How to make citations using Emacs org-mode
It is possible to include bibliographic citations within org documents.
Interesting information about org-cite can be found in the manual.
Use C-h i in emacs to access the manual and then access the org-manual navigating
in the menu (use the letter m and type 'org..')
See Org Manual -> Citation handling -> Citations
Include a header linking a file with references
You should include the path and the name of the file containing the bibliographic references. Include something like this at the beggining of your document:
#+bibliography: ./bibliog.bib #+bibliography: ~/Doc/file.json
Here the file may be a '.bib' , 'bibtex' or a '.json' document.
Including citation
You can use 'C-c C-x @' (org-cite-insert) to include references from the linked file. For instance:
[cite:/s/v/@OrgCitations]
Citing from the second file [cite:/s/v/@bernard_leptospirosis_1993]
Where "s" and "v" are the style and variant of the citation.
Print bibliography
Use the following to print the references:
#+print_bibliography:
The references will appear when you export (tangle) the document to any format (html, odt…)
Using csl
You can use csl files to format your references. Install citeproc in emacs, then
use the following in the org file header:
#+cite_export: csl ../bib/apa-5th-edition.csl
Where ../bib/apa-5th-edition.csl is the name of the csl file
