Triggered by a question on academia.se about a possibly AI generated publication under review (link), and drawing inspiration from mattermodelling.se, I became curious if their cite button would be a feature generally perceived as useful here on chemistry.se. The button in question appears below questions and answers, provides a brief snippet of BibTeX including the post's title, author, web site address, date of the most recent edit which enters nicely into the database of a reference manager like zotero, for example.

As an illustrative example from mattermodelling.se (link to the post):

Update:

Through "secret" channels we achieved implementation of this feature.

Even though I did not ask very nicely, the higher ups followed my request. Thanks again for that.

Original:

This was brought up quite a while ago and I don't remember why we didn't follow up with the suggestion. I've linked the question and closed the old one as a duplicate.

I personally agreed with the proposal back then and I still agree with it today.

Since the way to move forward with feature requests has changed significantly over the last years, I (or the moderators) will have to check back how to escalate things. I'm pretty sure a few upvotes will help with signaling agreement.

  • $\begingroup$ For me it would be just more fluff (like why is some "follow" between edit and close/flag?), but if people would actually use it... $\endgroup$
