I really appreciate Dan Quintana for his walkthrough on getting an Academic themed website up and running: https://www.dsquintana.blog/free-website-in-r-easy/
Thank you to Peter Paul Pichler for his script http://www.pik-potsdam.de/~pichler/blog/ adapated from Lorenzo Busetto’s original script to import publication data from bibtex files (I use Zotero, but other citation software should work fine).
