PMID Citation Plus for WordPress is here! This plugin fills a very unique need that I’ve observed in the WordPress community. It allows you to input PMID numbers listed on abstracts at PubMed and have a Wikipedia-styled references section at the bottom of your post built for you.

and the place you get this PMID from, of course….
Thanks! This is just what we needed on an educational site. Hope you can add the DOI tags too!
Hi, I was hoping to use this but it’s not working with a 3.4.1 site, says it cannot populate the meta information. Any chance there will be an update?
Hi TR,
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll try to get it fixed over the next few days. I may also roll out a premium version with some more features (like being able to hover the reference to see the abstract) if that is of any interest to you.
Ditto on the meta issue. If I republish a few times, I can get past the error, but it only properly shows the 1st citation; the successive one(s) only show “PubMed” and the ID #, with a functional link. Doesn’t seem to pull the title data.
Much thanks for building this, though. We’ll be using a ton of citations and this will be wonderful.
Still haven’t figured this one out. Can you take a snapshot of the error and share it?
By the way, version v1.0.3 should be available here in a few hours: this version adds the abstract as a tooltip.
