The BibTeX Scholar plugin helps researchers manage academic references through contextual, Markdown-based notes. Rather than storing citations in rigid folder structures, it allows you to embed BibTeX entries directly in any note and cite them inline using smart ID formats. Hovering over citations reveals popovers with detailed metadata like title, abstract, authors, and utility buttons for linking notes or attaching PDFs. A dedicated paper panel enables full-text search and filtering across your entire library. Designed for academic workflows, it also supports LaTeX export and recurring use cases like AI conference note-taking.
