在 Overleaf 中使用 CiteDrive 管理参考文献的 10 个理由
Managing references in LaTeX can be time-consuming — especially when you’re working across multiple papers, tools, or collaborators. If you’re using Overleaf, there’s a simple way to make your reference workflow faster, cleaner, and more collaborative: CiteDrive.
Here are 10 reasons why CiteDrive is the ideal companion for Overleaf users.
1. Built for LaTeX Users
Unlike general-purpose reference managers, CiteDrive is purpose-built for LaTeX. It creates clean, valid BibTeX entries that work right out of the box with Overleaf — no broken fields, no clunky exports, and no surprises.
2. Collaborative Reference Management
CiteDrive makes it easy to share reference libraries with co-authors, advisors, or your entire research group. Everyone can contribute, edit, and organize references in real time, so you’re always working from the same source of truth.
3. Real-Time BibTeX Sync with Overleaf
Once connected, your CiteDrive project automatically syncs with your Overleaf .bib file. That means no more uploading new versions manually — just write and cite. Your references stay up to date automatically.
4. Supports Both BibTeX and BibLaTeX
Whether you prefer the classic BibTeX style or the modern features of BibLaTeX, CiteDrive has you covered. Just select your format and let CiteDrive handle the rest.
5. Simple, Web-Based Access
CiteDrive runs entirely in your browser, with no need to install software. You can access your references anywhere, on any device — perfect for remote work or quick edits on the go.
6. Organized by Projects and Tags
Working on multiple papers? CiteDrive lets you organize your references by project, and you can tag entries for even more structure. Find exactly what you need, fast.
7. Easy Reference Import
Add references in seconds by pasting a DOI, ISBN, arXiv ID, PubMed ID, or even a URL. CiteDrive pulls the metadata automatically and formats it properly in BibTeX — saving you time and reducing errors.
8. Centralized Source of Truth
Instead of duplicating reference entries across different .bib files, keep them all in one place. CiteDrive ensures consistency and makes it easier to reuse references across papers and Overleaf projects.
9. Clean, Shareable BibTeX Files
Need to share your bibliography with a co-author or submit it with a paper? CiteDrive generates structured .bib files that are clean, portable, and ready to drop into any LaTeX workflow.
10. Ideal for Academic and Research Writing
Whether you’re writing a thesis, a journal article, or a grant proposal, CiteDrive helps you manage citations cleanly and efficiently — so you can focus on the writing, not the formatting.
