Using bibtex citation key in google docs

Support

#1

Hi,

Is it possible to import the bibtex citation key instead of the standard first author and date?
I would like to get \cite{Haak2013-cv} instead of standard (Haak et al. 2013) when I import a reference from paperpile. Is that possible?

It makes it easier to transfer to latex for final setup.

Cheers

It’s not possible to insert BibTeX keys, but if your goal is to transfer it to LaTeX in the end, we have covered this use-case.

You can automatically export a version of your document with all author-date citations converted to BibTeX keys (Cog menu > Export):

Sorry, I was not clear here. You need to install our new side-bar addon from the Docs webstore:

Here you’ll find the export menu:
