Create a version 1.0 Zotero walk-through tutorial for LMU community and beyond. Include the following:

  1. General citation info including some notes on .csl and BibTex
  2. Downloading Zotero and the web browser extensions
  3. Integrations with Word
  4. Integrations with RStudio and RMarkdown/Quarto

I have a project with some colleagues where we collaborate on a paper project over github with RMarkdown / Quarto. We use the following setup:

  1. We have created a Zotero group (https://www.zotero.org/groups/) where everybody can add references remotely (personally, I always add new papers to zotero via doi by using the "add by identifier" magic wand button in the zotero app)
  2. We use the Better BibTeX for Zotero plugin (https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/) and agree to always use the default citation keys used by the plugin (so that everybody can add references in Rmarkdown / Quarto that will work for everybody even if the bibfile is not synced at the moment)
  3. As an author that wants to knit the final paper, I locally export the zotero bibliography of the shared Zotero group. I can either manually update the bibfile frequently or chose the "Keep updated" option (https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/exporting/auto/) to avoid having to redo the export whenever references are added to the zotero group.
  4. We add the bibfile to git and commit new versions whenever changes are triggered by adding new references to the zotero group bibliography.
