Bernt,

I have been using JabREF for years so I don't know Zotero, but I'll try to
assist you.

What sort of data are your references? In my case they're all
ecological/environmental science and I use BibLaTeX (natbib-mode) as the
citation style format with Author-year format. The bibliography style is
authoryear and the bibliography generation processor is biber.

Here's a referece that might help you:

It uses natbib, with works with BibTex, but the BibLaTeX (natbib-mode) is
equivalent.

HTH,

Rich

LyX 2.3.7 & BibLaTeX?

[Bernt Lie via lyx-users]

I'm on LyX 2.3.7, eagerly awaiting the release of 2.4 (whenever that will be).

While I'm waiting, I'm starting to use Zotero to manage bibliography files, and 
had some help from a more IT knowledgeable colleague. He set up Zotero to store 
bibliography files as BibLaTeX. Some experience:
