Copy as bibitem format

b.subhadip
Hi,
I'm new to Zotero. I prefer creating bibitem for the latex bibliography.
When I copy let's say APS format any reference it gives:
''[1]S. C. Glotzer, Editorial: Soft Matters, Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 050001 (2015).''
However, I am trying to create directly create bibliography from item as:
"\bibitem{Glotzer2015} S. C. Glotzer, Editorial: Soft Matters, \href{DOI}{Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 050001 (2015).}" format.
Sorry if I bring a similar question again. If so, could you please provide me with the discussion link, else could anyone please help me regarding my query?

    You can configure the Quick Copy format in the preferences.

    Note that if you're using a BibTeX-based workflow, you want to use the Better BibTeX extension, and then select the Better BibTeX export format instead.

    This is an interesting one though - it calls for a combination of what citeproc can do and what BBT can do. The formatted part of the entry would be easiest to reproduce with citeproc; with the BBT hack to put it n the note field and a custom style you'd get mostly there. That leaves making sure the formatted entry is bib(la)tex-safe, which is technically doable, but unpretty. And quite clunky.

    Why use bibitem though? I've only ever seen it used as a half-product, eg when a publisher wants "frozen" content that can be rendered in a reproducible way.

    "when a publisher wants "frozen" content that can be rendered in a reproducible way."

    This seems to be the case, e.g., with Springer.

    Entries in the \begin{thebibliography} look like

    \bibitem{seaborgNuclearFissionTransuranium1989} G. T. Seaborg, Nuclear Fission and Transuranium Elements: 50 Years Ago, J. Chem. Educ. 66, 379 (1989).


    Is there a way to ctrl+shift+c which includes the \bibitem and cite key?

    Regards

    But why not produce those with bibtex? I suppose I could run citeproc, get the output, and convert it to latex, but you'd effectively be doing manual citation management. Using bibtex to produce it would mean it's always be in sync with your article text.

    Dear @emilianoeheyns I sadly do not understand the suggestion

    I am here for the same reason. I need for Springer a list of \bibitem
    How do I get that from Zotero/BetterBibTex? I do not find the option
  • Zorozero
    "How do I get that from Zotero/BetterBibTex?"

    Michi, just export it by right-clicking, export item, ...

    This has nothing to do with Springer or what Springer wants or needs. I write books in the Springer template, so I know.

    bibexport.bib contains, for example:

    @book{kirkupIntroductionUncertaintyMeasurement2006,
    title = {An Introduction to Uncertainty in Measurement Using the {{GUM}} (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement)},
    author = {Kirkup, Les and Frenkel, Bob},
    year = {2006},
    publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
    address = {Cambridge, UK ; New York},
    isbn = {978-0-521-84428-4 978-0-521-60579-3},
    lccn = {T50 .K57 2006},
    keywords = {Measurement uncertainty (Statistics),Physical measurements},
    annotation = {OCLC: ocm62532875}
    }

    Then in Springer Latex, add

    \bibliographystyle{spphys}
    \bibliography{bibexport}
