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.
Code for this extension is based on the Zotero DOI Manager, which is based in part on Zotero Google Scholar Citations by Anton Beloglazov.
- Get citation counts: Right-click selected Zotero items and select from "Manage Citation Counts" options. This will replace stored citation counts (if any) and tag results with the current date.
- Currently, Zotero doesn't have any special field for the number of citations, so they are stored in the "Extra" field.
