Is it possible produce the same citation as pepers' citekey by editing the CSL file?

xiaobinee · June 23, 2018

I enjoy writing papers without digression. When I read an article (more often abstracts) on the internet, I cite it immediately in my manuscript with a annotation referring to the author, so I don't have to reread the original article. After I finish the manuscript, I add citation one by one.
I know that papers can generate citekeys that work in plain-text, so I edit CSL file to produce citation that can be scanned by RTF add-on. but RTF add-on does the match correctly as often as not.

Is it possible produce the same citation as pepers' citekey by editing the CSL file?

You can use the ODF Scan plugin to insert plain text placeholder citekeys, then save your document as .odt and convert at the end. This is just like RTF scan, but will always yield a clean match for each item because the citekey is unique.
