- GitHub: Source code repository
This is an add-on for Zotero, a research source management tool. The add-on can auto-fetch citation counts for journal articles using various APIs, including Crossref, INSPIRE-HEP, and Semantic Scholar. Google Scholar is not supported because automated access is against its terms of service.
Please report any bugs, questions, or feature requests in the Github repository.
- Autoretrieve citation counts when a new item is added to your Zotero library.
- Retrieve citation counts manually by right-clicking on one or more items in your Zotero library.
- Works with the following APIs: Crossref, INSPIRE-HEP and Semantic Scholar.
- NEW: The plugin is compatible with Zotero 7 (Zotero 6 is NOT supported!).
- NEW: The plugin registers a custom column ("Citation Counts") in your Zotero library so that items can be ordered by citation count.
- NEW: Improved citation count retrieval operation status reporting, including item-specific error messages for those items where a citation count couldn't be retrieved.
- NEW: Concurrent citation count retrieval operations is now possible. Especially important for the autoretrieve feature.
- NEW: Fluent is used for localizing, while the locale file has been simplified and now cover the whole plugin. You are welcome to submit translations as a PR.
- NEW: The whole codebade has been refactored with a focus on easy maintenance, especially for the supported citation count APIs.
This plugin is a refactored and enhanced version of Erik Schnetter's Zotero Citations Counts Manager for Zotero 7. Code for that extension was based on Zotero DOI Manager, which is based in part on Zotero Google Scholar Citations by Anton Beloglazov. Boilerplate for this plugin was based on Zotero's sample plugin for v7 Make-It-Red.
