You are right, although I think having to read too many org files would make the agenda run slower. And creates a lot of buffers (one per file) which makes navigation more complicated. I always wished that the agenda would close those buffers. Anyway, I think that having a single file is the best option. > > Julian Burgos writes: > >> Dear list, >> >> I have been using org-ref for a while, using reftex to insert citations >> in >> my org documents.
