This year marks 10 years since development of Citation.js started!


Horvathiolus superbus, observed November 18th, 2025, Colares, Portugal.

Changes

  • DOI: input data from e.g. Crossref is validated better, and common issues are fixed automatically
  • RIS: better handling for empty lines and non-standard types (#248)
  • Wikidata: 'mul' labels are now used as fallback, and various aspects of input validation are handled
  • Small improvements were made across the board, especially regarding deprecated libraries and language features.

New Year’s Eve tradition

After the releases on New Year’s Eve of 2016, 2017, and 2021 through 2024, this New Year’s Eve also brings a new release, v0.7.22. The documentation of the CSL has gotten a small update, and Wikidata input now supports the publication type of scholarly work (P13046) property.

Happy New Year!
