Many people use Zotero for managing academic papers because of its versatility and the range of pluins if offers.

When you upload a paper to Zotero, it automatically provides the metadata for the paper. However, I’ve noticed some limitations with the current metadata provided.

1. Adding impact factor

I refferred to this resource – link

  • Go to tools -> developer -> run javascript

  • copy and paste the code from “of “code.js”. And then run the code (ctrl+R)

After this, you can right-click on the legend in the library and select ‘series’ to display the impact factor. It’s important to note that these values might be from 3 years ago.

Limitation

So they should only be used for reference.

2. Citation count

This will show the citation count. If you want, you can add this information in the ‘Extra’ label for easier reference.

Citation count options

  1. Crossref Citation Count: Crossref is an organization that collects and shares metadata for academic publications. The ‘Crossref citation count’ represents the number of times a specific publication has been cited by other documents. Crossref primarily includes academic publishing formats like journal articles, books, and conference proceedings.
  2. Inspire HEP Citation Count: Inspire HEP is a specialized database for the field of high-energy physics, providing citation counts for publications in this area. It is useful for understanding the citation relationships among papers in high-energy physics and related fields.
  3. NASA/ADS Citation Count: NASA’s Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a database specialized in astronomy and physics. The ‘NASA/ADS citation count’ shows how many times a paper registered in this database has been cited by other research. This system provides essential information for astronomers.
  4. Semantic Scholar Citation Count: Semantic Scholar is a search engine that uses artificial intelligence to calculate the citation count of scholarly literature. It is used to analyze an author’s influence and a paper’s impact. Compared to other databases, Semantic Scholar differentiates itself by deeply analyzing the content of papers to count only significant citations.
