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.
This looks really nice. Zotero has never stuck with me for some reason but I last used it a few years ago. I'll try again. One problem with this type of service is that there's usually a huge jump from unpaid to paid, but the jump to the lowest paid tier of Zotero lets you pay $20/year for 2 GB of storage. I can handle that. I have more difficulty with the $15/month and $90/year and such paid tiers. Even at $20/year,…
300 MB Free
2 GB $20/year (equal to $1.67 per month)
6 GB $60/year (equal to $5 per month)
Unlimited $120/year (equal to $10 per month)Earlier quoted context omitted.

thank you! I maybe have seen this doc page before... I'm afraid I don't find it totally clear! Do you have any advice for the simplest way to do this from these docs, if starting from scratch? Or what most people do? If you were writing a new website yourself, just an ordinary, say, Rails app, that was not based on library formats like MARC... which method would you use to expose to zotero? COinS is pretty limited an…
They're in the Indexing section of the linked Google page, just formatted in a particularly unreadable manner:
https://scholar.google.com/intl/en/scholar/inclusion.html#in...
That will let you specify a PDF (`citation_pdf_url`) as well.
Should be mostly self-explanatory, but you can see Zotero's mappings here:

> I wish there was a way I could provide the cite in CSL!
We're planning to support `` elements to any supported format — basically a modern replacement for unAPI, which went defunct before CSL could be listed as an option — but CSL wouldn't let you specify a PDF anyway. And most sites want the search engine indexing they get from embedded metadata.
I used Zotero quite a bit in the past, the thing that ultimately drove me away is that when synchronizing you couldn't easily access the PDFs just via the filesystem. I use a nextcloud and also wanted to access PDFs from devices without Zotero installed and this turned out to be a pain at the time. Is this possible with more recent Zotero versions? Is the sync still cumbersome with a zotero account + self-hosted webd…
It's been working great for me, although recent versions have a problem that it no longer recognizes the root directory and pollutes the zotero database with machine-specific absolute paths ((

Agreed. What really blows my mind is how many of my academically inclined friends manage (and cloud sync) a big library of pirated papers using a rival piece of software owned by a major rights holder of said pirated papers. I mean... there's a good chance nothing will come of it, but it just seems like tempting fate. Zotero isn't just good enough, it's so good that the choice is completely trivial IMO! Thanks, Zoter…
There is a very nice (so I'm told...) plugin for Zotero to automatically fetch papers from Sci-Hub based on DOI [0]. [0] https://github.com/ethanwillis/zotero-scihub

I've converted all my colleagues to Zotero, even though the University has contracted subscriptions to EndNote et al. Zotero is just better. I wish that the UC System would contract with Zotero for their mutual benefit.

Honestly I haven’t thought about it since undergrad (history major), I didn’t realize it was still kicking. I might have to fire it back up!
You can even use it as a general knowledge repository since you can save anything on zotero pretty much, not just journal articles.
I doubt it can (otherwise everybody would be using it as a personal knowledge management solution, I assume). I'll take a look anyways.

Thanks! I've used zotero only minimally, mostly to support users of my software who use zotero, rather than using it myself for my own purposes. Is the "web plugin" something built into zotero, or an extra plugin to install? Calling it "plugin" makes it sound like something extra to install, but not finding it easily googling. Help me out?
I think OP talks about the Zotero Connector Browser Plugin. So its not a plugin for zotero but your browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Edge are supported) The plugin ads a button to the Browser where you can add the currently viewed page to your database. It even tries to detect references to papers or other content and choose the matching entry type. Eg on Google Scholar you can choose which search result you want…
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…
one or two Billies in volume Possibly the most universal of all units of measurements. For the uninitiated: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/billy-bookcase-white-00263850/
