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.

Research direction

Start in the frontend code that renders the blue citation area and inspect the existing clipboard button for the file MD5 checksum. 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.
