Citation Manager

Description

Allows for tracking and display of external citations to WordPress content.

While trackbacks and pingbacks are fine for displaying references from other
websites which support them, what do you do when, say, a print newspaper,
book or magazine makes reference to your content? Citation Manager provides
a solution.

Long Description

At a Glance

  • Adds a form to post and page screens to manage external citations
  • Displays an unordered list of citations per post/page, or nothing if there
    are no citations
  • Provides shortcodes for summarizing citation data

Usage

  • On the page/post edit screen, press “Add citation”.
  • Fill in at least the Publication or Title fields and save/update.
  • On pages/posts with citations, Citation Manager will output them after the
    content.
  • If a URL element is provided, it will be applied to the Title if present or
    to the Publication if not.
  • Press “Delete citation” and save/update to remove a citation.
  • Use Settings->Citation Manager to alter the text/HTML to come before and
    after the citation list.
  • You can also configure the presence of the target="_blank" attribute in
    links to external sites when citations are listed, causing those links to
    open in a new browser window.

Shortcodes

  • [citation-count-total] outputs an integer indicating the total number of
    citations to all content on the site
  • [citation-count] outputs an integer indicating the total number of
    citations to the present page or post
  • [citation-dump] outputs a nested unordered list of page/post titles and
    citations to them
