Is there a website that turns DOIs and ISBNs into BibLaTeX entries?
I use JabRef for managing references, which allows you to generate entries via a DOI and saves to a local .bib file.

Zotero- ree, easy-to-use tool to collect, organize, cite, and share research
If the town is "online reference managers," you are probably right, but I would argue that reference managers are one of those areas where you really want something offline:
- Offline ensures that you do not suffer an externally caused downtime just before a deadline
- Offline ensures that you have a path for keeping your database throughout your research career, and to do system updates when _you_ want to.
- Offline ensures that if you leave academia, you will always have access to local copies of the academic papers you have referenced.
My favorite offline/local reference manager is `jabRef` [0] which stores all metadata directly in a bibtex-file. The GUI has an excellent pdf-integration, and everything is local and super fast.
Case in point: after a decade in industry, I am looking to get back into my academic fief. All the papers I ever read are in my Dropbox, and all I had to do to pick up where I left was download a current version jabRef and point it to my database which it read without any issues.

I used JabRef throughout my work. It's indeed too late for my PhD work, but Zotero does indeed look very nice.

Zotero Better Notes – Knowledge management solution insid}e Zotero
Thanks for sharing these. I already use a number of these on your list. Though I don't use copy-by-link for files. For me one of the key purposes of zotero is that its the place where I keep these files so I don't have to keep them elsewhere where they aren't as easily searchable.
I'm excited to try the duplicates merger tool, I've been forever putting off this because the normal way is such a slog. The Tag one also looks good.
To add to the list, my key add-ons are:
- better bibtex, this one is essential for me as a latex user
- zotfile. This one is cool because if you add annotations to a pdf, like highlighting or comments while you read it, then zotfile will pull those out into notes in the zotero entry. This makes it really easy to see both that I've read this document, and what parts I thought were important.
- My research library is a mess - any advice?

Bibliography issue work-around needed:
I was going to suggest that you ask the BBT dev about it as I had no idea why that didn't work, then I saw this bug from 3 days ago: Bug: citekey formula does not update. That might be the issue!

My setup as a researcher. How to write, run statistics, and work seamlessly with R, Obsidian, Linux, and Zotero, and collaborate with senior professors who only accept MS Word files!
Another problem is that no matter how much I tried, the two available Zotero plugins for Obsidian do not work for me (this https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration and this https://github.com/hans/obsidian-citation-plugin). I am not sure if that is because I'm on Linux, but they just don't work. However, RStudio on Linux works great with Zotero, and I can easily add citations using the Better BibTeX for Zotero plugin (https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex) to create citation keys. That way, I can simply copy/paste the citation key (e.g. '@lastname2020') in the text and have it render into the citation when I render the file in Rstudio. I sometimes write documents with > 300 references, and Zotero running in a Windows VM, trying to refresh a huge word document would take a long time, and would lead to corrupt citations. That's no problem with a markdown/Rmarkdown document.

Org-roam, zotero, and org-noter workflow for scientific research and citations (+bibtex)?
I have the Better BibTeX plugin in Zotero installed, which keeps ~/Research/refs.bib up-to-date with my entire Zotero library.

Is it possible to import downloaded papers and have Zotero create a BibTex for me?
P.S. Better BibTeX addon grants even more luxurious experience.

Zotero + LaTex with dynamic/updated references?
I've been using the Better Bibtex plugin for zotero for a couple months now, and so far it seems to work flawlessly. You can export a .bib file attached to a zotero collection or library and it will automatically update it as you add things to the collection.

The Art of LaTeX: Advice for Typesetting Beautiful, Delightful Proofs
I use Zotero with the better bibtex addon. Works great. When I first started using zotero, I imported my existing bibtex library, so all my existing bibtex keys all worked. I use zotero as my library for everything and add bibtex keys to things I cite.
