M-x org-bibtex (you need a special format for Org headings).  org-bibtex
is a part of ol-bibtex.el.

Also, I wrote a set of helpers to capture bibliographic data into Org
mode headings: https://github.com/yantar92/org-capture-ref

The format is something like:

- !! [2021-03-09 Tue] [[id:5cc9cea1-a023-4cc8-9753-277dc474850b][Pant Acta 
2003]] showed that the hypothesised dislocation/misfit interaction does not 
actually happen (at least, in (111) FCC films)
  - Yet, the shape of the dislocation upon interaction with the misfit is still 
a "bump", thus general derivation by Nix is still not too terrible. *The Nix's 
model just overestimate the hardening*
