How to Specify Bibtex Label

EduardoMartini · June 11, 2019

Hello,

First of all I congratulate the developers for the great work. Zotero has really helped me a lot!

I have one question though, is it possible to specify the bibtex label (from which I will reference the paper in tex, as in '\cite{einstein1904}') in Zotero? I would like to use the bibtex file generated by Zoreto, but don't want to manually change the labels for the papers I was already using.

Best!
Eduardo

If you use Zotero with LaTeX, you definitely want to install and use the BetterBibTeX plugin. With BBT installed, you can specify the pattern used to generate citekeys and also set keys for specific items by adding Citation Key: Xxx1234 to the Extra field.
