Is there another source of journal metadata that is free?
Hello, I am trying to figure out how this old request was developed through the years. I am looking for a good metadata source for Academic Articles, and I noticed Zotero is happily using CrossRef. I searched around a bit and found a couple of github plugins (here and here) that were created to retrieve CrossRef metadata, but they are like 2 years old. I successfully compiled the first one but it is not working at all, and if I run the test it will throw out errors. My knowledge about Calibre plugins is none, can anybody give me a hint? I would probably try to avoid having zotero retrieve the metadata and than export them to Calibre.
