Recognizing bibliographic data in a Wordpress post

Paul Guijt
I want to list the articles in a WordPress post from a periodical's edition and have Zotero recognize this bibliographic data and import it.

How can Zotero recognize this data? Should I label it? Is there a useful plugin?
How does Zotero recognize bibliographic data on any website?

Don't worry about the WordPress side, that's the next step.

    Thanks. I had read them and didn't understand them.

    I now realize I should first fool around a bit in WordPress and see where that gets me. Try to tag elements with the mentioned codes.
  • aborel
    For test purposes, it should not be too difficult to add Google/Highwire tags to just one page. Then the embedded metadata translator should be able to recognize an item based on these tags.

    Let us know how it went. Don't hesitate to post a link to your test page if you need further help!

    Thanks again! The issue I'm now dealing with is listing the articles on the page, so Zotero recognizes them. So

    PublicationTitle number - date

    Article
    Subtitle
    Author(s)
    Page

    I can add CSS classes to blocks, but not to words in a block. Testing it in WordPress with the Zotero button, it seems that Zotero only searches the post header.

    There are two ways to have Zotero recognize articles on a page:
    1. Cite them with DOI or
    2. Include.COinS,.which is automatically included when you generate a bibliouas html from Zotero
  • Paul Guijt
    Sorry, not helpful. There are no DOI's, and COinS seems to go to the meta tags in the header. All the listed articles are part of the publication; it's a content listing.
  • adamsmith
    COinS doesn't go in the header, by definition it goes into span tags which would typically be right next to every work. You can edit raw html in Wordpress and include those spans (which, again, Zotero-generated HTML bibliographies include)

    If it’s helpful, here is code I used years ago to add bibliography data to my old Wordpress site https://github.com/bwiernik/WP-Citation-Metadata
