Automated workflow for pulling PDFs into org-ref + org-roam-bibtex

How To Requests
2

I manage all my papers in Zotero. It allows me to cite-as-i-write in Libre/MS office. Moreover, I use better-bibtex plugin to generate a .bib file, that I have both org-ref and ORB use. All the papers I download via zotero are saved in Dropbox and renamed (to citekey) via zotfile plugin.

As a result, I have an always up-to-date .bib file in emacs.

My workflow :

  1. Grab paper in zotero via Firefox plugin -> automatically renamed and stored and .bib updated.
  2. Open helm-bibtex
  3. Find paper in helm
  4. hit f9 (Which is edit notes - opens up org-roam capture template I have setup)
  5. M-x Org-Noter (For which I have a chord set up SPC o a)
  6. Take notes.
  7. File notes C-c C-c
