Credits

Most of the code here is by eschnett's zotero-citationcounts and some from various versions of Zotero Scholar Citations, from: smlum's (2021 Feb), MaxKuehn's (2020), and beloglazov's (2017) versions. I am a noob at github, so idk if this is proper etiquette. But Imma just make releases for personal use.
