BetterBibTeX
For those who use Zotero together with LaTeX, BetterBibTex is an essential plugin. Here, I attempted to create a formatting rule that produces convenient bibkeys for entries. It follows the syntax of:
{FirstAuthorLastName}{PublicationYear}_{AbbreviationOfJournal}
It attempts to fetch the abbreviation for journal from its database.
There are some custom rules based on journals I work with the most.
If there is no abbreviation in the database, it tries to create one.
For non-journal published entries, preprints etc., it just appends X instead of {AbbreviationOfJournal}. Same happens for abbreviations longer than 15 symbols.
