Hello! I am using Zotero to do refence management for quite a while. And I know that one can establish the "relation" between papers manually (one can select related work). My question is on the side of automatic PDF analysis which might be very difficult to implement.

It is possible for Zotero to find cited papers in the database? For example, I have the following three papers:

1) Paper 1, cites paper 2 and paper 3

2) Paper 2, cites paper 3

3) Paper 3

I want to have the following connections to be done automatically :)

1) Paper 1 -> "cites 2", "cites 3"

2) Paper 2 -> "cited by 1", "cites 3"

3) Paper 3 -> "cited by 1", "cited by 2"

I know there are a lot of issues with PDF files made via scanning and so on. But maybe it is possible to do at least for some portion of the database somehow?
