Zotero – An Introduction to Reference Management (EN)
Sources scattered haphazardly across folders, notes and browser tabs? When writing your own paper, this costs you unnecessary time and causes unnecessary stress.
In this practical workshop, you’ll learn how to manage your references centrally using Zotero. You’ll record sources, organise them into collections and link them effectively using keywords. We’ll then show you how to enrich sources with notes, annotations and quotations, so that you can access them at any time whilst writing.
This way, you’ll always have a clear overview of your references – from the initial research right through to your finished thesis – and save time whilst writing. Finally, you’ll learn how to cite sources correctly and switch easily between different citation styles.
