## What it is
An Obsidian community plugin that inserts citations and bibliographies and imports notes and PDF annotations from Zotero into Obsidian. It relies on the Better BibTeX plugin for Zotero to function.

## Use cases
- insert Zotero citations into Obsidian notes
- import PDF annotations from Zotero into Obsidian
- generate bibliographies in Obsidian
- sync Zotero notes into my vault
- academic note-taking workflow with Obsidian and Zotero
- create literature notes from Zotero references

## When to avoid
- you don't use Obsidian as your note-taking app
- you don't use Zotero or are unwilling to install Better BibTeX
- you need a standalone citation manager rather than an Obsidian integration

- function: documentation, pdf, file-upload
