Using the Paper Editor
Contents
Accessing the Editor
The paper editor is accessible either from the curation index page (click on the second link, paper_editor.cgi): http://tazendra.caltech.edu/~azurebrd/cgi-bin/index.cgi
or directly at: http://tazendra.caltech.edu/~postgres/cgi-bin/paper_editor.cgi
If you don't have the password to access these forms on tazendra, you can get it from Juancarlos.
Might be helpful to reorganize the index page, to put all of the paper-related forms together. We could keep the link to the old editor, but make a note on the index page that this is the old editor.
Signing In
Before performing any actions with the paper editor, select your name from the drop-down list of curators at the top of the page.
Entering New Papers
There are several different ways to add papers to postgres and hence, Textpresso and WormBase, but in general, there are two types of papers: those indexed by PubMed and those not indexed by PubMed. The former constitute the majority of published articles that we have in our paper collection, while the latter includes articles and books not currently indexed by PubMed as well as meeting abstracts and Worm Breeder's Gazette articles. Below is an explanation of how to enter papers for each source.
Approving PubMed-Indexed Papers from Daily 'elegans' Keyword Search
- From the front page of the editor, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the link Enter New Papers.
- This will bring you to a page that is divided into three parts:
- Top section - for entering papers with a PMID that were not picked up by the 'elegans' keyword search.
- Middle section - for entering papers that do not have a PMID.
- Bottom section - this is the largest section and contains information about the papers that were returned from the daily 'elegans' keyword search. Information about the paper includes: PMID, Author(s), Title, Abtract (if available), Paper Type, and Journal. At the far right side of the page is the Flags box for recording the action taken on each paper in the list.
Entering Other PubMed Papers
From the front page of the editor, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the link Enter New Papers.
