Managing Citations How I use Zotero, Better Bibtex and Overleaf together post

Citation workflow

Add papers to Zotero from web using 'connectors' that parse metadata from journal websites. Export either you entire collection or a subcollection with "automatic export" ticked

Set up automatic git push

In a word, run:

git config zotero.betterbibtex.push true #in the repo that holds your overleaf project

When the citations are finalised

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 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, replace you command with \include{main.bbl}
