Academic Citation Formats - 3.17.0

Note: This is a change that had a lot of code being touched!
With browser extensions on so many different systems and working on many pages on the web there may be things that regressed. Let us know about any bugs via the live chat in the bottom right of the the feature board here, and we'll at it to fix it asap.

You'll now have the ability to export papers websites and annotations in academic citation formats. Standard templates are provided for MLA, IEEE and Harvard standards and you can completely customise the output to other standards too.

How to use:

  1. Go to any of the "CITE" buttons you find in the top right on the annotation sidebar, or in each result element

  2. Select one of the templates (MLA, IEEE or Harvard) or click on "NEW" and then select an existing template from the "prefill with template" button and modify it from there

  3. To use the templates in the cite process make sure to FIRST SAVE THE PAGE, otherwise the copying will not work (we'll improve this just you know for now thats a must)

  4. You can modify the captured metadata by clicking on the "cite" button in the annotation sidebar and then clicking away the modal. You'll see that the sidebar content has changed with the metadata fields to edit

Features:

  • Automatically capture metadata from PDFs and websites such as

    • DOI

    • Authors List

    • Journal Name

    • Journal Volume

    • Journal Page

    • Journal issue

    • Paper release date

    • First access date

  • Added new template variables for each of those data points

  • Formatting for time output for pages and notes follow the "moment.js" date syntax here.

    • {{#PageCreatedAt}}YYYY-MM-DD{{/PageCreatedAt}}

    • !!!!This is a breaking change, old time variables will not work anymore!!!!

Auto-Capture of page and paper metatdata

Improvements

  • Added back the "fetch local" button, missing from the initial release of the new AI chat

Bug Fixes

  • The youtube range would show NaN as the time when switching between youtube videos in the same tab

  • Even though you had a subscription it would still show you the "You're in trial" in the AI selection modal

  • Fix bug with "clear chat" still keeping the last message in the list
