So, the entries for software with BibTex are usually @Manual, @Book, or @Misc. The supported choices are found here: BibTex Entry Types. The only kind of value "omitted" would be the reference key, e.g. \cite{MyEntryKeyForR2023}. With this in mind, the citation() function is R defaults to having all entries with @Manual.

For example, if we call citation() in R we get:

To cite R in publications use:

  R Core Team (2023). _R: A Language and Environment for Statistical
  Computing_. R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria.
  <https://www.R-project.org/>.

A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is

  @Manual{,
    title = {R: A Language and Environment for Statistical Computing},
    author = {{R Core Team}},
    organization = {R Foundation for Statistical Computing},
    address = {Vienna, Austria},
    year = {2023},
    url = {https://www.R-project.org/},
  }

Note that the entry type here is @Manual, but there is no entry key being given.

Similarly, this is the case if we wanted to obtain a package citation, e.g.:

citation("bibtex")
To cite package ‘bibtex’ in publications use:

  Francois R, Hernangómez D (2023). _bibtex: Bibtex
  Parser_. R package version 0.5.1,
  <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=bibtex>.

A BibTeX entry for LaTeX users is

  @Manual{,
    title = {bibtex: Bibtex Parser},
    author = {Romain Francois and Diego Hernangómez},
    year = {2023},
    note = {R package version 0.5.1},
    url = {https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=bibtex},
  }

So, using the write.bib() function, we're just making multiple calls to obtain citation information for each R package and, then, writing the bib entries.

I hope that clarifies what's going on and why you are seeing the @Manual key for zotero.

Closing the issue as we haven't heard back from the opener given the response.
