Citation, Bibliography and Scientific Writing inTiddlyWiki

[atronoush]

Using Tiddlywiki for a research project, I need scientific citations, mathematical equations, chemical formula, etc. So I did some search in tiddlywiki.com, Google Group and Talk Tiddlywiki and I found the below combination perfect:

• Tiddlywiki + bibtext plugin from official library
• Refnotes from kookma
• Auto Complete from @Maurycy
• Auto Complete triggers for citations from @Zheng_Bangyou

Thank you all. The above combination makes life much easy.

I also installed

• KaTeX from official library for math formula and equations
• Shiraz for quick tables and dynamic tables from kookma

I have some questions, hope you kindly advise me and share your experiences

1. I need to have a Bibliography section in some tiddlers, the difference with a Reference section is a Bibliography has records that are not used (cited) in the text. Refnotes’ showrefs only makes Reference section not Bibliography (like read more), how can I address this need?

2. Is there any other tools in Tiddlywiki ecosystem can be used here to facilitate a smooth scientific writing with Tiddlywiki?

1. Create a tiddler, like “Bibliography 1”
2. Mention all relevant the references in it
3. Go to your main tiddler, where your want bibliography to appear
4. Use kookma’s citation macro, like so

<<showrefs "[[Bibliography 1]]" Bibliography >>

Basically you can tell showref to use any tiddler to compile the references via the filter parameter.

@talha131 has given a great answer above! Using his solution, you can have several bibliographies or Further Readings and use them anywhere you like!

Another solution.

A new bibliography macro is added.

I’m working on a equation editor for KaTeX equations, maybe this could be useful for you :

You can search in the popup to find what you want :

Then when the formula is done you can copy it by clicking on the render bellow :

This is wonderful! worth to ba a KaTex addon like codemirror addons.

I use Auto Complete from @Maurycy with a data tiddler to insert several predefined formulae (like a 4x4 matrix, Laplace equation, or Navier–Stokes equations - Wikipedia

Your solution seems to be able to handle this (insert predefined equations)
