Paper Picnic

A weekly basket with the latest published research in political science. On Fridays at 2 AM UTC, we query the Crossref API for new research articles that appeared in the previous 7 days across many journals in political science and adjacent fields. paper-picnic.com/

The crawler lives in the main branch of the backend while the website is rendered from the gh-pages branch.

After forking the repository, you need to make some changes to the repository settings for it to function properly.

1. Go to Settings > Actions > General. Scroll down to Workflow permissions and allow workflows to read and write in the repository.

2. Go to Security > Secrets and Variables > Actions. Set CROSSREF_EMAIL and OPENOPENAI_APIKEY in as a repository secret. The latter is used to query the OpenAI API while the former is to politely identify yourself to the Crossref API.
