Upgrade StorageCitegeist — see citation impact, journal rankings, and discover related papers without leaving Zoter
Hi everyone,
I built a free plugin called Citegeist that adds citation intelligence to Zotero 7. I'm a PhD student and got tired of switching between Zotero, Google Scholar, and spreadsheets to figure out which papers in my library actually matter and to find new ones to read.
What it does:
- Sortable columns for citation count, field-weighted citation impact (FWCI), and percentile so you can sort your library by actual influence, not just raw citation counts
- Journal metrics— 2-year citedness and journal h-index columns
- Journal ranking columns — UTD24, FT50, ABDC 2022, and AJG 2021 show up right in your item list (built-in, no setup needed)
- Citation Intelligence pane — select any paper and see its citation count, FWCI, percentile, top 1%/10% badges, and whether citations are trending up or down
- Citation network browser — click "View citing works" or "View references" to browse connected papers, read abstracts, and add them to your library in one click with full metadata. You can file them into specific collections as you go.
- Retraction detection — retracted papers are flagged automatically
All data comes from OpenAlex (free, no API key needed). Journal rankings are bundled — no extra setup.

- Download: https://github.com/phdemotions/zotero-citegeist/releases/latest
I'd love feedback — especially which features are most useful and what's missing. If you work in a field where the journal ranking lists don't cover your journals, let me know which ones to add.
