GTA Technology Topics, Tips & Tricks: Citation Management with Zotero
Ok so my recommendation of this tool comes from word of mouth and not personal experience, as I have never used it. But I have used RefWorks and I don’t bother with it anymore because its always hit and miss importing citations from databases. I have heard good things about Zotero though!
I would recommend its use for students who have to manage citations from a lot of different resources (databases, web pages, images, digital objects, etc.) or for those students who are involved in large research projects, directed studies, theses, etc.
Zotero is free. The program uses an Internet Plug-in for importing citations.
The original Zotero works only in Firefox. Zotero 3.0 beta version works on all operating systems, on any browser. Download either version at the link below.
Here is a discussion of Zotero 3.0, the beta version, from Dean Giustini of The Search Principle blog (UBC prof).
