Zotcite is a Neovim plugin that provides integration with Zotero for Markdown, Quarto, Rmd, vimwiki, Typst, LaTeX, and Rnoweb file types. With zotcite you can:

• Do auto-completion of citation keys from Zotero database in Markdown, RMarkdown, Quarto, LaTeX, Rnoweb, and Typst documents.

• Quickly see on the status bar information on the reference under the cursor.

• Open the PDF attachment of the reference associated with the citation key under the cursor.

• Extract notes and highlighted text from PDF attachments of references.

• Extract Zotero notes and annotations from Zotero database.

Dependencies

• Required:

  • Zotero >= 5

  • The sqlite3 command line application.

  • nvim-treesitter as well as tree-sitter parsers for markdown, markdown_inline, and yaml. If editing LaTeX, Rnoweb, or Typst files, you will also need their parsers.

• Optional:

  • telescope.nvim for an alternative way of inserting citation keys.

  • Python 3 is required if you are going to convert OpenDocument texts (odt) to markdown or extract annotations inserted in a PDF document by a PDF viewer other than Zotero. Please, see the Zotcite documentation for details.

Zotcite can be installed as any Neovim plugin. Below is an example of how to install zotcite with lazy.nvim:

    {
        "jalvesaq/zotcite",
        dependencies = {
            "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
            "nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
        },
        config = function ()
            require("zotcite").setup({
                -- your options here (see doc/zotcite.txt)
            })
        end
    },

Please, read the plugin's documentation for further instructions.
