But how should other people cite your work? This is a recurring problem
for me and I have created a developmental tool maybe similar to
Zotero for obtaining bibtex from many random links. When I post
pdf "tech reports", for example,

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mike_Marchywka

I try to include human AND machine readable bibtex.
If you look at any of my recent pdf files there is always a suggsted
version at the end although I'm not sure if Zotero or Toobib
can find that. In the extended information I include 
bibtex info but have not found a well accepted or commonly
used way to do this ( tug.org website in particular does not
seem to have an easy way to cite their works unless you know
about their lookup -table page ) 
Its not hard to do this with latex and I can contribute
the few lines I use to do it if anyone wants it. 

For example, 
exifutil -list covidup.pdf
