Description
Overview of the Feature Request
The new button should copy the citation text in the same form as shown in the citation area (without formatting in a special citation standard). At the moment there is only the funtionialty to download the formated citation.
The new clipboard-button should be somewhere in the blue citation area (see screenshot for mockup).
A similiar clipboard-button is already implemented for the file MD5 checksum, see screenshot.

Confirm how the citation text is represented and how the open pull request addresses the request; done means a button copies the displayed citation text without special citation formatting.
