The list of publications related to the MUSES project is an important information source for the public to see the productivity of our scientific collaboration. Keeping this list current and comprehensive is the responsibility of the scientists in the collaboration. The MUSES web services include user-friendly tools that gives collaborators direct control over the publication list.

MUSES “collaboration site” is one of the “landing pages” associated with the project. It is bound to the physics.illinois.edu domain and represents the NSF award recipients and their 5-year funded program.
MUSES “community site” is the other “landing page” associated with the project that is the long-term home of the open source community we are building around MUSES. NCSA hosts it for now, but it is portable and could be transparently migrated to another institution as needed in the future.
One advantage is that we will have a collaborative, user-friendly way to manage the growing list of MUSES publications.
Another advantage is that when published this way, a publication is included in the RSS feed that is amenable to programmatic download of the information.
Open the Posts list. Copy the latest existing publication post. (If you do not have access to this editor, please contact Andrew @andrew.manning or Roland @rhaas .)
Compose the Excerpt using the following pattern, where the Abstract is a short “teaser” with ellipses. This is important, because this is the content that is actually parsed to populate the collaboration site publication list.
Date: Month DD, YYYY
Title: Title of paper
Authors: Author One, Author Two, ...
Abstract: We calculate an equation of state with super amazing simulations that include hyperdimensional...
Thanks for the detailed instructions, Andrew. I have updated the constraints paper on the website.
I have one request. Currently, it is hard to distinguish between the title, abstract, and date of publication in the published post. Can you highlight these items for better visibility, for example, using bold text?
Apparently there were 500 plugin and theme updates to apply, so at least this catalyzed that maintenance.
Also something seems to have screwed up the formatting of the page. It did not look this bad months ago I’ll see if it has something to do with a theme update.
It looks a little better than it did before after I set it to “show entire post contents”, but I don’t particularly like the overal page formatting and colors.
See what you can do on your own. As Editor you should have all the permissions you need to do stuff like that. If I was more of a WordPress expert I could direct you, but you can search online for instructions as well as I can!
What we really should do at some point is convert the site from using the Highlight theme to the Divi plugin that I purchased a while back, but this is not a one-click operation. Since we already have the content (text and images) and general layout, rebuilding it from scratch using the superior Divi editor might not be too time consuming.
