maybe your input CSV contains an empty row at the end? I tested that and it throws exactly the error you saw. Thanks for catching it!

We indeed thought of parsing citations, but gave up on that because we actually found it to be pretty complex. That would be another project.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “facpublister.py”, line 189, in main
if ‘Publication List’ in row[0]:
IndexError: list index out of range

I’m not sure why the for loop doesn’t stop. I’m not a python programmer, so maybe I didn’t do something right, but before line 189, I added the following to make it work:

if len(row) == 0:
break

Anyway, nice job. The result is pretty neat.

Have you thought of perhaps parsing citations from publication lists and running them through a search engine? That could be pretty powerful.
