This is an adapted version of the Zotero Meta-Analysis Toolkit developed by the Dried Fish Matters project. The tool operates on a Zotero database, using the pyzotero API, to obtain basic quantitative measures about the distribution of references according to user-applied thematic tags and supply results in the form of an html table or bar graph.

This program is intended to be run on a web server as a cgi script. If invoked without any URL arguments, a user form will be returned inviting input parameter selection. See the live version of this script on the DFM website.

Unlike the original command line tool, this program caches data to reduce the number of API requests made to the Zotero server. To clear data you can use the URL parameters purge_data=on (purges cached query responses), purge_images=on (purges generated graph image files), or purge=on (purges both query results and graphs).
