Hi, `org-roam-bibtex-mode` should be on to make Helm-bibtex use Org-roam. If it’s off then Helm-bibtex will use its own note-taking facility. You can call this command interactively after Emacs startup or add `(org-roam-bibtex-mode +1)` somewhere in your config.

In Org-roam v1, `org-roam-bibtex-mode` was usually called upon startup through `org-roam-mode-hook` as soon as Org-roam was loaded. The corresponding line was nevertheless required in the config as in `:hook (org-roam-mode . org-roam-bibtex-mode)`. In Org-roam v2, `org-roam-mode` is not longer a minor mode, so doing so makes little sense. Instead, one can put `(org-roam-bibtex-mode +1)` in the `:config` section of `use-package org-roam`:

```elisp
(use-package org-roam
  :init
  (setq org-roam-v2-ack t)
  ...
  :config
  (org-roam-bibtex-mode +1)
  ...)

```
