LibKey Nomad++ includes a module to offer a citation export functionality directly from LibKey Nomad. When LibKey Nomad detects an article on the page it will offer an additional option to export the article's citation data to one of a variety of different citation management services:
On sites like PubMed and Wikipedia where LibKey Nomad appears on multiple results the citation function will appear next to that smaller Nomad button on individual articles:
Under the Citation Services module in the Third Iron Admin Portal you can find toggle options to enable or disable specific citation export services. You can curate the services offered to match the ones your organization supports and promotes:
If you would prefer not to use the Citation Services module you can disable all the listed services to hide it completely.
You can also modify the tooltip shown in Nomad++ if you would prefer to brand or label this function differently. If your library is configured for multiple languages you will see an option shown for each language your account is configured for.
Citation Export FAQs
What citation services does LibKey Nomad++ support?
We offer options for Zotero, Mendeley, BibTeX, RefWorks, EndNote RIS, Citavi RIS, Universal RIS and NoodleTools. Want us to consider adding an additional service? Reach out to our support team and we'll take a look!
How is authentication handled and how is the citation data sent to my service?
The experience will vary depending on the citation service being used.
RefWorks, Mendeley and Zotero are handled via oAuth. When first attempting to export an article from LibKey Nomad++ users will be prompted to login to their account and give Third Iron access to it. After this initial setup any citations sent from LibKey Nomad++ will be automatically exported to the user's account with no further steps or authentication needed. A simple visual confirmation of the export will also be shown.
BibTeX and RIS-based services work from a file export. LibKey Nomad++ will generate a formatted citation file which can be imported into the service by the user.
NoodleTools relies on the user being logged into their account to import the citation into a project. If the user isn't logged into a NoodleTools account messaging is shown directing them to do so.
Does LibKey Nomad++ generate citations for ebooks or only journal articles?
Currently LibKey Nomad++ can only generate citations for articles but we hope to add support for ebook citations in the future.
