Zhen Li Academic Homepage

This is a bilingual static academic homepage designed for GitHub Pages.

It supports:

• English / Chinese language switching.
• Automatically generated publication metadata.
• Weekly publication updates through GitHub Actions.
• Classification by journal, conference, preprint, and selected work.
• DOI / DBLP / OpenAlex / Google Scholar links for publication discovery.
• Citation metrics including total citations, h-index, and i10-index when indexed records are available.
• A dynamic CV page generated from the same homepage data: cv.html.
• Education, research areas, grouped publications, and contact sections.

Data Sources

The automated updater uses:

• ORCID: 0000-0002-7947-9004
• DBLP: Zhen Li_0076, resolved as https://dblp.org/pid/74/2397-76.html
• Google Scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=4eH9QNMAAAAJ&hl=zh-CN&oi=ao
• Crossref DOI metadata
• OpenAlex citation counts
• Curated overrides in data/manual_publications.json

data/manual_publications.json is intentionally kept as an override layer only. It can refine keywords, selected-paper flags, DOI links, and venue names for records already found through DBLP / ORCID / Google Scholar. It should not be used to add local unfinished manuscripts to the public publication list.

Google Scholar does not provide a stable public API. The updater attempts to parse the public profile page on a best-effort basis; DBLP, ORCID, Crossref, and OpenAlex remain the more stable metadata sources.

GitHub Pages Deployment

Upload the contents of this folder to a GitHub repository. Then:

1. Open the repository on GitHub.
2. Go to Settings -> Pages.
3. Set Build and deployment -> Source to GitHub Actions.
4. Push to the main branch.
5. The workflow .github/workflows/pages.yml will publish the site.

The workflow .github/workflows/update-publications.yml runs every Monday at 00:00 UTC, which is 08:00 in China, and can also be started manually from the Actions tab.

Manual Update

On GitHub Actions, the script runs with Python automatically:

python scripts/update_publications.py

If Python is available locally, the same command can be run from the homepage folder.
