In a nutshell, LyZ is a plugin to Zotero, which enables you to send citations to LyX documents.
Synchronization between LyX/BibTeX/LyZ
When Zotero reference is changed, BibTeX database as well as the LyX document can be updated. This is useful when nice BibTeX keys are used, such as ‘author year title’ and e.g. the title or the first author’s surname has been modified, which will result in modification of the BibTeX key.
When the “Update BibTeX” is run, you should select to update the LyX document in case your modifications to Zotero references might affect your BibTeX keys.
Before the update, a backup of the active LyX document is made (extension *.lyz). LyZ will save, close and then reopen your document.
The LyZ add-on is cross-platform and it works on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
