Hi, the topic of citations comes up from time to time. The DSpace XMLUI already includes embedded citation objects [1]<https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace-xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp/xsl/aspect/artifactbrowser/COinS.xsl> using OpenURL COinS [2]<http://ocoins.info/>. So... in a way, this job is already done, albeit just in the XMLUI--you just need a citation manager that can read COinS. Lots of suggestions on ways to use them are on the OpenURL page I just linked.
The DSpace committers have had a few discussions on this topic, and it usually boils down to "I think we've already made citations available". Actually formatting the citations to a certain style is probably not a job we want DSpace to do. Especially if there is dedicated citation management software that does a much better job. But, we can always discuss new use cases. With the new UI project kicking into gear, you may want to add a use case [3] for citations (perhaps just to note that offering COinS, like the XMLUI, is desirable). I just glanced, there does not appear to be a use case concerning citations (yet). --Hardy [1] https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=COinS [2] http://ocoins.info/ [3] https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Use+Cases ________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Borda, Susan [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, November 06, 2015 11:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [dspace-community] citation in item view?
