  Obsidian Pandoc Academic Word Doc Guide

  I’m using Zotero + Obsidian for my academic work and PhD.

  If anyone is trying ti unpack a Zotero to Obsidian to Word/Libreofficw workflow, I’ve created a GitHub repo README with instructions on linking everything together.

  Hopefully someone finds this useful, happy for more contributions also (hence why used a repo to do this)

  there's also this project that takes on that space, previously featured on HN but has made significant progress lately:

  Research photo management

  

  Yeah, I just stumbled upon this project and wanted to share, I'm currently using Obsidian for my personal wiki, but I use Zotero a lot as a paper repo and reader, the organization and metadata tools are great, and extending it to a more powerful note-taking tool seems like a no-brainer.

  Now it just needs an EPUB reader to replace Calibre, then it'd just be the perfect all-in-one personal library. For now I'm using this plugin that exports and keeps in sync the calibre library to Zotero:

  https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3339191

  Very grateful that this open source project stays alive, I've seen attempts over the years from startups and other projects to tackle on spaces like pkm, research, paperless office, to then be abandoned yet Zotero keeps getting updates.

  There's also Tropy, from the same organization that develops Zotero, for organizing digital assets:

  https://tropy.org/

  Getting a bit off-topic, but this thing could use some sort of Moodboard designer to visually sort the assets in a canvas, kind of what you can do with Miro, Notion, Mural or locally with Obsidian Canvas/Excalidraw. On that note,

  Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share your research sources.

  

  Zotero is great, but only if enhanced with plugins and a few settings. I don't use Zotero Better Notes so far, but here's my list:

  - disable sync

  - set “Base directory” (Preferences > Advanced > Files and Folders) to local literature folder

  - set PDF View to “System default” (Preferences > General > “Open PDFs using..”)

  - Enable recursive quick search in folders: go to Preferences > Advanced > Config Editor, search for `recursiveCollections`, double click (set to True)

  - use CTRL-SHIFT-DRAG to drop files into Zotero as Links, see [#77](https://github.com/zotero/zotero/issues/77)

  - use CTRL-Shift-C to copy bibliography to clipboard

  PDF Reference Manager

  I had written a script to manage my pdf literature using crossref and arxiv to fetch metadata and store them in pdf tags, and just renaming the pdf in place. No hidden complexity, no gui.

  I hacked it into a python package a couple of months ago in an ADHD hyperfocus induced frenzy. Sounds like you might like it. Still a long way to go, but it's out there and FOSS. Contributions are welcome.

  Make Zotero effective for us LaTeX holdouts

  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.

  I just setup Obsidian a couple days ago and have been using https://github.com/vrtmrz/obsidian-livesync which seems to work ok. I'm curious if SyncThing would be preferable. How does it handle conflicts? How often does it sync? Does it drain the battery on mobile if it syncs too often?
