详情介绍:

Scholar Sync helps universities, research labs, and academic departments publish and maintain scholarly work on their WordPress site. Set up a researcher's profile in a few clicks — publications and citation metrics are imported automatically and kept in sync without any manual effort. Display modes: Key features: Shortcode examples: Display a single researcher's publications: [scholar-sync-scholar id="42"] Hide the header and citation counts: [scholar-sync-scholar id="42" header="0" cited-by="0"] Display a group (a lab/faculty feed or a curated author directory): [scholar-sync-group id="12"] External services: This plugin communicates with the scholar-sync.org service to retrieve scholarly profile data (articles, citations, h-index) using the OpenAlex academic data source. Data sent to this service includes: the researcher's OpenAlex author ID (or name used to find the profile), your site ID (used to identify your installation), and the requested page/article range. No personal data of your site visitors is transmitted. The plugin itself does not restrict or gate any built-in functionality. All sync frequency and quota limits are enforced entirely by the scholar-sync.org service and communicated back to the plugin as service responses. This plugin also uses the Freemius licensing SDK to manage plan status and plugin updates. Freemius may receive your site URL, admin email, and WordPress/PHP environment details.

安装:

  1. Upload the scholar-sync folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, or install via the WordPress plugin screen.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Navigate to Scholars in the WordPress admin menu.
  4. Click Add New and enter a researcher's first and last name.
  5. Click "Add" on the relevant profile in the search results.
  6. The complete researcher profile with publication and co-authors will be created and previewed.
  7. Click to create a page or copy shortcode to any post, page, or widget.

屏幕截图:

  • Publications Feed — every paper listed with co-authors, citation counts, and one-click citations.
  • Live Preview & Customization — tweak display options for any researcher and get an instant, ready-to-use shortcode.
  • Add New Scholar — search by name and import a verified profile with publications already attached.
  • Sync History — a transparent log of every automatic and manual sync, so your data is always current.

升级注意事项:

1.0.3 Security and correctness fixes. Upgrade recommended. 1.0.2 Security and code-quality improvements. Upgrade recommended. 1.0.0 Initial release.

常见问题:

Can I add authors manually without using the sync service?

Yes. On the Add New screen, click Add Manually to enter an author's name, affiliations, thumbnail, and articles by hand. No limitation on the number of authors.

Can I display only certain authors as a group?

Yes. Create a group then add the authors you want to display: [scholar-sync-group id="31"]

Is there a limit on the number of researchers I can add?

No. You can create and manage an unlimited number of researcher profiles manually — there is no cap on the directory size. Manually created profiles are not subject to any limit.

Does the plugin store data locally?

Yes. All imported profile and article data is stored in your WordPress database, so the plugin continues to work even if the external service is temporarily unavailable.

Does Scholar Sync support WordPress Multisite network activation?

No. Activating Scholar Sync network-wide via the Network Admin will only set up the plugin on the main site. Each subsite must activate the plugin individually from its own admin dashboard. Network-wide ("activate for all sites") activation will cause the plugin to malfunction on all subsites except the main site.

Is Scholar Sync free to use?

Yes. All core features — syncing, manual authors and groups, and unlimited profiles — are free. Paid plans are available for higher sync frequency and request quotas; free-tier limits are enforced by the scholar-sync.org service and shown to you in the admin with a link to upgrade if you hit them.
