  • Quarto document rendered via quarto::quarto_render(): How to implement citations?
    2 projects | /r/RStudio | 2 Jul 2023
    I had some trouble following this but I think what you're saying is the ` [@Bernhofer2021.02.23.432527]` tag isn't getting converted to the actual bib reference - is that right? I just copied this into my system and I could make that part work fine - using my own .bib file of course, and I used this csl which I copied locally. The one change I made to the setup was to put both the .bib and the .csl file in my working directory where the .qmd file is, and also as I commented on a different post of yours from the other day, I make sure there's no spaces in the path to my working directory (for either the folder names or the filenames). So for me, everything is in C:\Users\xxxx\workingdir - this is due to a known RStudio issue with spaces. Who knows if that's what you're running into or not.
  • URL in citation with org-cite?
    2 projects | /r/orgmode | 4 Mar 2023
    Seems like in that case you need to use the csl export processor instead of the default basic -- see the instructions at https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/org-cite-citations/. The default CSL style shipped with Org is Chicago author-date. For numbered citations you will need to use a different CSL style, for instance, ieee-with-url.

    You can use the BetterBibtex plugin to export the references to a bib or json file which can be ingested by Pandoc. There's an option to have it re-export the file every time you make a change to the library.

    Citations work pretty well. You can customize the output with different CSL files [1].

  • writing scientific paper in Rstudio only?

    The bibliography.bib file is your exported bibtex file. The style.csl file is the citation style for the targeted journal (they can all be found here: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles)

    In addition, there are dozens of auxiliary features like searching & downloading citation styles from the Citation Style Repository or an "anticipatory" word count (i.e., calculating the word count a document would have when the bibliography has been added, a feature that virtually all markdown writing apps lack).
