How to provide bib data on a web page for zotero to find them

kitanokuma

I would like to give access to bibliographical data on a web site I will soon maintain. What is the best way to do it in order to let zotero finds them easily?

There are several ways to accomplish this depending on your web-programming experience, the scope of your project, and if you are willing to pay someone to do web development work for you. The scope of my project was quite large and my own knowledge was small so I did the latter option.

See: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata/coins

I seem to remember that there were other pages of documentation that were relevant but I couldn't find them. For my project we provide COinS but we also expose metadata another way: unAPI and we provide an export to RIS and we have Highwire/Google Scholar metadata in our webpage headers. As I remember there was a Zotero page that discussed the merits of the options for metadata exposure but this may have been a forum post.

The best way to do it depends on how big your site is. What sort of site are you putting together?

If you look at my web page, I've embedded Zotero metadata using GS Highwire meta tags in the HTML:

Thanks for the replies. I will try to find my way from there. By the way, the site will be a tiny one for a tiny "société savante".

How are you designing/running the website generally? Wordpress? Another platform?

You can also check out the Zotero plugins page, which has integrations for several web hosting platforms.

Hi,

@bwiernik

I'd like to use GS Highwire meta tags. I have two questions:

1) How do you generate your tags ? Automatically or manually ? If automatically, with which software ? Zotero ?

2) Do you have a complete list of GS Highwire meta tags ? On the net I found nothing ! It seems that nobody is responsible for this specification.

Thanks,

I generate them on my webpage using Wordpress and this script I wrote:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bwiernik/WP-Citation-Metadata/master/citation-metabox.php

I manually enter the article data on pages for my WordPress site.

(Note that this script includes some tags that are not widely used, such as editor and publisher_place). There isn't really a standard for GS Highwire. A list of commonly-used tags (which Zotero supports) is available here: https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/Embedded Metadata.js. Available lists of GS tags are based on experimentation and Google's incomplete documentation (https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html#indexing)

Hi,

Thanks, really appreciated.

I have struggled for a few weeks to find an effective solution to produce metadata for certain articles that would also be recognized by Google Scholar.

I use WordPress to launch an online journal. I am a novice but I am not afraid of computers. Say I learned a lot these last three months.

But, I'm not sure to understand how to use your php script 1343 lines long !!

1) I installed Meta Box since you wrote in the script that the script use it.

2) I guess I have to put the script in my WP installation on the server but I don't know in which folder. And how to activate it after that.


By the way many people on the net search for that kind of script !

And thanks for all the other tools on the web page. I just install engines.json and I appriciate a direct link to LibGen ;-)


Thanks again,

François Maurice

You can add my script to your theme file and have it work. Otherwise, in your case, I would recommend using this plugin instead: https://wordpress.org/plugins/scholar-publications/

Thanks, I'll try it out !
