Annotate the web, with anyone, anywhere.
I have enabled the hypothes.is sidebar on my blog since its inception.
- Annotation is now a web standard via lobste.rs
- Using annotation as a blogger, video recording of talk by Tom Critchlow at "I Annotate 2019"
- How to subscribe to the Hypothesis public stream for an entire domain using RSS
- A coalition for scholarly annotation
- Viewing and exporting Hypothesis annotations
Citation File Format (CFF), a YAML 1.2-based format for providing citation metadata for (research/scientific) software.
- CFF github repo
- Guide to the CFF v1.2 schema, including such niceties as credit redirection
- One of many CFF file generators (here is a table of other tools).
- Making software citation easi(er) - The Citation File Format and its integrations, slides for a presentation by Stephan Druskat (one of the CFF maintainers).
- There are, of course, R-based CFF generators.
cffris backed by rOpenSci. - Stephan Druskat's cfftracker answers the question: how many repos on Github contain
CITATION.cfffiles? At the moment just north of 1000 repos (less than I thought, to be honest). Keep adding CFF to your scientific repos, people :-)

Adopted by the Journal of Cheminformatics (Aug 2020)
- First adoption by a scientific journal announced in editorial by Egon Willighagen
- Blog post by Willighagen on the same subject
- CiTO updates (another blog post by WIllighagen)
- Citation Typing: progress but we need more uptake
- CiTO updates #4: annotations in datasets
BioMedCentral on the CiTO Pilot (seems to only include Journal of Cheminformatics, for now).
Usage of CiTO is spreading. This page keeps track of CiTO annotation in Wikidata.
What about adoption by tools?
Willighagen offers rudimental instructions for BibTeX (but probably only suitable for Journal of Cheminformatics at the moment) as well as for Google Docs + Zotero (not really working) in this github repo.

The best tool with support for CiTO: pandoc scholar
Pandoc Scholar appears to be our best bet at the moment if we want to use CiTO in our manuscripts.

Other notes
It looks like support for CiTO should happen at the document processing tool stage, and not in our reference managers (Zotero, etc.).
I wonder if something like Biber/BibLaTeX should add support for CiTO, or if that's the wrong abstraction level.
Martin Fenner has a blog post from 2011 (Google Cache) where he shows how to use CiTO with a Wordpress plugin, unfortunately both the post and the plugin appear to have gone offline.
Recently, ORCID promoted Scite_ on their blog. But Scite describes itself as a Brooklyn-based startup (I assume that's code for venture capital-backed), although it also acknowledges funding from public institutions such as NSF and NIH. Scite uses "a deep learning model" to identify "citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence" (so they really only classify the citation as supporting or contrasting). In contrast to Scite, CiTO is an open standard that anyone can build on. Although Scite is currently much glitzier and fancier than anything CiTO can provide, we should encourage everyone to use CiTO (if they care about citation classification).
