Zotero – An Introduction to Reference Management (GER)
What’s it all about?
Sources scattered haphazardly across folders, notes and browser tabs? When writing your own work, this wastes 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 your 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 literature – from the initial research right through to your finished thesis – and save time whilst writing your thesis. Finally, you’ll learn how to cite sources correctly and switch easily between different citation styles.
