I will review three plugins that promise to display BibTex citations in a convenient way.
Cite & List
- Provides some style settings: (Key Format, Bibliography Template, Publication List Template and some Sanitisation Rules)
- Uses bib2tpl to format BibTex
- Supported data sources: Custom fields, local and remote files
- Upside: Output very customizable in the plugin settings
- Seems quite handy.
AcademicPress
- Seemingly requires manual conversion of BibTex to some proprietary shortcode syntax.
- Didn’t look further into this.
papercite
- Supported data sources: Custom fields, local and remote files
- In function similar to Cite & List
- Upsides: Rich output out of the box, caching of bibtex entries
- Downside: Output only customizable using short codes
Conclusion
I will go with Cite & List as it seems to be the most convenient solution for me.
I had to check “Custom Fields” on the “Edit Post” page under “Screen Options”. Then I was able to paste BibTex entries into a custom field named bibtex.
