Thanks! + - A: I saw this one before and I guess it would be possible to do that, to use Org documents only as the way that you are writing papers. Maybe you can just use that as a template that you're going to export. If you are familiar with LaTeX, it's going to be more useful, and maybe more convenient to work with inside of Emacs. But then I'm not 100% sure if that's... How do you say that? Maybe, in my opinion, the benefits of using org-roam in that setup is that you can link the things. For me, I'm using the search function for org-roam to just navigate between the files. So that's really some, a good advantage, but like, yeah, that could be, like Leo said in the presentation, that's some, maybe that's something you can start using org-mode with to write papers. So yeah. + - Agreed on opinion of working in org vs LaTeX +- Q: How about connecting Emacs Org-Roam to Zotero?

I see, then I am just lazy and don\'t + want to do it by hand -_- + - A: So the way I manage that is I just have a couple of .bib files that I edit by hand, where I put the reference when I find them. And yeah, I just showed very briefly in the presentation, but the way. One of the great thing with the org reference system is that if you have your bibliographic files that are connected to that system, you can just like, you can put the link, the reference to the paper, like click on it from your org note, and then you can open the PDF. You can open the DOI link to open the whatever publisher page. So no, I don't use Zotero and I just edit bib or bib files by hand in Emacs. + - I understand the appeal for having it integrated in the browser. Maybe that's something I should look up, actually, because right now I just like doing it very much by hand, like going on the publisher page and copying the bibtex block and just using putting that in my file. Yes, it can be not a very efficient workflow on that side. But after that, you're having the PDF and having it inside the note. +- Q: How do you start a new document?

I think a lot of people use org mode as their default document editing syntax, so being able to use the same syntax for your papers instead of switching contexts to latex is helpful +- The reference management that Vincent demo'd comes from org integration.

That does not require org-roam. Just Org itself +- Thanks Vincent! work in progress +- just got this in mind when reading here about typst ;-) https://xkcd.com/927/ +- I also have the video saved in the bibliography, so I can go to the file by just opening the citation link. +- I'll check out Zotra now, seems really interesting. better. +- Thanks for sharing your techniques Vincent!
