My motivation for keeping bibliography in org was to keep all local information about a paper (including notes and comments) in one place. This should make it easier to find it. Meanwhile I found org-bibtex. It seems to implement just what I had in mind and is even included in orgmode by default. The following function can be used to save a org-bibtex headline into the kill-ring in bib format, so that it can be yanked into a project-specific .bib-file: (defun my-org-bibtex-kill-ring-save-headline () (interactive) (kill-new (org-bibtex-headline))) >> Either a separate bibtex file for each article, or separate bibtex >> files for each co-author. > > Or better do both... > > #+BEGIN_SRC latex > \bibliography{/home/you/references/articles.bib} > % \bibliography{/home/collaborator_1/references/articles.bib} > % \bibliography{/home/collaborator_2/references/articles.bib} > ... > \bibliography{references} > > #+END_SRC > > When a collaborator_i is working on the file she/he comments the first > line and uncomments the i-th line AND everybody runs > reftex-create-bibtex-file (or copy paste the new references for the > unfortunate non-emacs user) after adding new references and finishing > editing.

I like to keep papers under version control, and the commenting that you suggest does not seem to fit this way of working very well.
