Longform writing and Zotero Citiations

Hi All, I do see that there has been intermittent discussion of this topic over the years. However, for this non-techie reader, it’s all somewhat opaque. So: is there a not-extremely-complicated way to do longform academic writing in Logseq, with Zotero citations that can eventually be converted to Word/Open Office Zotero citations? I’m grateful for any guidance here. If it’s not possible, I’ll keep my longform writing out of Zotero, but I’d love to be able to write where I keep my notes. Thanks!

Complicated or not, I don’t think there is any way at all that would, as a very minimum

  • keep formulas
  • convert citations to Fields or Reference Marks
  • keep images,

but I’d like to be proven wrong.

Hi All, I’m bumping this topic up again, as I embark on some writing, to see if there is currently a way to do longform writing in Logseq with Zotero citations. The only thing keeping me from doing academic writing in Logseq is the difficulty of an easy citation workflow using Zotero. Thanks in advance for any suggestions here!

I take initial notes in Zotero and then migrate to Obsidian for long form writing. Note that built-in Zotero support is not part of the new DB version and so in the future it will depend on third-party developers. The developer of Zotero-local for logseq is probably the best person to discuss feature requests with, though upgrading for DB support will be the first priority.

Thanks. Guess it seems best to keep my longform writing out of Logseq for the time being at this point.
