Zotero is one of those pieces of open source software that has really improved my life. I first discovered it as a teenager and it revolutionised writing papers and managing sources. Sadly I don’t find myself using it that much in my job.

I always got a kick out of introducing it to my friends in the humanities and blowing their minds. I have no idea how anyone writes papers without zotero or another similar tool. Keep up the good work.

The notes functionality along with the new iOS beta is amazing. Makes marking up papers on an iPad very convenient. I would encourage every who uses Zotero to sign up for a paid storage plan to help support development.

Truly amazing! I wonder if the iOS app in development will have all these note-taking features and work on iPad. If so, Zotero completely blows all of the competition out of the water at a price you can't really beat.

Not just for scholarly reference management: Zotero is a great tool to keep track of the books you have if your personal library exceeds one or two Billies in volume. For books printed after 1970 the ISBN alone is enough to have it fetch the most relevant metadata for any book published anywhere from online catalogues. I find Zotero particularly useful when going to a book-fair; it is easy to export a list of titles and authors of books you own so you can easily reference it to see which books from a particular author or series you already have.

I love zotero. Amazing software, indispensable. Want an easy way to integrate with pandoc and Zim-Wiki, I'm sure there's a way but I've not found it yet.

Either way this software is massively underrated.

EDIT

What's with the official iOS app and no Android?

Anybody using this know if it works well for iPad + pencil for scribbling notes on published research papers?

Easily one of my favorite software solutions.

I've tried EndNote. It's awful. Zotero is awesome!

I’m still using qiqqa for my open source pdf search engine but the qiqqa team has moved on. Qiqqa has been a secret weapon for me in pulling up relevant paragraphs from research papers, ebooks, and standards that I have previously saved but not fully read.

Is it still based on the XUL platform?
