Zotero

Zotero is a free reference management program that can be used on all major operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, Linux).

With Zotero, you can

  • collect and manage your references,
  • import references from academic databases and library catalogs,
  • automatically format your bibliographic data and create reference lists in term papers, theses, dissertations, or manuscripts,
  • create notes for entries, link related entries/notes, tag them, and create thematic folders and collections.

To capture references directly from your browser, you’ll need the Zotero Connector. A plugin for your word processor (Word, LibreOffice, etc.) is automatically installed along with Zotero.

Optionally, you can create an online user account to

  • access your data online from any computer
  • synchronize data across different devices
  • work collaboratively in groups
