Add Publication

In order to add your new publication you need to edit the file _data/publications.yml. Both the English and Japanese publication pages are generated from this shared data file, so do not edit publications/index.md or ja/publications/index.md for normal publication updates.

Firstly make sure your local main branch is up to date:

$ git checkout main
$ git pull origin main

Then create a new branch (do not make changes directly on main). To branch use the commands git branch <name> and git checkout <name>.

Name the branch as short-publication-title. For example:

$ git branch future-egt
$ git checkout future-egt

Uploading Paper

Once you are on your new branch add a copy of your paper in the folder publications/papers. There is no convention regarding naming the pdf file, however, try to use sensible names and avoid abstract names such as main.pdf or mypaper.pdf. Also avoid spaces and use _ instead.

Once you have copied your paper in the folder you are ready to edit _data/publications.yml.

Listing your Paper on the Website

Edit the appropriate year in _data/publications.yml. Each entry has this format:

- authors: Glynatsi, N. E., Hilbe, C., & Murase, Y.
  year: 2025
  title: Exact conditions for evolutionary stability in indirect reciprocity under noise
  url: https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1013584
  journal: PLOS Computational Biology

The convention is the following:

- authors: Author, A., Collaborator, B., & Researcher, C.
  year: publication year
  title: Title of the paper
  url: link to paper
  journal: Journal Name

This means:

• the authors come first
• the year is stored as a number
• the paper title is stored without Markdown formatting
• the paper URL is stored in url
• the journal name is stored without Markdown formatting
• the page template handles the display formatting for both languages

If you add a local PDF, add a pdf line using a path from the repository root:

  pdf: publications/papers/<your paper>.pdf

Once you have made all the necessary changes you can review them locally by compile the website.

When you are ready you need to git add the files you have changed/added, then to git commit and finally push your branch to GitHub:

$ git push -u origin short-publication-title

Your branch should then appear on GitHub. Open a pull request from your branch into main.
