pandoc-citeproc: "stdin" (line 421, column 2):
unexpected "O"
expecting "c", "C", "p", "P", "s" or "S"
pandoc.exe: Error running filter pandoc-citeproc
Warning message:
running command 'pandoc -o hr-statistik-mit-r.docx hr-statistik-mit-r.md --bibliography sukstorf.bib' had status 83

Answer 1

Pretty sure you need --bibliography sukstorf.bib to be --bibliography=sukstorf.bib

Answer 2

I just had this same issue "bibliography...had status 83": it turns out that it was a syntax error in one of the entries in the .bib file. I found it by removing entries from the .bib one at a time and re-knitting until I hit the one generating the error.
