BibMedEd v0.1.0 — initial public release

First tagged release of BibMedEd, an open-source bibliometric analysis platform for medical-education research.

What ships in 0.1.0

• Multi-database search — PubMed (NCBI E-utilities) and OpenAlex adapters, with cross-source deduplication on DOI / PMID.
• Six analysis modules — publications over time, author productivity, country distribution, keyword co-occurrence, citation impact, journal ranking.
• Interactive visualisations — D3.js co-authorship and keyword networks, force-directed and zoomable.
• Reproducible methodology log — every pipeline step is recorded and exportable as a citable plain-text file for PRISMA Methods sections.
• Standard exports — .RIS (Zotero / EndNote), .CSV, and the methodology log.
• One-command self-host — docker compose up brings up FastAPI, Celery workers, Postgres, Redis, and the Next.js frontend.
• One-click cloud deploy — Render.com Blueprint for the free tier.

Extensibility

A new bibliographic source is one Python file (~50 lines). See the adapter guide. Nine adapter starter issues are open and ready to claim (#6–#14).

Project infrastructure

• CI on every PR (Python 3.12 + 3.13 backend, Next.js frontend build, Docker smoke, MkDocs --strict).
• Issue and PR templates, Code of Conduct, security policy, public roadmap.
• CITATION.cff and .zenodo.json so this release can be archived with a DOI (enable Zenodo↔GitHub on the repo to mint one).
• JOSS paper draft at paper.md / paper.bib.

Contributing

The fastest path to a merged PR is writing a new source adapter — see GOOD_FIRST_ISSUES.md. Twelve starter issues are labelled good first issue.
