BibTex Improvements

[djbrooke]

• Clicking "BibTex" under "Citation Type" downloads a .bib file. Instead of downloading a .bib file, we should open a new browser tab with the BibTex citation.
• In a BibTex citation, we should include all of the information that's shown in the Dataverse citation. Currently, UNF and version are left out of BibTex.

Example: https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/QSZMPD

Two questions about the first bullet point?

• why is a new tab preferable over downloading a file? If a user is going to import it into a reference manager (which I'm relatively sure is the usual case), they'll need to download a file: so "new tab" -> "download" vs "download" is an extra step?
• is there / should there be an API endpoint (or content-negotation) for downloading the citation?

Hi Danny, Can you add a few words about why it should work differently/where this idea/proposal/requirement came from? Thanks! - Tania

This is a request from Gary. Other applications (Google Scholar) provide the .bib in a new tab and this preferable.

To the second point about including more info in the bibtex, these fields aren't showing up when importing citation into latex using standard bibtex setups:

• UNF
• Version
• Publisher

UNF and version number aren't being exported at all.
The repository name is in the publisher field but seems to be ignored.

Exported bibtex from dataset @djbrooke linked to in Harvard Dataverse:

@data{QSZMPD_2017,
author = {King, Gary and Pan, Jennifer and Roberts, Margaret E.},
publisher = {Harvard Dataverse},
title = {Replication data for: How the Chinese Government Fabricates Social Media Posts for Strategic Distraction, not Engaged Argument},
year = {2017},
doi = {10.7910/DVN/QSZMPD},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.7910/DVN/QSZMPD}
}

Please also remove the abstract field. it is a nice bit of metadata, but it is never used as part of a citation and just fills up your bibtex file with a lot of extra text.

these tickets should be attached to some planned release with a date. this is an old ticket.

I moved this to the "Ready" column so that we can get this estimated in sprint planning next week. This one fell through the cracks, my fault.

@thegaryking - I'll stop by to learn more about your thoughts on the release planning process.
