  • Created a Bibliography App for the site MetaStudio
  • The project was inspired by a firefox addon Zotero to help the users of MetaStudio to create a personal library where they can store metadata of articles, journals , books or anything they come across on the internet. This library can then be used to cite references at the time of writing a page, course or post in Metastudio .This will help in reducing plagiarism and will add credibility to the pages.
