This sounds like those maintaining a BibTex bibliography would be better served here. That also means that the Zotero route would not have to worry about importing a bibtex file into Zotero behind the scenes. > > As a GNU/Linux user, I would find installing zotero and all the add-ons > messier and more cumbersome than installing pandoc and/or node-js (were > we to use citeproc-js) from the command line. Maybe the best situation would be to support both the pandoc and zotero toolchain as backends and let the user decide what to use. If the result is in both cases org-formated citations, that should not make it too difficult, no? All the best, Christian -- Christian Wittern, Kyoto
