[MLZ] Instructions for using Zotero with Google Docs under Windows

For all of you who have been waiting for a way to use your favorite bibliographical management tool (Zotero of course, although for the time being only in its multilingual version) with Google Docs, Frank Bennett has provided a working solution. It allows you to copy Zotero link-wrapped citations from (multilingual) Zotero into Google Docs. You can then work with that document (also collaboratively with others) in Google Docs until it is finished. All that then remains to be done then is to download the Google Doc file into libreoffice (with the Zotero plugin for libreoffice installed), 'refresh' the citations, and all citations will magically transform into nice Zotero fields, that can also be used to automatically generate a perfect bibliography from all the notes. Provisional instructions for making all of this work under Windows can be found here - https://rizzoma.com/topic/18126838ff7437aa668bc2f070777841/.

Special thanks go (besides to the overall Zotero team) to Frank Bennett for giving us not only citeproc-js, the basis for citation formatting in Zotero; multilinguality, the first citation option that does justice to the growing globalization of science; an abbreviation filter that allows for correct and consistent abbreviation of titles, journal names, institution names, publishers and publisher locations etc, and now also this.
