While waiting for plugins for Zotero in Anytype, I decided to go back to using Zutlio add-on in Zotero and ‘Copy selected item link’ (or my customised shortcut) to get the deeplink for the citation item; then paste to a relation with URL type. This way I can open the citation item directly.
This method is way quicker than inter-connection (or asking the system to search for item) because only one time identification is needed and it is easily achievable when I am working on the article anyway.
UPDATED PREFERENCE FOR ZOTERO PLUGIN
Considering the potential of inclusion of pdf annotation and handwriting in Anytype, the critical function would be the ability to transform / export into a proper article with the required text styles and layout, including reference list/bibliography, following the academic requirements.
Another issue I hope to be able to address (somehow) is the in-text citation of articles for same author/surname with same year (e.g. Smith, 2023a and Smith, 2023b).
- Generally speaking, aliases can resolve the in-text citation.
- Or if inline relation supports text style display, it is possible to add a full reference to the object as relation and display it that way.
However, this doesn’t consider/detect when I have two or more similar used citations which need to be distinguished when needed and only when needed. Of course, I can go through it myself, hoping I didn’t overlook
