About Zotero

Zotero app iconWhat Zotero Does

Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is a research management application that works with your browser to collect, manage, and cite research sources. It's fairly easy to use, connects to web browser and word processor where you do your work, 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.

It automatically updates itself periodically to work with new online sources and new bibliographic styles.
