Open it in any editor and remove the header (two lines starting with #) and the comment lines in the bottom. If using JabRef’s database, first select entries you’d cite and save them into another database (.bib).
#UNINSTALL ZOTERO WORD ADD IN PDF#
Before this report, I manually typed them or copied them into text from the pdf file produced by LaTeX + BibTeX. The style for bibliographies in the end usually follows the style for Physical Review journals. In this way, it’s just like writing it in LaTeX file without the \cite command.
#UNINSTALL ZOTERO WORD ADD IN MANUAL#
The basic in-text citation I used is similar to the basic one for Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) or APA (American Psychological Association) style, but is adopted from the bibtex key: 1st Author’s last name + year of publication, e.g. First, let me show you my old way of putting references in a Word or OOo Writer document, and then outline each method. The short answer is that JabRef works better for me but Zotero has its own advantages. Today, I finally had time to check Zotero’s plugin and JabRef’s customer export filter.

Recently, when I wrote the report in MS Word (sometimes I still use that), I thought, why not try Zotero’s Word plugin to insert the citations (or Writer, if you prefer)? Well, I only tried for 10+ min and went back to my old way since I had a deadline. Therefore, I have disabled its ability to download RIS/Refer files, and use it mostly for general topics (including physics). The BibTeX file exported by Zotero still has some bug (see many discussions on this topic in Zotero’s forum). Zotero is quite handy to collection the references but its file format is not a native BibTex file that I can use directly with LaTeX. However, it’s JabRef which I use for my work.

I have talked about JabRef and Zotero here several times, especially the latter.
