Thank you for your work on improving citation support for org-mode. I have some experiences from using Zotero, but for the moment I'm using org-ref[1] to manage my citations.

I think ease of use is very important. Maybe some day we can talk with Zotero directly from Emacs, but installing a browser extension seems to be the easiest we can do for now. > I know that many people (perhaps especially the `power users' who have > been active in the citations discussion so far) prefer to maintain their > reference database without the aid of a GUI reference manager like > Zotero. Maybe two way sync between BibTeX and Zotero would be sufficient for power users? I know there is already automatic exporters to BibTex for Zotero, but some work needs to be done to make it a two-way sync. I don't mind the GUI for editing the bibliography database, especially when the Zotero Translators [2] make such a good job for scraping citation metadata directly from web pages. I wouldn't like to use the Zotero GUI for bibliography notes. I think the best feature of org-ref is that the bibliography notes are stored in an org-mode file, my preferred note-taking tool. Will this be supported with the new citation processing you are working on? Best regards, Martin Yrjölä [1] https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref [2] https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators
