If you’re an R Markdown user looking for an efficient way to manage citations and references, CiteDrive is the perfect solution. This web-based reference manager is designed to seamlessly integrate with RStudio, making it easier than ever to handle bibliographies and insert citations into your R Markdown documents. In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up CiteDrive, importing references, and incorporating citations into your R Markdown workflow.

Step 1: Create Your CiteDrive Account and Add References

To get started with CiteDrive, first create a free account by visiting the CiteDrive website. Once your account is set up, create a new “R-Markdown” project. You can easily add references to your project in formats like BibTeX or BibLaTeX.

Your dashboard will allow you to organize and manage references for your project, making it a breeze to get your bibliography in order.

Step 2: Sync Your R Markdown Document with CiteDrive

Once your references are in CiteDrive, you’ll want to sync them with your R Markdown document. Here’s how to do it:

  1. In CiteDrive, click on the “bib” button. This will open a new tab containing all of your BibTeX entries.
  2. Copy the URL of your bibliography and paste it into the YAML section of your R Markdown file, like so:
---bibliography: "URL"---

This will link your R Markdown document to your CiteDrive project.

Step 3: Copy Citation Keys for Easy Referencing

Now that your references are set up, it’s time to start citing them in your document. Here’s how to easily copy citation keys:

  1. In your CiteDrive project, navigate to the settings by clicking on your avatar in the top right corner.
  2. Select the citation key mode “Pandoc/R Markdown/Quarto”.
  3. Choose the references you want to cite and click the “cite” button to copy the citation key to your clipboard.

Once the citation key is copied, return to your R Markdown document and insert it where you want the citation to appear.

Citation Key Insertion

After inserting the citation key in your R Markdown file, click “render.” Your in-text citation will appear in the correct format, and the full reference will be automatically added at the end of your document.
