Zotero workflow for Editorial app on the iPad

mcburton

I have brewed up two Workflows for the Editorial app for iPad.[1] The first searches a local BibTeX formatted file for citekeys to insert into your document(using the Pandoc - "@" prefix format). The second lets you search you Zotero library (via the cloud API) to add citations to a local BibTeX file. At some point I'll write up a blog post explaining them in more detail...

Zotero Search workflow:

They are both very BETA at the moment, but I figured I'd toss them out into the world in hopes that people would find bugs. Please use them and let me know here or on twitter (@mcburton) if they are brokeh.

Wow. I have not tried this yet, but this could be key for me. I am contemplating a move to zotero and I keep finding people developing amazing things like this. Very cool. I look forward to trying it out. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this, really an amazing idea.

My one quip with it which I'm actually wondering if you could fix somehow: is there a way to display the listed references by their title (author and name) as opposed to their cite key? But still insert only the cite key not the title..

I have a number of references by the same author and remembering which year the specific book I need was published is pretty tedious.

Also, I used this to create a workflow which automatically inserts a footnote with the cite key. Here's the link: http://www.editorial-workflows.com/workflow/5822941774217216/F2aBN1KR4EI
