Adding references

There are a number of ways to get references into Zotero. Find which work best for you.

Organising references

Using folders, tags, related items, notes and groups can help organise and manage your references. Merging duplicates helps keep your library tidy. Use shared groups for collaborative work.

Notes and annotations

Record your thoughts and highlight text. Import them into your documents.

Using groups

Sync your library to access it anywhere, join and create groups to work collaboratively. Find the options for exporting your references.
