Exporting Bibtex files for importing to the Network bibliography

LTER sites maintain records of their publications in different systems (Zotero, DEIMS, EndNote, custom databases), but everyone should be able to export a BibTex file. The LNO will accept files exported from non-Zotero systems as bibtex files and will handle de-duplication, aligning with DOI’s, and tagging, so that each publication is listed only once, but all associated sites are tagged.

Please name your file according to the following convention and send it to downs@nceas.ucsb.edu along with the date of the last network bibliography update: XXX-pubs-YYYY-MM where XXX=site acronym; YYYY=Year; and MM=numeric month in which the file was exported.
