Wordpress meta data required by Zotero to generate a reference

I own two Wordpress websites:

www.lime-at.com

and

www.mp-gr.com

As these are both websites that other people may want to reference, especially www.lime-at.com I wondered if there is any guidance on exactly what meta tags are required by Zotero to fill in as many fields as possible when generating a reference?


Many thanks,

  • For a standard site, currently Dublin Core meta tags (as in DC.creator DC.description etc.) are probably the best way to go. Looking ahead, you could also look at JSON-LD with schema.org metadata -- that's not currently captured, but hopefully will be in the near future.

    If you want technical details, the parsing of most metatags (except citation_ style google highwire) happens in this file https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/RDF.js though it's unfortunately a bit difficult to read.
  • These are the functions I used to use with Wordpress for exposing Highwire metadata that would be picked up by Zotero and Google Scholar https://github.com/bwiernik/WP-Citation-Metadata
