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.

Zotpress

Works really well in combination with both user and group libraries. Impressed by a lot of things, from account management to how easy it is to create all sorts of bibliographies. Really good UI in the back-end, too, with excellent help & FAQ pages integrated with an overview of available settings and shortcodes. Impressive and well worth a donation!

Would love an option to de-JS ZotPress output (i.e. some way to cache more than just the bibliographic data) and trigger refresh manually (e.g., when a library or collection is updated). Right now sorting and adding headings is all done in JS post-load, resulting in delays. But many publication lists are pretty much static, so could be rendered and cached in HTML once the basic settings are clear.

Easy to use and feature-rich bibliographies; impressive, well worth a donation
