For one of my reading-intensive class, I’ve even created a shared Zotero group library that all the students can join and cite from, which is neat. It’s also far easier to maintain a master list of references. You can create a Zotero collection for specific projects, and items can live in multiple collections. Editing an item in one collection updates that item in all other collections. Zotero treats collections like iTunes/Apple Music playlists-just like songs can belong to multiple playlists, bibliographic entries can belong to multiple collections. Zotero follows the CSL standard that pandoc uses. It was the first program to adopt CSL (way back in 2006!). It supports all kinds of entry types and fields, beyond what BibTeX supports. ![]() references.bib file to Zotero was a relatively straightforward process, but it required a few minor shenanigans to get everything working right. Preparing everything for migration meant I had to make a ton of edits to the original references.bib file, so I made a copy of it first and worked with the copy. To make Zotero work nicely with a pandoc-centric writing workflow, and to make file management and tag management easier, I installed these three extensions:īibDesk allows you to add a couple extra metadata fields to entries for ratings and to mark them as read. Internally, BibDesk stores this data as entries in the raw BibTex: I’ve used these fields for years and find them super useful for keeping track of how much I like articles and for remembering which ones I’ve actually finished. ![]() I decided to treat these as Zotero tags, which BibDesk calls keywords. ![]() I considered making some sort of programmatic solution and writing a script to convert all the rating and read fields to keywords, but that seemed like too much work-many entries have existing keywords and parsing the file and concatenating ratings and read status to the list of keywords would be hard.
