An Obsidian plugin that integrates academic reference managers like Zotero with the Obsidian editor. It reads BibTeX/BibLaTeX and CSL-JSON bibliographies, letting users search references and automatically create literature notes with configurable templates.

Use cases

  • search my Zotero library from within Obsidian
  • automatically create literature notes for papers and books
  • insert Pandoc-style citations into my markdown notes
  • import a BibTeX bibliography into Obsidian
  • generate note templates from reference metadata like authors and DOI
  • link my reference manager with my note-taking workflow

When to choose

  • you use Obsidian for academic note-taking and want your bibliography integrated
  • you export references from Zotero (Better BibTeX) or another manager in BibLaTeX or CSL-JSON format
  • you want templated literature notes auto-created from citation metadata

When to avoid

  • you don't use Obsidian as your editor
  • your reference manager cannot export BibTeX or CSL-JSON
  • you need full two-way sync with your reference manager rather than file-based export
