pyademic

pyademic is a Python library designed to simplify the process of building and deploying academic websites and portfolios. It aims to provide a user-friendly interface for researchers, students, and academics to showcase their work, publications, projects, and other professional information online. The library offers tools for generating static websites, which are often favored for their speed, security, and ease of hosting.

The core functionality of pyademic revolves around creating content using Markdown or other simple text formats, and then transforming this content into a structured website. This approach allows users to focus on their academic material without needing extensive web development knowledge. Features typically include templates for displaying CVs, publications lists with citation management, project descriptions, and personal biographies.

pyademic also often includes features for integrating with common academic platforms and services, such as ORCID for author identification and DOI resolvers for linking publications. Deployment is generally straightforward, with options for hosting on platforms like GitHub Pages, Netlify, or custom web servers. The library encourages a reproducible research workflow by keeping website content and structure in version-controlled repositories. While not a full-fledged content management system, pyademic serves as a specialized tool for the academic community to establish a professional online presence.
