Google Scholar Citations in Standalone?
Is there any workaround to make the Zotero Scholar Citations or something similar work in Zotero Standalone?
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Here is a fast work around which I just discovered:
1.) Close Zotero Standalone
2.) Open Firefox
3.) install Zotero Scholar Citations --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/zotero-scholar-citations/
4.) Restart Firefox after installation.
5.) Open Zotero Firefox-based (FF) plug in. IMPORTANT: keep that pesky standalone version *turned off* or this won't work.
6.) Click the "gear" icon in Zotero FF plug-in to open Zotero settings menu and click "Update all citations"
7.) View the "Call Number" property in Zotero FF plug-in - it should have some numbers listed, you might not get all numbers for articles (I didn't, but some numbers did fill in)
8.) Next, open Zotero Standalone and view the Call Number field / property --> it should also contain the same numbers.
9.) Why? It appears that ZSA uses the same background database table as Zotero FF plug-in. So, when you update the table via Zotero FF plug-in, the updates also show up in Zotero Stand Alone.
Hope this helps.

Zotero for Firefox:
Install the Firefox add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/zotero-scholar-citations/
By the way, do you know which specific field is reserved for the number of citations? Because I see now that the "Extra" field is used for the PMID number, and there is apparently no field indicating the citations number.
Do you have any workaround that you use for making it show the number of citations and sort by them?
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zotero-scholar-citations/ => this gives msg: This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox.)
- https://github.com/beloglazov/zotero-scholar-citations/raw/master/builds/zotero-scholar-citations-1.9.3-fx.xpi => this addon could not be installed because it appears to be corrupted.
Any help?
