Would ZotPress work for me?

  • Hi, I am very interested in having a very scientific and legal site with essentially term style papers which have a boatload of citations to exhibits, links, legal documents, videos, journals, pictures, receipts, books, evidence, etc.

    Unlike other blogs with only maybe a dozen citations, almost every line of text in our articles will have citations, sometimes multiple. A 1,500 word article would have 50+ citations.

    When I see zotpress, I am concerned that it may only allow you to cite journals or documents that you actually put into the library. Can it cite both to your library as well as externally?

    Also, It looks like each of your documents in the library must be a published book, journal, report, etc based on APA style citations. However, some of our documents might be something that is excel spreadsheet, or pdf of an invoice, or picture of a crime scene, or link to a podcast. Some would be docs that we have and some by other sites.

    Any recommendations or suggestions would be very helpful. I am very new to this so I thank you.

    With ZotPress, you only cite documents that you actually put in a library. Things need not be published, but they need to be citable in some reference style in order for ZotPress (really the underlying citation style language) to know how to display them in a bibliography or as an in-text citation.

    Looks like you’re looking for a free-form type of referencing that I would say is amply covered by the hyperlink! Especially if you don’t want to put stuff in a database but just link it, that is basically the point of in-text links.
