CiteKit Reference Manager for WordPress allows online publishers to create, organize,
edit, reuse, and publish structured references and citations as part of their WordPress
publishing workflow.

**Built for content that cites its sources:**

 * Research and academic blogs
 * Health, medical, and nutrition sites citing studies and clinical guidelines
 * Legal, policy, and government-focused publishers
 * Finance and business analysis
 * Product reviews and comparison sites
 * Independent publishers and journalists
 * AI-assisted content teams that need real, verifiable sources
 * Agencies managing citations across many client sites

It includes:

 * **Reference Library** — a central library for storing and managing references
   used across a WordPress site. References can be reused across multiple posts,
   searched and filtered, and traced to the posts in which they are used.
 * **Source lookup and manual entry** — create references manually or look up sources
   using URLs and YouTube links, DOIs, ISBNs, PubMed IDs, or title search. Retrieved
   metadata can be reviewed and edited before the reference is saved.
 * **Source types for online publishing** — web pages, journal articles, books and
   chapters, reports, news, theses, datasets and standards, plus videos, social 
   posts, wiki articles and code repositories. Each records what identifies the 
   exact version cited, from a DOI to a wiki revision id to a commit.
 * **Reference import and export** — import existing references from BibTeX, RIS,
   or CSL-JSON and export CiteKit references back into those formats for use in 
   other reference-management and publishing systems.
 * **Multiple citation styles** — publish references using APA, MLA, Chicago Author-
   Date, Chicago Notes-Bibliography, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, or AMA. Choose one
   style for the whole site, and set the bibliography heading site-wide or per post.
 * **Reference reuse** — cite the same reference from multiple posts and maintain
   a single underlying reference record rather than duplicating source metadata 
   throughout the site.
 * **Structured creators** — record each author or editor as a person or an organization,
   so institutional names are published whole and personal names are inverted or
   initialised as the citation style requires.
 * **Post-level citation editor** — review and edit the references used in the current
   post from one place.
 * **Citation Link Checker** — check the URLs attached to references and mark them
   as Live, Broken, or Unchecked so publishers can identify inaccessible or deteriorating
   sources.
 * **Portable references and citations** — content created outside WordPress can
   carry structured source data with it, allowing CiteKit to reconstruct and reuse
   the corresponding Reference Library records when the content is published.

**CiteKit Reference Manager for WordPress also includes additional publishing features:**

 * **Citations** — insert inline citations connected to structured references throughout
   WordPress content.
 * **Bibliographies** — generate formatted, backlinked bibliographies from the references
   cited in a post, with configurable headings and citation styles.
 * **Footnotes** — add numbered footnotes with hover previews and publish a complete
   numbered footnote list.
 * **Tooltips** — add inline definitions, explanations, and asides using dashed 
   or dotted terms or superscript symbols, with the explanatory content displayed
   on hover.
 * **Glossary** — maintain a separate structured terminology library containing 
   terms, definitions, aliases, concepts, related terms, examples, and URLs; import
   and export glossary data; promote tooltip definitions into reusable glossary 
   terms; and publish a glossary or an index of it. Glossary terms are published
   with schema.org DefinedTermSet data.

### CiteKit Premium

 * **Custom Citation Style Builder** — build your own in-text and bibliography formats(
   author order, punctuation, italics, separators) with a live preview, applied 
   site-wide, per post type, or per post.
 * **Multi-style switching** — give any post its own citation style instead of one
   style for the whole site.
 * **Global reference editing** — edit a reference in your Reference Library and
   the change propagates to every post that cites it.
 * **In-post reference search** — search your Reference Library and insert a predefined
   reference right from the post editor.
 * **Custom post type support** — use CiteKit on all posts, pages, and custom post
   types, and apply a custom-built citation style per post.
 * **Citation metadata** — output schema.org / JSON-LD data for every cited source
   so search engines and other tools can read and understand the citation metadata.
 * **Rich footnotes & tooltips** — a native rich footnote and tooltip editor: add
   formatting, links, lists, images, alt text, and captions directly in WordPress,
   without writing custom markup.

### CiteKit Blocks & Formats

Three blocks in the CiteKit category of the block inserter:

**Bibliography by CiteKit** — the formatted, backlinked bibliography for the current
post.

**Footnotes by CiteKit** — the numbered footnote list collected from earlier in 
the post, with hover previews and integration with the rest of the plugin.

**Glossary by CiteKit** — publish the site’s glossary as a full term list or index.

Three inline formats on the block toolbar — **Citation**, **Tooltip**, and **Footnote**.

ປລັກອິນນີ້ມີ 3 ບລັອກ.

 *   Glossary by CiteKit Display your CiteKit glossary terms and definitions. Show
   every term or narrow the list to a single concept.
 *   Bibliography by CiteKit Add citations, references, and footnotes to your post
   and automatically generate a formatted bibliography. Supports APA, MLA, Chicago,
   Harvard, and IEEE styles.
 *   Footnotes by CiteKit Render the list of footnotes collected from [footnote]
   shortcodes or CiteKit Footnote toolbar tokens earlier in the post. Supports hover
   popups, auto-numbering, and back-links. Place at the end of your post. Not the
   same as WordPress core's built-in Footnotes block.

## ຄຳຖາມທີ່ພົບເລື້ອຍ

### Can I reuse the same reference across multiple posts?

Yes. The same reference can be reused across multiple posts without duplicating 
the underlying source metadata.

### What is the difference between a tooltip and a glossary term?

A tooltip is the contextual presentation of a definition in one article. A glossary
term is a reusable structured terminology record for the whole site. Tooltip definitions
can be promoted into reusable glossary terms.

### What is the difference between a tooltip and a footnote?

Tooltips are inline definitions or explanations that appear on hover only. Footnotes
are numbered notes that appear both on hover and in a full list at the end of the
post. Citations, by contrast, connect claims or passages to external sources represented
by CiteKit references. The **Getting Started page** inside your CiteKit admin includes
a “What’s the difference?” section that explains each feature side-by-side with 
examples.

### How are footnotes numbered?

Footnotes are auto-numbered in order of appearance within each post, starting from
1. Numbering is per-post — each post has its own footnote sequence. Footnotes are
distinct from citations: citations use bracketed baseline markers like [1], footnotes
use superscript numbers like ¹.

### What’s the difference between the Footnotes by CiteKit block and WordPress’s built-in Footnotes block?

WordPress includes native footnotes for straightforward numbered notes. CiteKit 
footnotes add hover previews, custom heading control, and integration with CiteKit’s
other publishing features. If WordPress core footnotes already cover what you need,
you can continue using them; CiteKit’s footnotes are useful when you want the additional
display and publishing workflow features.

### Is this a replacement for Zotero or EndNote?

No. CiteKit is optimised for WordPress publishing workflows, not full academic reference
management.

### Does this work with the block editor?

Yes. CiteKit provides Bibliography, Footnotes, and Glossary blocks, along with inline
Citation, Tooltip, and Footnote formats for the block editor.

### Does CiteKit support custom post types?

Posts and pages are supported in the free version. Custom post type support is available
in CiteKit Premium.

I have been looking and trying different citation and footnotes plugins for years.
and finally someone has created the plugin that replaces all others. Not only is
the plugin super simple to install and set up (3 settings in total I believe) and
then short code placements. The on page set up is simple and the new pop up feature
allows you to enter everything you need on the page in the space you want the cite.–
no more highlighting and pasting! With citations you add a professional, stylish
and fully backlinked bibliography at the end of the post. And if you want footnotes
there's a short code that adds hover popups on markers, explicit list mode, and 
a professional numbered and linked footnotes section with custom heading at the 
end of the page. And then why not add tooltips. Yes Citekit does that too. And in
your admin area you have a central library housing every citation you've added in
one place, with post counts and metadata and the ability to verify that all your
source URLs are still reachable. Results are saved and displayed per-citation. No
more hunting broken links, Citekit does it all! The only con – very little styling
options but luckily the standard set up looks great and if you really want your 
colors you can add your own css workaround for that! Thanks Citekit – amazing.
