Re: Inserting citations into text editors

[Albert Krewinkel <albert+pandoc-9EawChwDxG8hFhg+JK9F0w@public.gmane.org>]

I believe that Zotero has become a semi-standard as far as reference
managers go.

If you want a Markdown editor suitable for scholars and journalists, I
recommend you try <https://zettlr.com>. If your work is more on the data
science side of things, you might also like the Markdown editor in
RStudio <https://posit.co/downloads>.

Furthermore, many text editors have plugins to make citation handling
convenient, including vim and emacs.
