title: 'How I use Zotero, Better Bibtex and Overleaf together'
date: 2022-01-01
---
Make Overleaf project
Activate Github repo
## Citation workflow
Add papers using Zotero connectors from web
Export either you entire collection or a subcollection with "automatic export" ticked
Automatic git push with https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/exporting/auto/
#### When the citations are done
When the paper is done and the citations aren't going to change too much, use overleaf see logs feature to see the aux file.
Import the aux into a subcollection to get only the citations used for this paper.
Then export the subcollection again using "Keep updated"
No you'll have a bib file with only the citations actually used.
Overleaf Workflow
---
Sync with Github whenever you'd updated the figures or citations. For some projects I now use the [Overleaf git-bridge](git-bridge) directly because it doesn't require you to manually sync with GitHub.
Submitting to arXiv
---
Use the overleaf exporter to get the necessary .bbl file
Submitting to somewhere else:
---
APS Journals require you to paste or input the .bbl file into the text [paste][paste], replace you command with \include{main.bbl}
