Zotero Guide

A brief guide to using Zotero to collect and manage your research sources. It's free software and addons for browsers.

About Zotero

Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is an application that collects, manages, and cites research sources. It's easy to use, connects with your web browser to download sources, and best of all it's free.

Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies.

Why use Zotero?

Because it is free and reliable!

It is open source from an  “independent, nonprofit organization that has no financial interest in your private information.”
