Citations and BibTeX files There are several ways to handle bibliographic references in %PRODUCTNAME Writer. If you use the standard bibliographic tool provided by %PRODUCTNAME, Writer4LaTeX can convert the references to BibTeX if you choose to do so in the export dialog. In this case you should not make any settings on this page. You may also use other tools such as Zotero or JabRef to handle your citations. If you want to use BibTeX to format references inserted by these tools, Writer4LaTeX can convert them for you. In this case you have to define the location of the BibTeX files produced by Zotero or JabRef. Use external BibTeX files for ordinary citations Check this if the citations in your document refers to one or more external BibTeX files. (The keys used in the document must match up with the keys in the external BibTeX files.) This feature is for advanced users that maintain their references in BibTeX. It enables you to use the original BibTeX files in the LaTeX document rather than converting the inserted references back into BibTeX. Check this if your citations refer to external BibTeX file(s) Convert Zotero citations Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. Zotero provides a plugin for %PRODUCTNAME which permits you to insert citations from Zotero in your %PRODUCTNAME Writer document using a selection of citation schemes. Check this if you want to convert Zotero citations to LaTeX. This enables you to format the citations using a BibTeX style of your choice. Also, the bibliography created by Zotero will be replaced with a BibTeX-generated bibliography. If you do not check this option, the original citation text inserted by Zotero will be used. Exporting your Zotero database to BibTeX To use this feature you must export your Zotero database to the specified folder. The Writer2LaTeX distribution contains a folder named Zotero, which contains a file called BibTeX-Writer2LaTeX.js. This file must be added to Zotero to provide a suitable BibTeX export: In Zotero, choose Preferences - Advanced and click Show Data Directory. Open the subfolder Translators, and copy BibTeX-Writer2LaTeX.js to this location. Finally restart Firefox. You can now export your Zotero database: In Zotero, select Export Library, and choose BibTeX (Writer2LaTeX) (not BibTeX). Save the file in the folder, you have defined.

BibTeX location Writer4LaTeX will look for BibTeX files in the location you define. In central folder: Select this option if you keep all your BibTeX files in a central location (this is usually recommended). In subfolder of document folder: Select this option if you want to use project-specific BibTeX files. For example using a folder named "bibliopgraphy" relative to the document folder. In document folder: Select this option if you want to keep your BibTeX files in the same folder as the document. Warning: In this case you should not use the same name for the LaTeX file and the BibTeX file (your BibTeX file might be overwritten if you do).
