Some comments after a minimal try
Opened this issue · 0 comments
Hi!
I tried today this plugin and I acknowledge this is an incredible huge work. I would like to tell you three thoughts that came to my mind.
First, two expected FR: Adding support to get citations from Crossref (so #43 and #139) and OpenCitations (so #134)
and OpenAlex (so #168).
Second: when I tell to a Zotero item the Cita instruction 'Add as citation(s) to...' for another item, it is integrated in the Zotero tab, but also in the Related tab. The first is what I expect and it is great having the chance to click in the Zotero icon to go to the citing item. But it would be great if they would not appear as Related items in the Related tab (I do not know if the instruction 'Auto link citations with Zotero items' has something to do with this issue). Thus, the option of making the items automatically related or not could be included as another preference to choose in the Cita Preferences...
Finally, I see the citations are treated as notes 'Citations' with all the fields information of the citations included in them. Although, being text this probably does not take much space, this information is still duplicated inside Zotero database. Why not save the citations as notes -yes- but just with the citing item id in the Zotero database? (so a note would be ''Citation 452', 452 being the itemID of the items table in zotero.sqlite [up to my possible wrong choice regarding the column of the table to be specified])
Thanks!
