Re: [emacs-humanities] Best workflow for Emacs + Zotero ?

[Sergei Pashakhin]

Dear Jean-Christophe,

My workflow:

1. In Zotero, create a folder for a writing project. Populate it with 
references.
2. Export the collection into a Better BibLaTeX. Select “keep updated”.
3. While saving the bib file in Zotero, choose the directory where the writing 
project is located.
4. Use ivy-bibtex or the built-in org capabilities to search and insert 
citations from the local bib file.
5. Specify org export settings: referencing style and so on.

Now, you can write in org-mode and insert citation using your favourite 
completion engine (ivy in my case). Your bib will stay synced with the Zotero 
folders as you keep populating it with literature. Org will automatically take 
care of the referencing and bibliography of your document.
