Using BetterBibTex has two important benefits over not using it. The first step is to install the BetterBibTex plugin for Zotero. Internally, Zettlr will convert BibTex to CSL JSON. They will work the same way as CSL JSON files. If you use Mendeley, Citavi, EndNote, or any other references management software that does not support CSL JSON, you can use BibTex files.
#Zotero add citation style how to#
If you use another reference manager, please check its manual on how to export from to either CSL JSON or BibTex format. To keep things simple, this tutorial assumes that you use Zotero. Zotero and JabRef are both recommended applications for managing your library.
So the first step is to create such a file. Without such a library, Zettlr will still "preview" citations (so that you can see what will trigger Pandoc's citeproc), but Zettlr won't replace the citation's contents with a generated citation. Both of these functions are triggered by selecting a citation library that contains references. There are two different engines that belong to the realm of citing: the previews (citations can be previewed just as images or links) and the actual process of generating citations (which happens only on export). This guide will help you enable citations and produce beautiful looking files (not just PDF!) that contain correct and consistent citations. Zettlr's citation engine has three parts: A CSL JSON or BibTex library containing all items that can be cited, a preview engine and an optional CSL stylesheet that you can use to alter the style with which your files will be exported.
So what you see in Zettlr will match the output of Zotero's Word or LibreOffice plugins.
