In addition, Zotero users often organize their references using
collections, tags, and "related" (and the first two I find essential, both
with Zotero itself and when using Zotero in a tablet). Some of these (e.g.,
collections, tags) might be synced/translated from BibTeX into Zotero
though not always reliably. And trying to get these to work reliably is
probably too much work.


Best,
