conference-authors
Scrape conference paper author info (name, affiliation, ORCID, career stage) with zero setup — no Docker, no API keys.
What's Inside
Skills3
enrich-authors
/enrich-authors
Given papers (DOI and/or title), fetch free OpenAlex/Crossref metadata for ORCID and current affiliation, and infer each author's career stage. Use as the cheap first pass before reading any PDF.
extract-paper-authors
/extract-paper-authors
Read a paper PDF (path or URL) and return its ordered authors with full names, affiliations, country, and email. Use when affiliations are missing from metadata or when the user asks who wrote a paper and where they work.
scrape-conference
/scrape-conference
Scrape a conference's paper author info (name, affiliation, ORCID, career stage) into a CSV. Use when the user wants author/affiliation data for a conference, gives a program/proceedings URL, or names a venue+year.
README
conference-authors
Scrape a conference's paper authors — names, affiliations, ORCID, career stage — straight into a spreadsheet. No setup: no Docker, no API keys, no proxy.
Install (Claude Code — CLI / desktop / IDE)
Plugins are a Claude Code feature, not the claude.ai web chat.
From GitHub (any device / account):
/plugin marketplace add <owner>/<repo>
/plugin install conference-authors@conference-authors
From a local copy of this repo:
/plugin marketplace add /path/to/conference-authors
/plugin install conference-authors@conference-authors
Verify with /plugin (Installed tab) or /help (lists /conference-authors:scrape-conference).
Runtime needs only python3 (scripts are standard-library only — nothing to pip install).
Use
Just ask, e.g.:
- "scrape Interspeech 2023 author info"
- "get author affiliations for https://aclanthology.org/events/acl-2024/"
Claude finds the papers, pulls free metadata, reads PDFs only where needed, and
writes ./conference-authors-data/<venue>_<year>/authors.csv in your current
folder (plus a summary.md with coverage stats).
What you get (authors.csv)
paper_title, position, full_name, affiliation, country, orcid, career_stage, email, source
Notes
- First pass is free (OpenAlex/Crossref). PDFs are read only for papers missing an affiliation; for big venues Claude asks before that step.
- Runs are resumable — re-ask the same thing to continue an interrupted scrape.
- New conference site? Claude inspects the page and learns it automatically.
