I would like to write and produce my thesis in LaTeX, but my supervisors prefer Word for commenting and reviewing on my thesis. The first time I did the conversion, I used Endnote and it was pretty easy for a one time conversion. However, this is not feasible on a continuous basis.
I am now using Zotero for my citations. Both Word and Overleaf have convenient automatic import functions for the Zotero libraries. After I strip the word document of the characters unsuitable for LaTeX, my only issue is adjusting the in-text citations. My thoughts were if there is some Zotero Word Plug-in output that produces a citation style that can be read in LaTeX, then it will work. In Endnote, this worked with BibTeX export, which I was pretty shocked by. It produced \cite{RN#}.
With the Zotero plug-in, the only BibTeX related plug in I could find was BibTeX generic citation style. This produces a reference like the following
“When pain persists longer than three months cragg_risk_2019..”
But for some reason there is no cite command or brackets around the citation, so I am not really sure how this is useful. I am trying to figure out how to use Better BibTeX add-in, which I have installed, but it doesn’t seem to be helping.
Maybe I am too optimistic, but if I were able to use an output that produced \cite{(below)} then I would be able to transfer the text from the Word document and link it to the online .bib file from Zotero on Overleaf.
Any suggestions?
