Publications are limited to Groups and cannot be created outside of that context.



This content type is meant to feature academic publications produced by researchers, including books, reports, white papers, and more.

A couple of things to note before starting:

  1. There is only a list view of publications. There are no individual publication pages or links available to individual publications. See this page for an example of how publications are displayed.

  2. The Preview functionality for publications does not accurately reflect how they will appear in the list. We do plan to address this in the future. For now, publish and review your content in the publications list.

  3. Please submit a ticket to request that the publication view be added to your Group site.


Please Note:
External news articles or media mentions are not meant to be added here. Instead, use the Article or Media Mention content type.


Create a Publication

Starting within your Group:

  1. From your Group's Content tab
  2. Select the + Add New Content button
  3. Select Group node (Publication)
    • Note: The External Authors content type, referenced below, is added similarly.
  4. Enter the necessary content. Required fields are denoted with a red asterisk* in Drupal.

Most of the Publication Content Type fields will be familiar or easy to navigate on your own. These include:

  • Title
  • Department / Center Affiliations: Start typing the Center name, then select it from the dropdown.
    This field only includes Centers and Institutes if their site is in our Drupal.
  • Authors: Start typing the name of the faculty and then select their name from the dropdown.
    If the author you're looking for is not a BSPH faculty member, you must add them first using the External Authors content type.
  • URL: This must be an external URL such as https://example.com.
  • Publication Type: Select the appropriate publication type from the dropdown. 
  • Summary: Description or abstract
  • Related Content: Additional links related to the content, such as web pages or PDFs (Preferably as a list). 
  • Image: Usually, an image of the front page of the publication. Recommended dimension: 425x550.
  • Topics: You can select up to 5 topics from our pre-defined list of topics.
  • Tags: You can select up to 5 keywords or enter your own.


Additional fields include:

  • Publish Date
  • Name of Journal/Publication
