I have to collaborate in Word but can at least start out writing my papers in org-mode. I use Zotero for reference management and with the help of several tools I can insert citations that can be formatted by Zotero in the final version of the paper. Here is my configuration: https://gist.github.com/andersjohansson/324a01364eb5a5435c65 It uses Erik Hetzners org-zotxt and org-pdcite, ox-odt for converting to odt, and then the tool http://zotero-odf-scan.github.io/zotero-odf-scan/ to convert the generated citations like { | Smith, (2012) | | |zu:2433:WQVBH98K} to Zotero citation marks in the odt-file. Perhaps someone else will have use for this as well, Cheers, Anders Johansson
