Hello,

I am very new to Obsidian and I want to try it out for my academic work with Zotero and lots of literature note taking.

I started out usign the citations package and created a rudimentary (and ugly) note template with a normal YAML header and some Info within similar to https://www.marianamontes.me/post/obsidian-and-zotero/

I found this relatively recent article https://medium.com/@alexandraphelan/an-academic-workflow-zotero-obsidian-56bf918d51ab which uses the "Zotero Desktop Connector" as she calls it.

I do like her approach to importing highlights and annotations directly from Zotero with the page numbers etc... (so if someone knows if how that works it would be great)

But primarily Im trying to replicate the dataview table at the end of the article that lists all literatute notes with some info like author, year, main contribution

As I am using the citations package I created my literature note template:

related:

tags:: #summary | 

zotero::  [@{{citekey}}]({{zoteroSelectURI}})

contribution::
---
title: {{title}}

authors: {{authorString}}

year: {{year}}

citekey: {{citekey}}

URL: {{URL}}
---
Notes etc...

I put some info above the YAML header to quickly see links and i used double colon (::) in that part because I think dataviewer needs it to get key-value pairs from non YAML fields

In a different file im trying this dataview query but it doesnt work sadly:

```dataview  
table
title as Title,   
authors as Authors,   
year as Year,
tags as Tags,
citekey as Citekey,   
contribution as Contribution 

From "Obsidian Path to literature notes"
```

What am I doing wrong? What do I need to learn to understand my mistake?
