for the title of the chapter and Book Title for the title of the encompassing book. Optionally, Chapter can be used for the chapter number, and Pages for the page range.
The following fields are particularly relevant for journal articles:
To add or edit publications in bulk, you can upload a CSV or BibTeX file at https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/publications/upload.
You can upload a CSV (spreadsheet) file. They are in the same format as the files that can be downloaded from the publication search results. As an example, you can download the following file: https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/publications?from=2022&limit=10&format=csv.
You can also upload a BibTeX file. Make sure that the
names in the author
, editor
, and journal
field exactly match those in the CDLI database.
You can check https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/authors for author and editor names, and
https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/journals for journal names. If an author or a journal is missing,
please contact a site administrator. A designation can be added using the non-standard designation
field.
To merge duplicate publications, go to https://cdli.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/publications/merge?step=select and perform a search. Then, select exactly which publications you want to merge, and which publication is the merge target (the other publications will be deleted in favour of the merge target). You will then be prompted to update the artifacts that were linked to these publications, and optionally to edit the bibliographical information of the merge target.
