I modified CiteThis! with the following features this weekend:
- Added a citation list box, where you can queue all your citations.
- Removed the custom citation box from the preferences pane (it was not of use anymore)
- Fixed APA citation format to include last accessed date.
- Added some handling of author/titles:
- If title includes the host name of the site such as “news blah blah – CNN”, then the host name will be removed from the title.
- If the author ends with any special characters, they will be removed
- If author contains AP, or Associated Press, that will be stripped.
- Author determination:
- Added handling of some common author classes, like when an element has a class called “byline” or “author”
- Site-specific handling
- Added handling of some more sites: ABCNews, Fox, CNet, Yahoo News
Any chance Cite This will be compatible with Firefox 4? I just updated Firefox and CiteThis doesn’t seem to be compatible and I really really miss it.
Makes school life so much more easier.

Hi, I’ve been meaning to do this. I’ll try to get to it this week.
Hello Jamie, Thank you for the Firefox 4 compatibility. I would like you to be aware that APA has came out with a new version APA 6, I believe. The reference format has changed, will this actually be updated with Cite This?
I’ll look into it, thanks for the update. It should be an easy fix, but I won’t have much availability until early May. I will definitely try to work on this in the first week of May.
