A database of scientific publications related to NASA's TESS mission.
tpub
is a mission-specific tool that enables NASA's TESS Guest Investigator
Office to keep track of its mission's scientific publications in an easy way.
It leverages SQLite and the ADS API
(using Andy Casey's awesome Python client)
to create and curate a database that contains the metadata
of mission-related articles. This is a fork of kpub which is used to track Kepler/K2 publications. kpub was written by Geert Barentsen
Print a nicely-formatted list of Kepler-related exoplanet publications in markdown format:
tpub --exoplanets
Add a new article to the database using its bibcode. This command will display the article's metadata and ask the user to classify the science:
tpub-add 2015arXiv150204715F
Remove an article using its bibcode:
tpub-delete 2015ApJ...800...46B
Search ADS interactively for new Kepler-related articles and try to add them:
tpub-update 2015-07
For example output, see the data/output/
sub-directory in this repository.
To install the latest version from source:
git clone https://github.com/tessgi/tpub.git
cd tpub
python setup.py install
Note that the tpub
tools will use ~/.tpub.db
as the default database file.
This repository contains a recent version
of the database file (data/tpub.db
),
which you may want to link to the default file as follows:
ln -s /path/to/git/repo/data/tpub.db ~/.tpub.db
The tpub-add
and tpub-update
tools that come with this package require
an api key from NASA ADS labs to retrieve publication meta-data.
You need to follow the installation instructions of the ads client by @andycasey to make this work.
tpub
adds a number of tools to the command line (described below).
There is a Makefile
which makes your life easy if you work
for the GI office and are updating the database.
Simply type:
make update
to search for new publications;make push
to push the updated database to the git repo;make refresh
to export and import all publications, this is slow and necessary only if you want to remove duplicates and fetch fresh citation statistics.
After installation, this package adds the following command-line tools to your path:
tpub
prints the list of publications in markdown format;tpub-update
adds new publications by searching ADS (interactive);tpub-add
adds a publication using its ADS bibcode;tpub-delete
deletes a publication using its ADS bibcode;tpub-import
imports bibcodes from a csv file;tpub-export
exports bibcodes to a csv file;tpub-plot
creates a visualization of the database;tpub-spreadsheet
exports the publications to an Excel spreadsheet.
Listed below are the usage instructions for each command:
tpub
$ tpub --help
usage: kpub [-h] [-f dbfile] [-e] [-a] [-k] [-2] [-m]
View the TESS publication list in markdown format.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f dbfile Location of the TESS publication list db. Defaults
to ~/.tpub.db.
-e, --exoplanets Only show exoplanet publications.
-a, --astrophysics Only show astrophysics publications.
-m, --month Group the papers by month rather than year.
kpub-update
$ tpub-update --help
usage: tpub-update [-h] [-f dbfile] [month]
Interactively query ADS for new publications.
positional arguments:
month Month to query, e.g. 2015-06.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f dbfile Location of the TESS publication list db. Defaults to
~/.tpub.db.
tpub-add
$ tpub-add --help
usage: tpub-add [-h] [-f dbfile] bibcode [bibcode ...]
Add a paper to the TESS publication list.
positional arguments:
bibcode ADS bibcode that identifies the publication.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f dbfile Location of the TESS publication list db. Defaults to
~/.tpub.db.
tpub-delete
$ tpub-delete --help
usage: tpub-delete [-h] [-f dbfile] bibcode [bibcode ...]
Deletes a paper from the TESS publication list.
positional arguments:
bibcode ADS bibcode that identifies the publication.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f dbfile Location of the TESS publication list db. Defaults to
~/.tpub.db.
kpub-import
$ tpub-import --help
usage: tpub-import [-h] [-f dbfile] csvfile
Batch-import papers into the TESS publication list from a CSV file. The
CSV file must have three columns (bibcode,mission,science) separated by
commas. For example: '2004ApJ...610.1199G,tess,astrophysics'.
positional arguments:
csvfile Filename of the csv file to ingest.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f dbfile Location of the TESS publication list db. Defaults to
~/.tpub.db.
tpub-export
$ tpub-export --help
usage: tpub-export [-h] [-f dbfile]
Export the TESS publication list in CSV format.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f dbfile Location of the TESS publication list db. Defaults to
~/.tpub.db.
tpub-spreadsheet
$ tpub-spreadsheet --help
usage: tpub-spreadsheet [-h] [-f dbfile]
Export the TESS publication list in XLS format.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-f dbfile Location of the TESS publication list db. Defaults to
~/.tpub.db.
kpub was created by Geert Barentsen (geert.barentsen at nasa.gov) on behalf of the Kepler/K2 Guest Observer Office.
tpub is a fork of kpub that creates a list of TESS publications, rather than Kepler/K2. The tpub fork was created by Tom Barclay (thomas.barclay at nasa.gov) on behalf of the TESS Guest Investigator Office.
This tool is made possible thanks to the efforts made by NASA ADS to provide a web API, and thanks to the excellent Python client that Andy Casey (@andycasey) wrote to use the API.
We also thank Geert cos he wrote nearly all the code here.
