Hello Jonhn, hello the list, I have already used org-bibtex (and ox-bibtex) and I have just tried to use org-ref . Is it possible that a conflict exists between the former(s) and the latter? My links for example are not clickable and the link to the default bibliography does not work at all... But I have started from an older org file used with org-bibtex. Your help is welcome : could you show us a minimal file in order to test org-ref ?
