Citation.js QuickStatements plugin

This npm package is a plugin to citation.js (see this article) that outputs bibliographic information to Wikidata QuickStatements. Some important points:

1. it does not (currently) check if the information is already in Wikidata
2. it only supports journals articles (at this moment)

Install

npm install @citation-js/plugin-quickstatements

To run the below example, you also need to install a few other packages (as they are currently not automatically pulled in, it seems):

npm install @citation-js/core @citation-js/plugin-pubmed @citation-js/plugin-doi @babel/register @babel/core

Use

Install the plugin by require-ing it:

require('@citation-js/plugin-quickstatements')

Formats

Formats and other features added by this plugin.

Input

The input is CSL generated by citation.js by any of its supported formats. Here's an example for how to create QuickStatements for a PubMed Central identifier:

c = require('@citation-js/core')
require('@citation-js/plugin-pubmed')
require('@citation-js/plugin-doi')

require('@babel/register')
require('@citation-js/plugin-quickstatements')

c.Cite.async([
  '10.1186/s13321-019-0380-5',
  'pmid:14266813',
  'PMC6613236'
])
  .then(Cite =>
    console.log(Cite.format('quickstatements'))
  )
  .catch(console.error)

Or for book ISBN numbers:

const c = require('@citation-js/core')
require('@citation-js/plugin-isbn')

require('@babel/register')
require('@citation-js/plugin-quickstatements')

c.Cite.async([
  '978-0956775016'
])
  .then(Cite =>
    console.log(Cite.format('quickstatements'))
  )
  .catch(console.error)

Output

The output is QuickStatements to be copied into the online webservice. The output looks like:
