How to create duplicate meta tags

I’m trying to create a website that publishes research articles via a dynamic page. To get indexed well, it needs Google Scholar’s specific meta tags (Google Scholar Help). They stipulate duplicate meta tags for things like authors using citation_author, but Wix doesn’t seem to allow me to create duplicate meta tags. Even using wixSeo.setMetaTags() it seems to only allow one. Please tell me there’s a way around this, Google Scholar is essential and it would be devastating if I have to switch platforms just for this issue

Yes this is possible. It does not require code Adding Additional Meta Tags to Your Site's Pages | Help Center | Wix.com

Thanks for your response but the built-in SEO tool doesn’t seem to allow multiples. The limit of ten would also be a significant constraint.

Apologies, you are correct. I am double checking again with someone on the SEO team to verify but I think this might not be possible at this time.

I know it won’t help in the moment here, but if you want you can request features in the product roadmap here Product Roadmap

Oka, confirmed with SEO that this isn’t possible but they did have some other things for you to think about and try.

  1. In that google scholar docs you linked, it states that you only need to add 1 author for inclusion to Google Scholar so that might. be important info

  2. THey suggested you can supplement with schema markup to list everyone and can also be set dynamically.
    example:
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Article",
  "author": [
    { "@type": "Person", "name": "Liu, Li", "affiliation": "University of Example" },
    { "@type": "Person", "name": "Rannels, Stephen R.", "affiliation": "Example Institute" },
    { "@type": "Person", "name": "Falconieri, Mary", "affiliation": "Example University" }
  ]
}
</script>
