Guide to Org Cite
YMMV, but I would personally recommend ebib + zotra as a Zotero replacment. I used Zotero and org-cite for a few months but then dropped Zotero and went for a pure Emacs solution. I'm very pleased with the results.

[Update] Zotra: using the power of Zotero in Emacs to manage citations and pdf files
Nice work! I switch from Zotero to ebib and have used the Zotero translation server for a long time. It's nice to see a dedicated package. It would be much appreciated if you could support ebib like https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib/issues/220 then I can remove the funs in my configs.

How do YOU write academic papers in org-mode?
Yes, I do use a citation manager. I've used Zotero with BibLatex export in the past, but now use ebib directly inside Emacs (and which directly reads and writes Bib(La)tex). Pandoc's use of CSL for citation styling is really convenient, and mostly works great. I wasn't so sure if I could format citations and references just as easily using org-export.

use-package :bind blocks the default keybindings for ebib-biblio. Without :bind they work (but I don't get my own ones with :bind). Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
This didn't work. I got a warning that the package ebib-biblio could not be found. I realised that this was because I was using the straight version of use-package, which (only?) looks for packages in the repos, when in this case ebib-biblio is distributes as part of ebib. This didn't produce any warnings:

Bibtex/Bibliograpy options in Org-mode - Suggestions Wanted
An emacs-only solution would be the ebib package (https://github.com/joostkremers/ebib).

Writers, what are your favorite underrated packages?
Great question. Here is a life saver if you write or collaborate with non Emacs users: visual-fill-column. Now please: read the documentation and give it a chance before closing the browser tab. It is not what you think it is, it is not redundant.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ebib and visual-fill-column you can also consider the following projects:
org-ref-cite - An org-cite processor that is like org-ref.
olivetti - Emacs minor mode to automatically balance window margins
straight.el - 🍀 Next-generation, purely functional package manager for the Emacs hacker.
writeroom-mode - Writeroom-mode: distraction-free writing for Emacs.
Emacs-langtool - LanguageTool for Emacs
org-super-links-peek - Take a peek at the content on the other side of a link
org-super-links - Package to create links with auto backlinks
go-org - Org mode parser with html & pretty printed org rendering. also shitty static site generator.
