It would be nice to have a button the would generate formatted citation for a StoryMap without having to go to a cite generator website. This could be used in papers and resumes/CVs. Author Last Name, First initial. (Year, Month Date Published). Title of web page. Name of Website. URL
Here is an example of a Chrome Extension for a citation generator. ( haven't tested this one.)
Here's an open access journal with a Citation Generator. Find the "Abstract" section and look to the column just to the right. You'll see the Citation Generator.
Thanks @ShanaCrosson2! It looks like the metatags that are already present in the StoryMap web page are getting picked up by that chrome extension you linked to.
Here are a few citations for public stories generated in the APA7 format using that extension:

Thank you @ShanaCrosson2.
This seems to work exactly like I wanted it to. I was only hoping for a button on the StoryMap app itself so tech challenged faculty would not have to install extensions. I'll pass this along to them.
@LisaBenvenuti1 We discussed putting an option for something in a StoryMap that would turn on button for citation generation. This would be author controlled. I agree with you -- for certain StoryMaps, the citation generator would be very convenient for faculty and for students, much more so than a Chrome extension. (I'm sure Safari has something, but I haven't looked.) Some folks will really struggle with an extention vs a button on a StoryMap. Maybe @OwenGeo will keep this under consideration!
