Citations


Excellent plugin and fairly easy to use. This improves my citations and means I don't have to simply write HTML code in a custom block to get them working.


Always wanted better citations

The plugin allows users to generate a bibliography-style text for a publication using the provided information. 
To use the plugin, users can insert a shortcode into a page with the relevant publication details, such as the title, author, journal, year, pages, publisher, volume, URL, and note.
For example, the shortcode <code>[WpBibTeX type="inproceedings" title="Efficient Regional Memory Network for Video Object Segmentation" author="Xie, Haozhe and Yao, Hongxun and Zhou, Shangchen and Zhang, Shengping and Sun, Wenxiu" booktitle="CVPR" year="2021" paper="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.12934.pdf" projectpage="//infinitescript.com/project/rmnet/"]</code> generates the bibliography-style text 
 Haozhe Xie, Hongxun Yao, Shangchen Zhou, Shengping Zhang, Wenxiu Sun. Efficient Regional Memory Network for Video Object Segmentation. CVPR, 2021. as well as the BibTeX cite code below.
<pre><code>@inproceedings{xie2021efficient,
 title={Efficient Regional Memory Network for Video Object Segmentation},
 author={Xie, Haozhe and Yao, Hongxun and Zhou, Shangchen and Zhang, Shengping and Sun, Wenxiu},
 booktitle={CVPR},
 year={2021}
}
</code></pre>
Users can also customize the links displayed on the page, such as adding a new link for downloading code.
New Features in 3.x
Starting from WP-BibTeX 3.0, it is now possible to create a WP-BibTeX item with a featured image on the left using the new “highlighted” format. 
This can be achieved by adding the img attribute to the existing shortcode. For example: <code>[WpBibTeX type="inproceedings" title="..." author="..." booktitle="CVPR" year="2021" img="/url/to/img"]</code>
Additionally, you can create an overlaid media (such as a GIF or video) when the mouse is hovering by adding the overlay attribute to the shortcode. To ensure compatibility with all devices, you can create a fallback media using the <code>overlay_fallback</code> attribute. 
Here is an example of the complete shortcode:
<pre><code>[WpBibTeX type="inproceedings" title="Efficient Regional Memory Network for Video Object Segmentation" author="Xie, Haozhe and Yao, Hongxun and Zhou, Shangchen and Zhang, Shengping and Sun, Wenxiu" booktitle="CVPR" year="2021" paper="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.12934.pdf" projectpage="//infinitescript.com/project/rmnet/" img="https://shangchenzhou.com/assets/img/papers/Conf2021_rmnet.jpg" overlay="//infinitescript.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/highlights/research-rmnet.webm" overlay_fallback="//infinitescript.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/highlights/research-rmnet.gif"].
</code></pre>
New Features in 2.x
Additionally, it is possible to personalize the links shown on the page. By default, each citation has two links, namely <code>[BibTeX]</code> and <code>[Download PDF]</code>. However, it is now possible to include custom links by accessing the option page.
Suppose a new field is created with a Field Key of code and a Field Name of Download Code. The code attribute is then used in the <code>[WpBibTeX]</code> shortcode as follows:
<pre><code>[WpBibTeX type="article" ... code="https://link/to/the/code"]
</code></pre>
After adding this shortcode, a new link, <code>[Download Code]</code>, will appear on the page after the <code>[BibTeX]</code> link.
