You are using the `basic' back-end for insertion. You may want to use something else by setting `org-cite-insert-processor' to an appropriate value, e.g., `oc-bibtex-actions'. I hoped it would also be possible to set it to something like `org-ref' or some such, but it doesn't seem it will happen. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
