@rohitfarmer still on Obsidian, even if not open source : as far as I know, Joplin (like Zettlr) can import references from Zotero, but there is no way (no plugin) to import annotation, comments, notes made in Zotero. It’s possible with Obsidian (plugin + note template).
My workflow includes annotations, comments, notes … in Zotero, I need to import them after that.

@sebastian @Ashedryden same here : I use both apps, but not at the same moment in my workflow.
- bibliography management, readings and annotations : Zotero ;
- thanks to the plugin Zotero integration, with a template, I export my annotations and comments to Obsidian - which gathers all materials for my projects, either academic ones or others.

As a result, Obsidian is my only vault for all ideas / ways to locate a source, and Zotero is for it does so well : managing references.

Just talked with #DisabilityServices at Colorado Christian University. They’re encouraging me to use #MicrosoftWord instead of #LaTeX for schoolwork, since Word has built-in dictation that could help when my #RheumatoidArthritis flares up and typing gets hard.

To other #Blind folks: how do you remember all of Word’s keyboard shortcuts? I swear I spend more time navigating the ribbon than actually writing. I stick with LaTeX because I can remember commands better than shortcuts.

They said Word’s dictation is accessible, so I’m giving it a shot. But I’m also wondering: what reference managers do you use? I’ve been using #Zotero since it works with #VSCode and LaTeX, but I don’t know how well it integrates with Word — and definitely not with #PowerPoint. My school has me doing a lot of #APA-style presentations lately.

Would love tips from anyone juggling accessibility, citations, and academic workflows.

🧠📚 Been deep in the weeds refining my APA 7 student paper template—fully accessible, screen reader-friendly, and powered by LaTeX + Makefile automation. It’s designed for blind students, accessibility advocates, and anyone who wants a clean, reproducible academic workflow. Note that it doesn't use the apa7 class since that wouldn't allow the PDF to be tagged for accessibility.

✅ Includes:

  • Automated PDF builds with BibLaTeX
  • Submission and status reporting targets
  • Sample references. Bib
  • Screen reader-friendly README

Built and tested across Raspberry Pi, Fedora Remix, and openSUSE with WSL integration. If you’re navigating academic publishing with accessibility in mind, I made this for you.

Wow, for the first time in years I've found a academic writing setup that works for me I think. Remember this, future tinkering me :).

- *overleaf* for writing the actual output
- *paperpile* for reference management (with overleaf sync)
- *obsidian* for structured notes
- *remarkable* tablet for messy notes and brainstorming

(I still don't like the Elsevier part of overleaf and the walled garden of remarkable but can't have it all)
