Google Scholar free WordPress plugin
Description
This plugin turns WordPress into a platform for scholarly publication. It adds several fields to the user profile page to allow you to enter institutional affiliation, department, etc. It allows you to enter in publisher, ISSN, and language information. It outputs an abstract (taken from the post excerpt), author information, and citation links that allow readers to easily download article citation date. It also outputs metadata to facilitate indexing in Google Scholar. Future versions of this plugin will allow you to enter multiple authors for a single article, and will also provide a facility to organize articles into issues and volumes.

This gives scholars a unique opportunity to get their work out there quickly, efficiently, and without having to worry about the gatekeepers at the temple of the scholarly press. I am aware of the need to maintain quality control, and I understand peer review is part of that process, but at the same peer review slows scientific discovery down, and the
