Distinguish collections in reference list

ElEscribiente

Hi. I am working on a doctoral thesis that divides references into primary and secondary sources.

I have already gathered them in two Zotero collections, and now I am looking to divide the reference list automatically into those two categories.

I suppose I could modify the Zotero macros that make the Word plugin work, but I have not found a way.

Thank you.

The only way to do this would be to right-click each collection, choose Create Bibliography from Collection..., and paste the bibliography into your document.

Do that once you're done writing, though — Zotero won't update the bibliographies when citations change.

If you're technically inclined, it's possible to create multiple bibliographies using pandoc:

This approach relies on creating multiple bibliography files, but it's trivial to modify this filter to separate bibliographies based on types instead (e.g. using the hidden 'classic' type).
