BBT is a Zotero extension and lives where Zotero lives Zotero is no longer available as a Firefox plugin, only as standalone. There used to be two versions of Zotero, one standalone, and one that was installed in Firefox. Note: BBT needs to be installed in Zotero, not Firefox. I very much recommend not choosing as your pattern unless you have existing articles that use keys generated by previous Zotero-native BibTeX export. If you want to get the stock zotero keys, set the pattern in the preferences to. Note: the default setting of BBT will generate different citekeys than Zotero would itself generate the keys from Zotero are not always safe for use in bibtex/biber.

xpi that you’ve just downloaded, click ‘Install’Īfter the initial installation, the plugin will auto-update to newer releases, so you should need to perform the process described here only once.

What some might not know is that Mendeley can also generate BibTeX files for your reference collections/folders. If you selected "Create one BibTeX file per collection", go to Mendeley Desktop and create a folder where you will store all the references pertaining to your paper. What most of us already know is that Mendeley comes with a built-in word plugin that works on most major word processors. If you select "Create one BibTeX file per collection" this will generate a BibTeX file for each folder in your Mendeley library. Select one of the three options available. Go to Mendeley Desktop, Tools, Options and then click on the BibTeX tab.
