Citation Manager for WordPress plugin
11 July 2010 by Mike GogulskiPosted in technology | 7 Comments »
Citation Manager is a WordPress plugin that allows you to track and display external citations to WordPress content.
While trackbacks and pingbacks are fine for displaying references from other websites which support them, what do you do when, say, a print newspaper, book or magazine makes reference to your content? Citation Manager provides a solution. Download from wordpress.org.
At a Glance
- Adds a form to post and page screens to manage external citations
- Displays an unordered list of citations per post/page, or nothing if there are no citations
- Provides shortcodes for summarizing citation data
Usage
- On the page/post edit screen, press “Add citation”.
- Fill in *at least* the Publication or Title fields and save/update.
- On pages/posts with citations, Citation Manager will output them after the content.
- If a URL element is provided, it will be applied to the Title if present or to the Publication if not.
- Press “Delete citation” and save/update to remove a citation.
- Use Settings->Citation Manager to alter the text/HTML to come before and after the citation list.
Shortcodes
- [citation-count-total] outputs an integer indicating the total number of citations to all content on the site
- [citation-count] outputs an integer indicating the total number of citations to the present page or post
- [citation-dump] outputs a nested unordered list of page/post titles and citations to them
Changelog
- 0.9.0
- Initial release
Citation Manager was developed for the Center for a Stateless Society and is released into the public domain via the Unlicense.

Can I add a target blank to the link of the citations? If it’s posible, where I can add the code to do it?
Many thanks for your work time!

@Mario:
In citations.php, find
if ($cit_url)$html .= '<a href="' . $cit_url . '" title="' . (($cit_title) ? $cit_title : $cit_publication) . '" rel="nofollow">'
and between “a” and “href” add

How do we define the location the citations will be visible in the template file?

Hi Stephanie,
The way it currently works is that it outputs the citation list immediate after the post or page content, and with a high priority so that it comes before other things that insert into the end of the content.
Do you need it to go someplace else?
