legpub (LEGacy PUBlications)

legpub takes a file containing one or more Bibtex records and creates a pseudo-Bibtex record in the repository holding area. That record is then published.

legpub does this by simulating the submission process normally done manually by a publication author. As each entry in the holding area is published (by legpub, using pub), the administrator will receive notification by email.

Usage

legpub bibtex_filename

Example

legpub foo.bib

Notes

legpub works by matching fieldnames in each Bibtex record it finds with fieldnames it knows about. Any other fields, with non-standard field names will therefore be dropped. This also means that field names should be spelt correctly!
legpub is passed no information about associated authors or research groups, so these have to be added manually, once the record in the holding area has been successfully submitted. pl comes in handy for this.
Also, legpub is passed no information about filenames of abstracts or reports. These files can be placed into the appropriate publication directory by hand and then bpp can be run to regenerate the publication's web page so it contains the abstract and/or a link to the report content.
