Adding a Publication

Publications appear on the Publications page (/publication/). Each publication has its own folder containing a BibTeX file and an index.md.

Where the files live

content/publication/
└── firstauthor-shorttitle-year/
    ├── index.md
    └── cite.bib

Use a descriptive slug for the folder name — the convention in this repo is firstauthor-keyword-year (e.g. mcbride-resource-competition-2021). Keep it lowercase and hyphenated.

Step-by-step

  1. Create a new folder inside content/publication/.
  2. Add cite.bib with the BibTeX entry.
  3. Add index.md with the front matter below.

Template

cite.bib

  volume={10},

Common mistakes

  • Missing cite.bib — both files are required. The BibTeX file is used by the "Cite" button on the publication page.
  • Authors as slugs — unlike blog posts, publication authors are plain name strings, not slugs from content/authors/. Write the full name as it should appear.
  • Wrong date format — use the full ISO 8601 format including time: "2026-06-01T00:00:00Z".
