Simplify citing by automatizing reference list generation

[elatella]

Would it be possible to add a feature, where one only has to cite the doi in the text, and it would automatically generate the reference in the reference list and manage it. Similar to how manubot handles it: https://github.com/manubot/

Update 2

The below lua-filter should solve this. Download doi2cite.lua to either the main thesis folder or to the pandoc share folder and add a line -L doi2cite.lua \ to the Makefile under the pdf: section in an appropriate location. https://github.com/pandoc/lua-filters/tree/master/doi2cite

@tompollard, you can close this if you agree.

Update 1

I came over this, and it looks like a lua/py filter for pandoc can do some magic. Unfortunately, time is what a grad does not have. http://api.crossref.org/works/[enter_DOI_here_for_bib]

If you are using Linux, you can get it by using (neo)vim and the github.com/jalvesaq/zotcite plugin to do this if the need is immediate.

Requirements::

• Linux (I am using Arch installed in Win10-WSL2. https://gist.github.com/ld100/3376435a4bb62ca0906b0cff9de4f94b is a working guide)
• Zotero (you need access to the zotero.sqlite folder in windows/linux
• (Neo)Vim installed in the Linux dist you have. Sorry the zotcite plugin works only by that.
• (Neo)Vim plugin manager like Plug https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug
• Zotcite plugin installed in (neo)vim depending on the plugin manager you use

Now you can just type @authorname or @keyword and press ^x^o to get a dropdown to select from.

The method is patchy and convoluted, but works.
