Hello,

I would like to know how to set my ~References.bib~ as a dir-local 
variable for use with bibtex (org-ref, reftex). I have this in my 
~.dir-locals.el~. It keeps showing the global list of references. 
Thanks!

   Its value is
   ("/Class/Biomat/Hw/Project/References.bib")
   Original value was nil
   Local in buffer report-biomat.org; global value is
   ("//Research/References.bib")

     This variable’s value is directory-local, set by the file
     ‘/Class/Biomat/Hw/Project/.dir-locals.el’.

   Documentation:
   List of BibTeX database files which should be used if none are 
specified.
   When ‘reftex-citation’ is called from a document which has neither a
   ‘\bibliography{..}’ statement nor a ‘thebibliography’ environment,
   RefTeX will scan these files instead.  Intended for using 
‘reftex-citation’
   in non-LaTeX files.  The files will be searched along the BIBINPUTS or 
TEXBIB
   path.

   You can customize this variable.

That looks right. I have this in a .dir-locals.el file and when I use
org-ref, it only shows me references from that file.

;;; Directory Local Variables
;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")

((org-mode
  (org-ref-default-bibliography . ("./References.bib"))
  (bibtex-completion-bibliography . ("./References.bib"))))

You do have to close the org-file, and then reopen it after you make
that file, and when I do that I am prompted whether to apply or ignore
the settings.

It might be simpler to just use a bibliography link in the file though:

bibliography:References.bib

Oh! may be I need to re-open the file. I tried with reloading dir-local 
variables and reverting the buffer.

Yes, I used to have \addbibresource{References.bib}, but I wanted to 
have the whole configuration on the .dir-locals.el file. I guess that 
bibliography:References.bib is more general.

Thank you very much, Dr. Kitchin!

the bibliography link is just for bibtex. If you are using biblatex/biber I
think you would put that in a latex header, e.g.

#+latex_header: \addbibresource{References.bib}

Both of these are file-local though, and won't affect other files in that
directory.

John
