Had to write a paper in college with 100 citations.

We used zotero for citation management, and it would dump a bibtex file on demand.

The paper was written in markdown, stored in git, and rendered through pandoc. We would cite a paper with parentheses and something resembling an id, like (lewis).

We gave pandoc a “citation style definition”, and it took care of everything. Every citation was perfectly formatted. The bibliography was perfectly formatted. Inline references were perfect. Numbering was perfect. All the metadata was ripped from pdfs automatically. It was downright magical.

Exactly my workflow, but I used R Markdown!

I absolutely love R markdown! Being able to iterate on your analysis and report at the same time is fantastic
