Importing Zotero references

Zotero is a tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources.

To integrate Zotero into your Authorea writing environment, make sure you first set the Zotero default export format to BibTeX.

To set Zotero default export style to BibTeX:


Step 1: Navigate to Zotero Preferences
Step 2: From here (see image above), navigate to Export and select BibTeX as the default format


To add a Zotero reference to Authorea:


Click “cite” in the Authorea editor toolbar, and you can now drag and drop (or copy paste) citations from Zotero into the BibTeX record box at the bottom of citation window.
