 * This is the most beautiful plugin for citation. However, I have one question.
   When a citation is added manually for a particular post, it is not available 
   for addition in a different post. Is this facility not present in this plugin?

 * Hi there.
 * Please direct all future questions to the github repository for this project.
   [https://github.com/dsifford/academic-bloggers-toolkit/issues](https://github.com/dsifford/academic-bloggers-toolkit/issues)
 * To briefly answer your question: You are correct. This is for two reasons:
 * 1. Saving references to the database outside of the current post would create
   unnecessary “database noise” for not much return value. In its current form, 
   the only thing that is saved is a small fragment of data as a single value in
   postmeta and citations are then computed and regenerated on the fly from that
   data when you load the post edit page.
    2. I’m stubborn and just don’t think 
   WordPress is the best place to managing citations.
 * I’d recommend using a reference manager like [Zotero](https://www.zotero.org/)
   to manage all your references in a central, safe location and then just import
   the references you need from the reference manager using RIS format.
 * Hope that helps. If you need further clarification, please create an issue in
   the github repo linked above.
