biblatex-archaeology in its environment Ⅶ: CiteDrive

CiteDrive is a collaborative online reference manager for BibTeΧ. Its strengthens are the possibility to pick up references from online sources like PubMed or Google Scholar via a Browser plugin (“CiteDrive Companion”) and the integration into several LaTeΧ editors like Overleaf or RStudio.

The main issue is that their database structure is not as in high resolution as BibTeΧ and especially bibLaTeΧ are. Zotero In order to export refrences from…

Sort orders of Latin-script languages in biblatex-Biber

When sorting bibliographies with Biber, often this warning occurs: Biber.pm:4174> INFO – No sort tailoring available for locale ‘de_DE’ Since the status is INFO only it is nothing fatal. And in fact it only tells that standard sorting order was applied because no individual scheme could be found for the specified locale. This is perfectly…
