Zotero in Overleaf

Managing citations in projects, especially in collaborations can be quite a headache. One way to attempt to address this is to use a citation managing service such as Zotero. In it, you can keep your references collected in specific folders; of particular use is making collections for each paper you are working on. Usinf plugins lile Better BibLaTeX you can evern export .bib files with journal abbreviations! However, when exporting references to use in LaTeX, you must still need to make a .bib file and then copying the contents over to an Overleaf project. Some of the chore of this can be ameliorated by having Zotero automatically update your exported .bib file in the background, but you still need to copy-paste this content into Zotero every time you add a new reference.
