In INSPIRE, processes automatically assign papers to author profiles based on ID and name-matching algorithms. Unfortunately, no system of name matching is perfect, and sometimes papers do not end up in the correct author profiles. INSPIRE now provides a tool that allows you to claim or remove authorship for the papers in your INSPIRE author profile. Claiming authorship for papers that are in another author’s profile is also possible.

Be sure to have your ORCID and INSPIRE author profile, then you’re on your way!

These 2 short, easy to follow, KB’s will guide you:

• Create an INSPIRE author profile
• Claiming authorship of a paper in your INSPIRE author profile

All your claimed papers will be exported to ORCID after you have enabled this in your author profile, see KB ‘Export your INSPIRE works to ORCID’.

If you have any questions or suggestions, drop us an email at authors@inspirehep.net.

Monday 28th June 2021 marks a milestone for INSPIRE.

After 10 years of successful operation, the old INSPIRE is switching off.

In March 2020, the new INSPIRE replaced the old user interface and on June 28th 2021 the old interface will be completely removed, as announced earlier in the year. This operation will allow the development team to focus on new features and to improve the quality of the INSPIRE metadata.

• More features are coming up, like fulltext search and claiming your own papers. 
• Citation counts may differ between the old and the new INSPIRE platform due to technical differences in the way citing and cited records are connected. Citation counts are more accurate on the new platform as we fixed several issues affecting the old system.
• You can find search tips in using the new INSPIRE here.

Feedback

During this transition period, please send new feature requests here. For any other request, you can contact us at <feedback@inspirehep.net>.

Have you ever updated your author profile and had to wait for the changes to be approved? This is no longer the case!

In the past, any edit in your author profile needed to be approved by the INSPIRE team for quality assurance purposes. With your ORCID login, you can now edit your profile and view the changes immediately. All edits are reviewed by the INSPIRE team and further updates might be necessary to ensure the content quality of the INSPIRE database.

Note that you can only edit the profile associated with your ORCID.

How it works

1. Login to INSPIRE

2. Go to your profile:

3. Click on the Edit button

4. Fill in the form and Submit

Your changes are immediately visible in your profile!

We are pleased to announce the release of HEP Experiments in the new INSPIRE platform:

https://inspirehep.net/experiments

This page allows users to search and view information about experiments in High-Energy Physics, list their collaboration members and explore related papers.

Following the recent release of INSPIRE seminars, we are continuously working on improving their integration with the INSPIRE content.

Author’s seminars

In addition to papers, the author profile is expanded to include the author’s seminars, under the “Seminars” tab.

Accessibility information

Information on the accessibility of an online seminar can now be specified in the seminar submission form. Submitters are invited to  add any supporting material and indicate whether captions are available.

While searching for seminars, users can filter seminars that correspond to these criteria.

Links to INSPIRE papers

When submitting a new seminar, users can fill in the link (URL) of a related INSPIRE paper. The seminar will then appear in the paper’s page.

Bibliography generator

Generate a LaTeX/BibTeX bibliography with the new bibliography generator tool:

https://inspirehep.net/bibliography-generator

You will find the tool in the footer, under ‘Tools’:

Search by reference

Following user feedback, search has been improved to enable users to search by references.

eg. Type Phys.Rept. 323 (2000) 183

Institution improvements

You are now able to see collaborations and subjects for papers of each institution:

We are happy to announce the release of the new INSPIRE REST API! 

Documentation: https://github.com/inspirehep/rest-api-doc

The highlights of the new API are:

• Access data from the search and detailed record pages programmatically
• JSON-based: in contrast to the API on the old INSPIRE, the new API uses JSON as primary data format, which is easy to use in a vast number of programming languages, and uses human-readable and well-documented fields.
• Other formats, like BibTeX or LaTeX, are directly available and don’t require extracting them from an HTML page

Old API

The old API on https://old.inspirehep.net/ will soon be deprecated. If you have been using the old API, please adapt your scripts accordingly. The instructions on how to use the new API are found here. 

Upcoming features

In the next few weeks, we plan to allow filtering the API response, so you can get only the part of the records you’re interested in. 

Feedback

The new API is in active development, so feel free to inform us in case of issues or suggestions by creating an issue or contacting us at <feedback@inspirehep.net>.

Self-citations

Self-citations are citations from the same collaboration or any of the authors of the paper being cited. Learn more.

The ‘Exclude self-citations’ option allows users to exclude these from the Citation Summary.

Author citations

The new ‘Cited by’ tab in the author profile allows you to browse through an author’s citations; i.e. papers that cited that author.

The results are similar to refersto a S.W.Hawking.1 searches.

HEPData links

INSPIRE papers that have data on HEPData display the respective link in the paper’s page.

Adapting to the increase of virtual seminars in the HEP community, we are happy to announce our new community-sourced seminar database.

Post and search for seminars around the world at:https://inspirehep.net/seminars

Features

• Past and future seminars can be searched for and filtered by series and subjects.

• Times are displayed in your timezone.
  

• Speakers and affiliations are linked to their INSPIRE pages.

How do I post a new seminar?

As the seminar database is populated and maintained by users, anyone with an ORCID can submit new entries:

1. Click on Submit > Seminar on the top right of the page.

2. Login with your ORCID to submit a new seminar.

3. The seminar appears immediately in the list of seminars.

The submitter is able to modify a seminar any time via the edit buttons that appear in the bottom of each entry.

Institutions

The new Institutions collection allows users to search for institutions in High Energy Physics. It features:

• Links from author affiliations to the institution’s page
• List of authors affiliated with the institution
• List of papers from the institution
• Citation summary of the papers from the institution

Display advisors

Author profiles now display names of their advisors.

First author search

First author search is now available by typing ‘fa’ before an author name, eg. fa einstein,a

Search with texkey

A popular request from the community has been to support searches using the texkey eg: Einstein:1916vd . This is now implemented, see the example here.
