====== Citation Generation ======

===== Possible approaches =====

==== CiteProc ====
CiteProc is a common approach.  A beneficial aspect of using CiteProc is that you can use any of thousands of citation styles: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles

A bunch of open source projects already use CSL/CiteProc: http://citationstyles.org/

There is a JS library, but no Perl library (yet): http://citationstyles.org/developers/

Here is some information about how LBCC uses CiteProc in its discovery layer: http://sandbergja.github.io/systems/2015/11/24/findit-bibtex

==== Eprints ====

Eprints displays citations prominently, and is also written in Perl.  It might be worthwhile to learn more about Eprints does citations.

https://github.com/eprints/eprints/blob/master/perl_lib/EPrints/Utils.pm#L536

Here's an example of the Eprints interface including citations: https://eprints.qut.edu.au/104121/

In fact, the browse and search interfaces use citations as the search result display: https://eprints.qut.edu.au/view/subjects/080799.html
