Google Scholar was created by krae

I'm creating a new site that will contain educational research papers and the client needs it to comply with Google Scholar so the papers will be included in their library.

I'm wondering if anyone has ever used this along with Flexi or what would the best way would be to include the proper meta data?

The best idea I've had is to create a hidden field to include the author, title, etc as meta data:
<meta name="citation_author" content="{{author}}">
<meta name="citation_title" content="{{title}}">

Docs: scholar.google.com/intl/fr/scholar/inclusion.html#indexing

Thanks

Flexi 3.3.11

the problem is you need to add this in head and not body ??
i think this can work
1 put your field in render position
2 add a php in your template

Code:

# add Facebook tags
$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$authorfield = $this->item->author;
$doc->addCustomTag("<meta name="citation_author" content="'.$authorfield.'"/>");

not sure about whole code but concept is here www.robertwent.com/blog/adding-facebook-...a-joomla-3-template/

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
