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:

Writers, what are your favorite underrated packages?
ebib.

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

Zotra is now on MELPA: The power of Zotero in Emacs
With Zotra, you can get a bibliography entry from a url or a search identifier (DOI, ISBN, PMID, arXiv ID). You can even add a bookmark to you browser so that when you click it, the bibliography information of the webpage you're visiting would be saved in some bib file. You can also get the links for attachments and download them from Emacs.

[Update] Zotra: using the power of Zotero in Emacs to manage citations and pdf files
A while ago I made a post about a small package I wrote, named zotra. This package allows you to use the power of Zotero translators in Emacs. With it, you can get a bibtex entry from a url, much like Zotero itself.

can org-capture-ref replace zotero?
Zotra looks like a promising way to use the Zotero translation server from emacs without using the Zotero client, but I haven't had proper time to tinker with it in my config yet.
- zotra: API to get to get bibliographic information from a url and save it into a bibtex file.
