Literature Citations
A WordPress plugin for managing and displaying academic-style citations, bibliographies, and footnotes on posts.
Features
- Store citations (articles, books, chapters, conference papers, theses, websites, video, film, podcasts, software, and more) in a dedicated database table
- Insert in-text citation markers with the [cite] shortcode
- Auto-generate a "References" footnotes section at the end of each post
- Generate a full bibliography with the [bibliography] shortcode
- Format citations in APA, MLA, or Chicago style
- Track which posts cite which sources, and show back-links from each bibliography entry to the posts that used it
Shortcodes
[cite]
Inserts an in-text citation marker as a superscript link.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| key | Cite key to look up (preferred) |
| id | Citation ID to look up (alternative to key) |
| text | Custom display text instead of the citation number |
| page / pages | Adds a page reference suffix, e.g. [1, p. 42] |
Citations are numbered per-post in order of first use. Reusing the same citation later in the same post reuses its original number.
[bibliography]
Renders the full list of citations as a format
