This position has been filled.

188BET靠谱吗The Zotero project is looking to hire a full-time, contract developer to help extend the Zotero ecosystem.At first you will work primarily on a specific new tool.188BET靠谱吗If all goes well, we'd hope and expect that you'd be interested in remaining a full-time paid member of the Zotero team longer term.

188BET靠谱吗Initially, you'll be designing and building a pluggable server-side tool to bridge the Zotero API and external services — think IFTTT for research data.You'll be building both the base program and one or more sample plugins to help guide the tool's development and serve as examples for other users of the tool.

188BET靠谱吗Beyond the initial contract, you would begin working on other parts of Zotero, with the ability to focus on the things that interested you.That might mean improving the client or website, extending the API, optimizing the cloud infrastructure, or building back-end services to power new features.As part of a small team, you'd have responsibility over core components of the project and the freedom to find creative solutions to challenging problems.Most importantly, you'd participate in a vibrant global open-source community with amazing community developers and passionate users.

188BET靠谱吗The Zotero development team meets periodically in person, but you'll primarily be working remotely, communicating with Zotero developers and users via chat rooms, forums, mailing lists, and GitHub.Our hours are flexible and variable: we might be debating a feature request at 1 p.m.or deploying a major upgrade at 1 a.m.

Requirements:

• Extensive experience with JavaScript, PHP, and/or Python
• Experience working with and/or developing web APIs (HTTP/REST/JSON)
• Experience with command-line Linux/Unix systems and services
• Comfort using version control (e.g., Git)
• Strong attention to privacy and security issues
• Willingness to participate in an open-source community

Bonus:

• Experience with open-source infrastructure software: MySQL, Memcached, Redis, Node.js, Elasticsearch, Hadoop, or other tools you use to solve difficult problems involving lots of data
• Experience with Amazon Web Services
• Experience building user-friendly front-end software used by many people or the back-end services powering it, or both

Please send a cover letter and résumé, including relevant programming projects and experience, to188BET靠谱吗jobs@zotero.orgwith subject line "Contract Developer".We will begin considering applications immediately and continue until the position is filled.Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.

We're excited to announce that the Alfred P.Sloan Foundation has awarded $360,000 to fund two years of research into altmetrics to be conducted at the University of Montreal, Indiana University, and George Mason University.188BET靠谱吗The Zotero project's first phase of participation will involve the aggregation and delivery of anonymized datasets to allow our research partners in Montreal and Bloomington to compare readership across a range of metrics, including commercial databases, social media, and reference management software.188BET靠谱吗This project's second phase is even more exciting: Zotero will put into production a preliminary public API that returns anonymous readership counts when fed universal identifiers (e.g.ISBN, DOI), enabling bibliometric research and integration into third-party apps.

Our partners at the University of Montreal, led by Vincent Larivière andStefanie Haustein, and at Indiana University, led byCassidy Sugimoto188BET靠谱吗, will analyze the readership data supplied by Zotero and provide feedback regarding its quality to help us refine our aggregation algorithm.The resulting research will improve our understanding of social media's value in scholarly communication and shed light on the actual meaning of various altmetric scoring systems.

We're delighted to announce that the Andrew W.188BET靠谱吗Mellon Foundation has awarded $440,000 to fund a two-year collaboration between Penn State and George Mason University to develop and assess new Zotero functionality for tracking, organizing, and archiving scholarly publications.

188BET靠谱吗Key new Zotero features will include:

• 188BET靠谱吗Feeds in the Zotero application.188BET靠谱吗Users will be able to add RSS and Atom feeds to track their favorite scholarly journals and easily grab new publications by simply dragging them to their Zotero libraries as desired.
• Integration with institutional repositories.188BET靠谱吗The Zotero team will work with the developers behind Penn State'sScholarSphere188BET靠谱吗institutional repository (IR) to allow Penn State faculty, students, and staff to deposit self-authored works directly into the IR from Zotero.188BET靠谱吗A pluggable architecture will enable other institutional repositories to establish similar connections with Zotero.

188BET靠谱吗The IR integration will rely on two key new Zotero technologies to be developed under this grant: a push-based API and a standalone service that connects Zotero to other web applications.188BET靠谱吗Working together, these two new features will enable a range of actions in third-party web services triggered by changes in Zotero libraries, much like anIFTTT188BET靠谱吗for Zotero.

The Penn State team will be led byEllysa Stern Cahoy, an education librarian who has already conducted extensive research into how faculty manage and archive scholarly communication.188BET靠谱吗She will build on her research to assess how this new Zotero functionality helps humanities scholars to refine their research practices.
