Hello everybody,

we are currently searching for an institutional repository and I have a hard time finding information about exporting items from DSpace. We would need to export references in APA style from time to time. However a doable alternative (.bib --> convert) would be possible.

I found this ticket regarding this issue which is closed as "Won't work".
https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1224

and this export-documentation which is only for "DSpace simple archive".
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Importing+and+Exporting+Items+via+Simple+Archive+Format

Now I guess that I am not technically proficient enough in this area. Is there a way in DSpace to export references?

I appreciate any help on this topic.

Best regards
Justus

It seems that there have been several attempts, but nothing has been accepted into the stock code yet.  https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1493 is available for JSPUI (DSpace offers two different GUIs) and https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2471 also addresses this need.  I've done something locally to export a variety of bibliographic formats in XMLUI (the other GUI) but it's unpublished at the moment.

So, if you want this feature out-of-the-box, I don't think DSpace has that yet.  You may want to take a look at batch metadata export:  https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Batch+Metadata+Editing
which might give you a form that you could readily convert.

This feature is currently available out-of-box in DSpace-CRIS https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACECRIS/ an open source extension of DSpace.
It allows export in several formats (extendible) from the item page or from the browse / search.
It supports extended configuration to map the local metadata to the different format and eventually normalize/transform the metadata (i.e. abbreviate the authors names, extract the publication year only, etc.)
A basic configuration for bibtex, ris and other format is providden. Unfortunately, I don't remember about presentations or other dedicated documentation materials.
The best place to start is probably the default configuration
https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x_x-cris/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L757
https://github.com/4Science/DSpace/blob/dspace-5_x_x-cris/dspace/config/crosswalks/bibtex.template
Hope this help,
Andrea

Thank you very much for the response. I will look into the DSpace-CRIS version. It looks promising.
