Include article version in citation styles

[mtub]

Describe the problem you would like to solve
When a citation is generated for a publication, it does not include the article version.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make sure the CSL plugin has the version of an article so that it can display it when the citation style format creates the citation.

Who is asking for this feature?
Publishers

Additional information
The citation style language specification supports a version. See https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html#appendix-iv-variables

The original report below was made before we used CSL to format citations:

Once #2072 is completed (at least when the metadata structure has been agreed upon), we should look at plugins and UI functions using that metadata, especially all citation plugins.

This would require only minor changes in

a) the text of the citation (include a "Version X" string) and
b) the journal URL/DOI links

Hi @mtub

I changed the URL at the citation format plugins to the version URL (lilients/ojs@4b59bfb). Also the metadata is displayed recordingly to the version.

This way the version URL will always be displayed at the citation block and not the "normal" one, even when there is only one version published. But I think it is the best way to make sure the citation is correct ...

a) the text of the citation (include a "Version X" string) and

I fear most metadata formats do not have an entry for version numbers of articles (e.g. bibtex does not have something like "edition" as it is available for books). So citation formats that do not include the URL are problematic. But they do still have the publication date. So only versions that are published at the same day are problematic. Maybe thats ok for the beginning ...

b) the journal URL/DOI links

I added the version number to the doi. See #2072 (comment) and lilients@95ac92f and lilients/ojs@ea4b49b

@mtub What do you mean with "journal URL"?

We now use the Citation Style Language to generate our citations. There is a version supported in the CSL specification: https://docs.citationstyles.org/en/stable/specification.html#appendix-iv-variables
