This is an add-on for Zotero, a research
source management tool. The add-on can auto-fetch citation counts for
journal articles using various APIs, including
Crossref, Inspire
HEP,
and Semantic
Scholar. Google
Scholar is not supported because
automated access is against its terms of service.
Please report any bugs, questions, or feature requests in the Github
repository.
Code for this extension is based on the Zotero DOI
Manager, which is based
in part on Zotero Google Scholar
