[Bug 39461] New: Cite feature
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=39461 Bug ID: 39461 Summary: Cite feature Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P5 - low Component: Style guide Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: lrudikoff@massbay.edu QA Contact: martin.renvoize@openfifth.co.uk I have a lot of issues with the Cite feature in KOHA (the Cite in Zotero is fine). Personally, I don't like it as it is not correct at all! For example, the entire title of the item is not listed, there is no complete name of the author, and there is no italicizing for citation styles that use it. It also doesn't list which Chicago style it is using. Why is there both a Cite and Cite in Zotero? As a user, I would not scroll down to see the Cite in Zotero and just use the Cite feature which is listed first. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

There is no "Cite in Zotero" link in Koha code. My guess this is a customization to your system? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Issues with the generic Cite feature in Koha should be filed as separate bugs with a good bug description ("Cite feature" is too general) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Is there a system preference that controls citation in Koha ILS? We are seeing APA, Chicago, Harvard and MLA in citation." aude_c replied: "Hi! No, there is no system preference. You just get what you see :smile: Being able to decide what citation styles are displayed sounds like an idea for an enhancement. Do log it on Bugzilla!" And I see Owen Leonard's comment, "They way the cite feature is built makes it impossible to make markup changes to individual parts of the citation (author, title, etc.). I think it would be great to make it more flexible." Will it be better if my bug proposal be put here instead of creating one? Please advise.

A bug which just complains about something without suggesting how it *should* be isn't helpful. I encourage you to submit another bug describing in detail what you're asking for. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.

The Cite feature in OPAC displaying a bottom of record detail page would be great if it worked. It needs to pick up from more MARC21 fields eg similar to Bibtxt Eg a record from our catalog in Bibtex book{9304, author = {Fanslow, Janet L. and Mellar, Brooklyn M. }, title = {Help-seeking by women and men after experiencing any IPV, including physical, sexual, and psychological IPV, controlling behaviors, or economic abuse :}, publisher = {Sage, }, year = {2025}, note = {Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2025, First published online, 24 June 2025}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1177/08862605251339646} Not pretty but useable as it includes note field where we put journal reference details and Url compare APA from Cite Fanslow J. L., Mellar B. M., Malihi Z. (., Gulliver P. & McIntosh T. (2025). Help-seeking by women and men after experiencing any IPV, including physical, sexual, and psychological IPV, controlling behaviors, or economic abuse. : Sage. No DOI, also only picks up Title 245, but not remainder of title (Bibtex misses this too). Any way the Cite feature could be improved? Alternatively, maybe it needs a system Pref to turn off or on. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
