BibTex export for particular references #33

Open Nidish96 opened 7 years ago

Nidish96 commented 7 years ago

Is there any way to select the files that I'd like to obtain bibliography for?

For example, I might have a large collection but would want to obtain the bibtex citation for a particular reference only. As of now, I do it manually - it's really painful! I export it to a new .bib file and then insert that file at the end of the bib file I am using right now.

Your work flow is defenitely not right. What I do is to create a new collection in zotero per each paper/project. Then drag (copy) all the relevant references into that collection. From emacs I just add one collection and export it to the same file.

Alternatively you can have multiple bib files, but the interface is slightly less convenient. See the documentation for zotelo-export-secondary. This way you can have multiple bib files, one per zotero collection.
