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. Everybody shares a current version of the .tex file and the references.bib file. > In general, you'll want to have the bibtex file(s) for an > article only contain the references that you'll use in the > article, especially if you intend to distribute the bibtex files > as part of a reproducible research project. Note that when the article is ready the references.bib is the only thing you need to compile, since it has all the references, so you erase the all the other \bibliography's > There are tools that use the information in your article .tex > files to create this kind of bibtex file from a larger bibtex > database. Yes, emacs via reftex-create-bibtex-file =) Best, -- Jorge.
