Account Import / Export

Import and export your complete list structure. For single list operations, use the edit page for individual lists.

🌐 Why JSON-LD?

JSON-LD (Linked Data) captures the full semantic richness of your academic collections. Unlike basic JSON, it preserves publication metadata, author relationships, DOIs, institutional affiliations, and other scholarly context using standardized Schema.org vocabulary. This enables seamless integration with research tools, institutional repositories, and the broader academic web.

📋 List Structure Export

💡 JSON-LD is recommended for preserving the full semantic richness of your academic lists. It includes proper Schema.org vocabulary for publications, authors, DOIs, and academic metadata. Use this format for long-term preservation, academic collaboration, and interoperability with research tools.

🌐 List Structure Import

Import lists from JSON-LD (recommended for academic collections) or JSON format. JSON-LD preserves semantic structure, publication metadata, author information, and DOIs. You can choose to replace your existing lists or add imported lists as orphaned lists at the root level.

Add as orphaned lists (recommended - review before connecting)
Replace all existing lists (⚠️ destructive - backup first!)

🎯 Academic Interoperability: JSON-LD format allows seamless exchange with Zotero, ORCID, institutional repositories, and other research tools that support Schema.org vocabulary.

📚 BibTeX Import

Import references from Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, etc. BibTeX entries will be added to your account as orphaned publications for review before organizing into lists.

Note: For single publication imports with immediate list placement, use the individual list editing interface.

🌐 Linktree Import

Import your link collection from a Linktree profile. Enter the Linktree username (the part after linktree.com/) to import all publicly visible links. Linktree collections will be created as sublists within the main imported list.

Linktree Username:

🎓 Academic Import: For curated academic content, you can import JSON data directly:

Note: Only publicly visible links can be imported. Content will be imported as a single organized list with section headers. Curators can later publish the list or individual sections as collections.

Example: For linktree.com/johndoe, enter johndoe
