New Wikipedia parser – create a collection based on the references retrievable from Wikipedia for your chosen search value
Improved collection upload – specify collection information, then view upload tickets to see progress and errors
‘Retry’ and other options on particular collection creation attempts are also now available from the tickets page
Filter search results by a value range as well as specific values
Visualise any filter as a bubble chart and select the values you want to search with
Add / remove available filters and rename filter display names
Improved layout of record info in search results, including auto-display of the first image referenced in a record – e.g. if there is a link to an image in your record, it is displayed in the search result
Collection admin available – save your current display settings as the default for your collection, allow other users to have admin rights on your own collection
Share any specific searches by providing the URL displayed under the ‘share’ option
Embed – as the whole front-end of search and collection visualisation is handled by facetview it is possible to embed your collection search in any web page you control; the share / embed option on collection pages provides the code you need to insert to enable this
Download as BibJSON – a nice new obvious button on each collection provides a link to download your collection as BibJSON
Improved display of individual records, including search options to discover relevant content online
EXPERIMENTAL record editing – this has been enabled although still in progress – you can edit the content of a record using a visual display of the keys and values in the record, although functionality for adding new keys does not yet work. However, you can also edit the JSON directly via the options, and try saving that. Be aware – this could damage your records, and of course changes the details from whatever they were in the source content.
These ones are not yet available on BibSoup but watch this space:
