Thanks @Odin for the pointer, but as i am not writing any academic papers these days, and am already struggling with conflicting plugins, i'll have to take a pass on "BibTeX importer" for now.
For example: Dave G's "BookToolsSidebarAddon" tags each new entry as "source", while Soren's Zettlekasten tags each new entry as "Source"... So now, tags being case-sensitive, i have two different sets of sources, each of which is referenced by a different bibliography feature (NB: i suspected this might be the case, which is why i haven't brought BookTools into Zettelkasten; i tested this by importing a few tiddlers tagged by BookTools in another instance). Based on Soren's video tutorial, it looks like that has all the affordances i need for managing Sources & Bibliographies, if only i could get the latest skeleton version to work like the demo, but -as mentioned above- this is an issue for me ATM.
