AFAIU, oc-natbib/oc-bibtex also do not support @string because they also rely upon the built-in Emacs parser for bib files. I have submitted a bug report to Emacs devs [1]. Hopefully it can be fixed on Emacs side without a need to switch the bibtex parser. [1] https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=56475 Best, Ihor
