Summary

  • New metascraper-citation bundle reads Highwire / Google Scholar citation_* tags into title, author, date, and publisher.
  • Gates on tag presence (not URL), so non-academic pages are unchanged. Load it before the generic property packages so citation_title beats og:title.
  • First citation_author only; missing fields fall through to the generic rules.

Test plan

  • pnpm --filter metascraper-citation test (9 cases: gate, title precedence, first author, author fallthrough, date, publisher vs journal, generic pages)
  • CI matrix picks up the new package

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added the metascraper-citation rule bundle to extract titles, authors, dates, publishers, and journal names from Highwire Press and Dublin Core metadata.
    • Added fallback handling when citation fields are incomplete.
    • Added TypeScript declarations for the new rule bundle.
  • Documentation

    • Documented installation, configuration, supported metadata, fallback behavior, and licensing.
    • Listed the citation bundle among the official core rule bundles.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for metadata detection, precedence, fallbacks, and compatibility with generic metadata.

Highwire citation_* tags beat Open Graph on academic pages.
The bundle no-ops unless those tags are present.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds the metascraper-citation package. It extracts title, author, date, and publisher metadata from Highwire Press, Dublin Core, and DCTERMS tags. It defines precedence and fallback behavior, tests, fixtures, and package documentation.

Changes

Citation metadata rule bundle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package contract and documentation
packages/metascraper-citation/package.json, packages/metascraper-citation/src/index.d.ts, packages/metascraper-citation/README.md, packages/metascraper-citation/CHANGELOG.md, README.md
Defines package metadata, entry points, the public type declaration, usage documentation, changelog, and root rule-bundle listing.
Citation extraction implementation
packages/metascraper-citation/src/index.js
Detects citation, Dublin Core, and DCTERMS metadata. It extracts normalized title, author, date, and publisher fields with precedence and fallback behavior.
Citation extraction validation
packages/metascraper-citation/test/index.js, packages/metascraper-citation/test/snapshots/index.js.md, packages/metascraper-citation/test/fixtures/arxiv.org-abs-1706.03762.html
Tests metadata detection, publication metadata extraction, precedence, fallback behavior, generic extraction, and snapshot output across supported fixtures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 33454

The PR adds citation metadata extraction while preserving generic-page behavior, but the current package metadata links to a 404 and the documented test example does not run as written. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded usability issues.

77-83: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Test the lower-priority citation date sources.

This test verifies citation_publication_date only. Add one fixture with only citation_online_date and one with only citation_date. This validates both fallback branches in Lines 32-33.

The PR objective states that the package supports citation date extraction.

/packages/<name> convention. Perform the correction as one repository-wide

- Line 14: Update the npm install command in the README by removing the leading
shell prompt character, leaving the command itself unchanged so it satisfies
markdownlint MD014.
