Zotero's Groups feature allows you to share references through the cloud with other Zotero users online. It's a great way to work on collaborative research projects.
To set up or join a group while using the app, you need to first make sure your Zotero library is synced and that all members have a Zotero account.
- Sign into the Zotero website and visit the Zotero groups page.
- Choose your group name (which will also create a unique URL for the group library on the Zotero website) and how visible and accessible you want the group to be to others. Note that the open membership group function will restrict access to full text of the sources your collect for copyright reasons.
- To invite additional members to the group library, or modify the settings, click on "Group Settings" then click "Member Settings" on the following page
- Then click on the "Send More Invitations" link and add them with either their Zotero handle or whatever email address they used to register with Zotero
- You can also join an existing Zotero library at http://zotero.org/groups or be invited by the group’s owner.
Groups will show in your Zotero app under your personal library once you synchronize.
