Betterbibtex "From Markdown to Zotero live citations" incorporation with org-ref

[aminevsaziz]

Betterbibtex on its website provide a pandoc Lua filter (https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/exporting/pandoc ) where it's possible to export clickable citation. This option would be awesome for people who write manuscripts in docx format since not all research fields use latex.

In my opinion combining the power of org-ref + betterbibtex + custom pandoc filter compatible with org-ref for converting to docx format. Any suggestions or thought I like to welcome because I would like to start on this project but require some insights and thoughts.

Have you tried the existing export to word with CSL? e.g. https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/examples/basic-csl.org#ms-word-docx-via-pandoc

I guess this could be a standalone file. Probably you need to iterate over the citations in a preprocessing hook to convert them to pandoc form, then export and process via pandoc.

well i did like you suggested in the examples. However, i found out pandoc dont parse org-ref citation as CITE inline but rather as link and you need to run the file inside emacs with pre-processing hook to get them processed. This limit the ability to use filters because citation are not recognized to pandoc unless you run pre-processing inside emacs .

  abstract = {This paper sees a smart city not as a status of how smart a city is but as a city's effort to make itself smart. The connotation of a smart city represents city innovation in management and policy as well as technology. Since the unique context of each city shapes the technological, organizational and policy aspects of that city, a smart city can be considered a contextualized interplay among technological innovation, managerial and organizational innovation, and policy innovation. However, only little research discusses innovation in management and policy while the literature of technology innovation is abundant. This paper aims to fill the research gap by building a comprehensive framework to view the smart city movement as innovation comprised of technology, management and policy. We also discuss inevitable risks from innovation, strategies to innovate while avoiding risks, and contexts underlying innovation and risks.},

and this the command i used to generate native pandoc -f org -t native --citeproc --csl=elsevier-harvard.csl --bibliography=zotlib.bib --standalone test.org

the native ouput was
