Zotero

Zotero is a free and open source reference management system.

Importing from a file

If you are searching a resource which is not compatible with the web importer you can save your references in a file and import into Zotero.

  • Conduct a search in your chosen resource
  • On the Results screen select the references you want to export
  • Look for a Save/Export citations button
  • Save the references in .RIS or.BibTeX format
  • In Zotero click on the File tab and select Import
  • Find your saved file and hit the Open button
  • The saved references will now be imported into your Zotero library
