# Resolve a DOI to get full citation metadata
curl "https://api.crossref.org/works/10.1234/example" | jq '{
  title: .message.title[0],
  authors: [.message.author[] | "\(.family), \(.given)"],
  year: .message.published."date-parts"[0][0],
  journal: .message["container-title"][0]
}'
```

## Zotero Integration (recommended)
- Export bibliography as `.bib` file
- Include in thesis directory: `thesis/references.bib`
- Use Pandoc + `--citeproc` for automatic formatting

## Common Formatting Notes (German Theses)
- "Literaturverzeichnis" = References section title
- "ebd." = ibid (same source as previous footnote)
- "vgl." = cf. (see also)
- "S." = page (Seite), "Ss." = pages
