Repository files navigation

This repository contains an annotated bibliography of literature related to estimation in visualization. The literature is organized into categories and sorted by date of publication within categories. A short summary, and notes about how the work relates to - and is interesting or important to - our particular interests is followed by a citation in IEEE format. The author and year are emphasized for easy lookup and the DOI links are provided.

Generating the Annotated Bibliography

The annotated bibliography is automatically compiled using pandoc and mdBook from Markdown and BibTex files. I use a Zotero collection to organize the works and export them to BibTex. The CSL file ieee.csl defines the IEEE citation style using citation style language and is modified to include the full bibliographic citation in text. The YAML file mdbook.yml is a GitHub Actions file that builds and deploys the annotated bibliography as an mdBook on the web. The file book.toml contains the metadata for mdBook and src/SUMMARY.md contains organizes the Markdown files for the mdBook page.

Adding and Modifying the Bibliography

A good process for modifying the bibliography would be as follows. Clone the repository and load the existing works into a Zotero collection using the BibTex file. Add any additional works to the Zotero collection. Export the Zotero collection to BibTex to generate Tables.bib. Add notes to the .md files and use the format [@cite] to cite a work from the BibTex file. Push the changes to the BibTex and Markdown files to the repository and the updates will be automatically built and deployed.
