Zotero

Zotero is a research tool for collecting, organising, citing and sharing sources. The official website provides the desktop software, browser connectors and documentation, alongside account services for people who want to synchronise or share their libraries. It is useful for students, researchers and other writers who need to keep track of references and bring them into their writing workflow.

The service is operated on a nonprofit basis by the Corporation for Digital Scholarship. The software supports organising references and working with source material, while the website explains collaboration, synchronisation and optional storage arrangements. Local use and online account features have different requirements, which are covered in the documentation. Support pages also explain citation styles, word processor integration and ways to resolve problems with importing or managing a library.
