We have to modify org-ref org-ref modifies helm-bibtex to insert citation links. We have to undo that here to insert LaTeX style citations. We do that here so that the key binding for inserting references from org-ref inserts the LaTeX citations. This is necessary for pandoc to convert the reference citations to the bibliography in the docx format. If you do not use org-ref, this is probably not necessary.

(setq helm-bibtex-format-citation-functions
      '((org-mode . (lambda (x) (insert (concat
                                         "\\cite{"
                                         (mapconcat 'identity x ",")
                                         "}")) ""))))

We have to add ox-pandoc and require it.

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "ox-pandoc" starter-kit-dir))
(require 'ox-pandoc)

Now, for some text. Grindy wrote this nice paper on approaching chemical accuracy with density functional calculations \cite{grindy-2013-approac}. Two other interesting papers include these ones \cite{guldner-1961,guerrini-2008-effec-feo}.

An equation: \(e^x = 4\).

And a figure with a caption:

This is better than what I have seen in the past. ox-pandoc has some options that might tailor the bibliography to specific formats. You lose some functionality of org-ref cite links by using raw LaTeX, but if that is not a deal breaker this might be a good way to go for some purposes.

Here is the word document that results from this file: test-doc.docx
