The recurring academic nightmare - citations …22 days later from original post…
Pressbooks roots are showing in the fictional world when you can’t retrieve good citation metadata from a book site page (or well formed and embedded in a PDF or EPUB download). Publishing sites that I can click with the “Save to Zotero” button (in web browser), that download well formed metadata to Zotero Manager DB are wonderful. Even the Open Journal System OJS (https://pkp.sfu.ca/ojs/) is much better at working with Zotero, and OJS is a traditional - fire and forget - publishing model.
If Pressbooks wants to play in the academic arena then where is the metadata? The old advert use to be Where’s the Beef? now academically virtualized to Where’s the citation?
Thanks,
Steve
PS1. the only work-around I see is to create a Zotero Export file of the book citation and attach it to the book page. How medieval is that?
PS2. Now if they could combine OJS and Pressbooks, that would be an interesting evolutionary species.
