But it's good to have an alternative. Hi Christian, Thanks for the feedback. mozrepl interaction is definitely troublesome; my experience has not been as bad as yours, but there can be problems. I have changed zotero.el to reset the mozrepl process frequently; it is a bit of a hack, but it seems to improve things a bit.T I am hoping that using the recently announced zotero.org API for citation generation will be more stable than using mozrepl. best, Erik
