Answer 1

Assuming that, in your HTML, each of your .publication div has one .publicaton-date div and one publication-name div, you can do something on the lines of:

$('.publication').each(function() {
    var yr = $(this).find('.publication-date').text().trim().split('/')[2];
    var name = $(this).find('.publication-name').text().trim().replace(/[_\W]+/g, "-");
    $(this).attr('data-filter', yr + ',' + name);
})

ie: Instead of looping through the .publication-date and .publication-name elements, loop through the .publication elements and find the date and year inside them.
