Version 0.7.9 of Citation.js comes with a new feature: plugin-bibtex now supports the import and export of Data Annotations in BibLaTeX files. This means ORCID identifiers from DOI, Wikidata, CFF, and other sources can now be exported to BibLaTeX. Combined with a BibLaTeX style that displays ORCID identifiers, you can now quickly improve your reference lists with ORCIDs.

On the Fediverse, @petrichor@digipres.club posited the question how to include identifiers for authors in Bib(La)TeX-based bibliographies: I have wanted to try including ORCIDs in bibliographies for a while now, and while CSL-JSON makes it nearly trivial to encode, neither CSL styles nor CSL processors are at the point where those can actually be inserted in the formatted bibliography.

Following up on the previous two updates this year ( Version 0.5 and a 2022 update and Version 0.6: CSL v1.0.2 ), here are some updates from the second half of 2022, as well as some statistics. Sapygina decemguttata , a small wasp, observed July 8th, 2021 Changes The mappings of the Wikidata plugin were updated, especially to accomodate for software. The default-locale setting of some CSL styles is now respected.

Since the citation-js npm package was first published, version 0.6 is the first major version of Citation.js that did not start out as a pre-release. Version 0.3 itself spent almost 6 months in pre-release, but only received updates for less than half a month. Version 0.4 spent more than a year in pre-release and received updates for about 4 months.

Version 0.5.0 Version 0.5.0 of Citation.js was released on April 1st, 2021. BibTeX and BibLaTeX After the update to the Bib(La)TeX file parser, described in the earlier BibTeX Rework: Syntax Update blog post, the mapping of BibTeX and BibLaTeX data to CSL-JSON was also updated. The mapping is now split in two, one for BibLaTeX (which is backwards-compatible with BibTeX) and one for BibTeX.

A rework of the BibTeX parser has been on the backlog since at least August 15, 2017, and recently I started working on actually carrying it out — systematically. There were a number of things to be improved: Complete syntax support: again, supporting BibTeX by looking at examples leads in a lack of support for less seen features like @string, @preamble and parentheses for enclosing entries instead of braces.

In the last post I explained how I started implementing the RIS specification that I found in the Internet Archive, only to discover that there is an older specification, which seems to be more common at times. Now, I have implemented the old spec, which luckily was not nearly as complex.

So a while ago I was looking around for the RIS specification again. I had not found it earlier, only a reference implementation from Zotero, a surprisingly complete list of tags and types on Wikipedia and some examples from various websites and programs exporting RIS files. They did not seem to go together well, however.

The new update, v0.4.4, contains a few Wikidata improvements (commit): 22 new mappings 2 fixed mappings (ISSN did not work and publisher-place was mapped to the wrong thing) 2 improved mappings (container-title for chapters and more URL mappings) 1 removed mapping (genre was inconsistent with the intended use, although it followed the specification) Because most of these mappings require additional resources (recipient has to fetch people,

After about two years, finally v0.4.0 is ready for a release. Whether it is a real milestone given that there have been prereleases for about two years, while 0.3.x only lasted three weeks, is for you to decide but I am glad that everything I planned for this version is implemented now. Changes So, let’s go through the major changes. Modules Most importantly, the code is fully modulated now.
