Zotero: Cite and Write

Like Endnote, Zotero is a free bibliographic management tool. It works within your Firefox browser (or as a stand-alone client) to help you collect, manage, and cite your research sources.

Insert Citations

Insert Citations (Word for Windows) Look for the "Add-ins" on the Word toolbar.

From the box above, choose the icon for "insert citation."


Add page numbers

From the Classic Add Citation dialog box use the Page drop-down menu to add page, figure, paragraph numbers and more. To add text to the begining or end of your citation use the Prefix and Suffix boxes. If you want to cite multiple sources together click on the Multiple Sources button to select multiple items together.

Creating an Annotated Bibliography

You can use Zotero to create an APA formatted annotated bibliography. You can right-click on a folder and choose "Create Bibliography from Collection..." or you can follow these steps:

In the main Zotero pane, choose the "gear" icon and select "Preferences."

Next, in the Preferences menu, choose "Cite" and then "Get Additional Styles."


 Choose APA 6th edition (annotated bibliography.)
