How to find out in Elisp which .bib file is used for the current org buffer?

How to find out in Elisp which .bib file is used for the current org buffer?

[Joost Kremers]

Hi all,

If you're writing a scientific document in Org, you'll normally 
have a .bib file that you use for your references. What I'd like 
to know is: is there a (robust) way to find out if a specific Org 
buffer has a .bib file associated with it?

In a LaTeX file, you can usually find this out by looking for a 
\bibliography command or, if you use biblatex, for 
\addbibresource. I'm wondering what the canonical way is to 
specify this for an Org file.

TIA

Joost

It depends on how you put citations in I guess. If you use org-ref, then
there is a bibliography link or a latex_header with addbibresource.
Otherwise, it is one of the files defined in
org-ref-default-bibliography.

I am not sure about the ox-bibtex setup.

Hi,

Ok, so there's no single method that will always work. Thanks for 
the info. It doesn't solve my problem but at least I know where to 
start looking. :-)
