Re: [BUG] org-cite does not support techreport, mastersthesis, phdthesis, and conference entries [9.5.2 (release_9.5.2-426-gf6813d @ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/)]

[Rick Lupton]

I also found this recently. The reason is that BibTeX-dialect is set by 
org-cite-basic--parse-bibliography in oc-basic.el based on the file extension. 
Renaming your bibliography file to end in “.bibtex” instead of “.bib” should 
make it be parsed using the bibtex rather than biblatex dialect. 

I did find this surprising, as I’ve always just used “.bib” for both dialects, 
and unless I was missing something it seemed to be incompatible with the bibtex 
program which seemed to expect a .bib extension. 

Generally the cite export is working well, thank you. 

Best
Rick
