If you want to you can make a “collection” in Zotero for each folder you have your pdfs in and drag them into there. One thing you might also like is the ability to drag and drop any number of pdfs from Finder into the central pane of Zotero and then right click on them to have the meta-data extracted and make a parent reference item. Here is a youtube demo of how to cite in Word with Zotero: ! If you use Zotero standalone or Zotero for Firefox you will be able to download the Mac plugin for Word from this page: It integrates very nicely with Word and LibreOffice (even with LaTex). Zotero works best as a Firefox plugin but also works well as a standalone app which is also compatible with Chrome and Safari. It also accepts DOIs and ISBNs for the creation of entries (you can copy and paste these from pdfs that have text layers). Its best feature is probably the robust ability to gather metadata from various sites: Google Scholar, Amazon, Worldcat etc. I settled on Zotero because it is open source, free and compares favourably in many ways with most of the others. I looked at many citation managers after deciding to ditch Endnote because of their proprietary format, high cost and charging for new releases. I would be interested to hear about your experiences using it. I am also using Scrivener, although I only just started. I am afraid I only just came across your post on Docear’s forum. You may request a workshop for your class, group, or department by emailing Consultationsįor EndNote assistance, schedule a consultation with Anna Marie Johnson.įor Zotero or Mendeley assistance, schedule a consultation with Alyssa Denneler.I know about the stress and frustrations of writing a PhD. Librarians teach a variety of hands-on workshops scheduled at Wells Library, or upon request for specific audiences. Because of this, the level of troubleshooting support we can offer may be lower. IU Libraries cover the cost for EndNote, but Zotero and Mendeley are available as free downloads from the web. For a quick comparison of EndNote, Zotero, and Mendeley, see our comparison chart.
