Enhancing Research Visibility with SPIRES: A Collaborative Database for HEP Papers

The SPIRES database, initiated in 1968 at SLAC, serves as a critical resource for high-energy physics (HEP) research. It tracks citations, archives preprints, and offers a collaborative platform for contributing labs such as SLAC, Fermilab, and DESY. With over 600k records and 1M searches monthly, SPIRES provides effortless access to published papers and simplifies report generation for institutions. Moreover, its integration with OSTI allows for efficient data harvesting and automatic updates, ensuring high visibility for research outputs.

  1. eHarvesting using SPIRES Heath O’Connell/Travis Brooks Fermilab/SLAC http://library.fnal.gov http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  2. The SPIRES Database: History • Started in 1968 at SLAC to record HEP preprints. • Searchable by author, title, report number, … • Tracks number of citations to articles • From 1974 DESY added published articles. • Matched them with the preprints. • 1985: database is searchable by email. • 1991: database is first website in U.S. Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  3. The SPIRES Database: Today • 2005: 600k records, 1M searches/month, five labs contributing data. • Partnership between SLAC, Fermilab, and DESY. • Other contributions from JLab, Kyoto U., KEK, Durham U., IHEP (Moscow), and physicists around the world • Primarily used by HEP and other scientists Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  4. Fermilab and SPIRES • All Fermilab documents are placed in SPIRES. • Makes them easy to find. • Makes it easy to prepare reports for the directorate. • http://www.slac.stanford.edu/spires Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  5. Published Experimental Papers Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  6. Generating XML for OSTI • SPIRES can produce output in any desired format. • This includes OSTI XML. • OSTI can harvest data, simply by sending a search over the web to SPIRES. Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  7. XML Example <rec> <accession_num>6137563</accession_num> <title>Revolutions and revelations</title> <author>Quigg, Chris; /Fermilab;</author> <subj_category>72 PHYSICS OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES AND FIELDS</subj_category> <subj_keywords>Phenomenology-HEP, Theory-HEP</subj_keywords> ….. Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  8. Advantages to OSTI • OSTI automatically gets any updates to the record, such as publication note. • A standard place to retrieve reports from multiple labs: Fermilab, SLAC, JLab? (mostly HEP/Nucl) • With a Standard XML format Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  9. Advantages to Lab • SPIRES collaborative effort allows one to find papers that authors have not submitted to Tech Pubs Office (“leaks”). • Other Labs contribute to enhancement of your records: Journal information, experiments, conferences, etc. • No need to develop a new system for eharvest. • SPIRES ensures high visibility for your papers. Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  10. Problems with Duplicates • When OSTI harvests from SPIRES (or any site) it can build up duplicates at OSTI’s site. • One might wish to narrow harvest only to new documents (easy to do in SPIRES). • Alternatively, pre-existing OSTI docs could be tagged in SPIRES. Heath O'Connell - Fermilab

  11. Summary • SPIRES offers an easy way to make your labs’ papers highly visible. • Makes it simple to find “leaks”. • Enables you to quickly generate Publications reports for your Directorate. • Gives you a straightforward way to set up eharvesting with OSTI. Heath O'Connell - Fermilab
