You found the paper. Now where's the BibTeX? 🧵 It happens every time! You track down the right reference — some older journal article, a conference paper, a preprint — scroll down to "Cite this paper", and get… a plain text citation. 1/7

Suggestion not asked. If you don't want advertisements anymore on Twitter, you can pay 200 EUR per year (100 EUR only reduced them by half, lol), or you can pay 0 EUR and 1/2
