PUBLICATION
Infinity Publication Module helps users to display their publications.
This module will retrieve the publications if they are listed in the KAUST Repository (and retrieves only users in @kaust domain)
https://repository.kaust.edu.sa/
If the user has publications while affiliated with KAUST, he/she needs to contact the Library team and ask for adding.
Usually, this process is automatic from the Library. However, if any of your publications is missing please get in touch with Library to add it to the repository.
Infinity will retrieve the user publications using an API developed by the Library and populate them in the My Publications tab.
