Publications
Member scholarship, synced from Zenodo, AfricArXiv and ORCID, or entered by hand.
For research organisations, the publication record is part of the membership record. Horbit keeps a publication list per tenant, attributed to members, and keeps it current by syncing from external sources rather than asking anyone to retype citations.

A publication is either published (visible) or hidden — hiding keeps the
record and its sync history while taking it off public surfaces, which is the
right move for a duplicate or a retracted item.
Sync runs
Syncing is a tracked job, not a fire-and-forget button. Each run records what it fetched and what changed, so an empty week is distinguishable from a broken credential.
Use cases
An annual report
The list is the raw material for a yearly output summary, already attributed to members and deduplicated across sources.
Keeping ORCID as the source of truth
Members who supply an ORCID identifier have their work picked up automatically — they maintain their record where they already maintain it, and the organisation's list follows.
