[Zotero 7] View refernces and relations as a graph?

Fontanapink · 2024-08-23T12:54:41+00:00

I was sooooooooo excited by this plugin created by MuiseDestiny: https://github.com/MuiseDestiny/zotero-reference. It seemed to offer everything I was looking for: an easy way to view references, read about them without losing my place in the PDF, and most importantly, the ability to visualize all my references as an Obsidian node graph.

Unfortunately, the plugin doesn't work with my instance of Zotero 7 on Windows. Does anyone know of an alternative plugin or workaround to achieve the same functionality?"

There is a version for Zotero 7. It's just still designated as 'pre-release', since it pre-dates the very recent official release of Zotero v7. Look in the list of all releases; take the one on the top. It has changed position in the Zotero PDF reader (it's in the top taskbar on the right, not in the right pane) and also its appearance has changed somewhat.

It does not work on Ubuntu though or am I missing something?

Re the mentioned graph visualization, that's actually part of one of the developer's other plugins, ethereal style.

And the reference plugin is currently hard to set up in Zotero 7, as the settings dialog is only in Chinese. That wasn't the case under Zotero 6.

There is a (Chinese) video for the new version, but it doesn't quite facilitate the setup for English speakers.
