- 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.
- 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.
常见问题:
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.
