Announcements, news, messages from the researchr team.
Previously researchr supported 'tag cloud' views for bibliographies providing a quick overview of the important and less important topics in a set of publications collected in a bibliography. Similarly, an 'author cloud' gives an overview of the authors of a bibliograpy, emphasizing authors with many papers.
Now clouds are not just provided for tags and authors, but also for year, publication type, and publication venue.
Furthermore, cloud views are provided for all 'publication lists' in researchr: author profile, alias page (publications authored by author with same name), bibliography, tag, and also for the publications of the editions of a conference. The latter provides a nice overview of the community and topics of a conference series.

Researchr search has been vastly improved and is now case insensitive. Boolean search operators are supported as well. The interface specializes to the category you are searching in such that a refined search by default will search for the same category.

Researchr now supports sending of messages to users and user groups. You find a link to your inbox in the application menu bar (which should indicate if you have any messages). Messages can be sent to multiple individuals and/or groups. For individuals use their 'profilename' (the name that is used in the URL of the profile, and listed in the sidebar). User profiles and group pages also have a button that you can use to send a message.
Group messages can be used to discuss work on the bibliographies of the group, or to send announcements about activities of the group. For example, you can create a group for a conference you are organizing and invite all authors that are active in your field of interest. Group moderators can regulate who can send messages to the group members (any users, members of the group, or just moderators) using the 'Settings' tab of the group page.
To provide feedback about the system, you can now send a message to the Support Group, as is indicated on the Feedback page.

Researchr now supports including the list of publications in your profile on your own website. To download a html page with just the list of publications use the following URL
http://researchr.org/profileembed/<profilename>/publications
Example, http://researchr.org/profileembed/eelcovisser/publications
To restrict the list to publications with a particular tag, use the following URL:
http://researchr.org/profileembed/<profilename>/publications/<tag>
Example: http://researchr.org/profileembed/eelcovisser/publications/webdsl
Let us know if there is interest in other forms of include widgets.

Get an overview of the publications in a bibliography by studying its author and tag clouds, which are now automatically generated for each bibliography. (You may want to refresh the cloud once in a while using the Refresh button at the bottom of the Publications tab.) For an example see the cloud for the Stratego/XT Bibliography.
In the future such clouds will also be generated for other lists, in particular an authors personal publication list.
