I also have a very half-baked branch somewhere with preliminary code, but
mainly in terms of syntax/org-element (similar to pandoc).

IMO we /need/ to add proper citation support to Org, preferably with a
real syntax rather than these link-"solutions" and with good backend
support (bibtex & Zotero for starters, I guess).

#+begin_rant

The current state is a mess and not portable.  E.g. there's at least two
Zotero projects, there's John Kitchin's code, there's ox-bibtex.el (which
IMO is not suitable for complicated citation requirements), plus everyone
and their mother's have got custom citation links in their config via
custom org link types...

/Proper/ citation support (not links) is, IMO, the last thing that is
missing for good academic publishing support.
