Zotero is an open-source reference management tool that first emerged in 2004 as a browser plug-in with the introduction of Mozilla Firefox, an open-source Internet browser. Since then, Zotero evolved into a user-friendly companion for researchers, successfully accommodating for the increasingly open-access scholarly communication environments. This session will cover how to set up an account, configure a Zotero client, and use it to gather sources and create in-text citations and bibliographies. The session will refer to the current Zotero 5 but briefly mention some positive improvements with Zotero 6's introduction anticipated by the end of 2021.
In this session, participants will:
- Set up a Zotero account and configure the Zotero client
- Become familiar with the Zotero interface
- Start capturing sources using the browser's Zotero connector
- Learn about other ways to integrate sources into Zotero
- Understand how to manage sources including the use of Tags and search features
- Be able to produce in-text citations and a bibliography in a designated citation style
