obsidian-zotero-integration VS zotero-better-notes

Here's the github: https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration

Obsidian is still new to me so I can't say for sure if it's worth switching from the Citations plugin. I feel like the biggest benefit of the Zotero Integration is that it makes use of the Zotero Connector and it provides a more straightforward note importing process (at least that's the case for me lol). It still requires Better Bibtex to manage Cite keys tho! For reference: https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-zotero-integration

As an aside, if you do any sort of academic writing, the Zotero Integration + Pandoc plug-ins have been a game changer. It is quite an intense rabbit hole (at least for me as a humanities person) that took me to the command line, but one I’m glad I traveled down. In essence, it allows me to thoughtlessly create a fantastic first draft WITH an automatic bibliography…so, so nice to have.

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.

> bookmark manager which integrates with Obsidian?

There is a raindrop plugin [1]. also, Zotero [2] could work as a bookmark manager.

Hi, You can use the plugin Zotero integration by mgmeyers. The documentation is a bit outdated but it works well. My workflow is as follows:

The Obsidian Zotero Integration plug-in from mgmyers seems promising, but I have some problems with it still.

Die you check the `zotero-better-notes`? [1]

> LaTex math in Zotero note is no longer a dream. The `zotero-better-notes` addon now supports this feature!

You can do this with the Better Notes Plugin ... Read the manual, there's an English version. You'll have to add the notes to zotero first and then use the better Notes sync manager to sync them where you like in your vault.

for those, i think https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-better-notes/ responds a bit to them. Some are a bit of a workaround like "automatically exporting and syncing notes to a markdown file"
