Create a Bibliography

1.Select the documents you want to include in the bibliography (holding down the Ctrl key)

2. Right-click and choose the Create Bibliography function
3. Select a style and save your bibliography in the RTF format (if you want to have it in a text-processing program like Word) or in the HTML format (if you want to publish it on the Web).


 

To create a bibliography from a collection, right-click on the collection icon.

 

There is an integrated Zotero toolbar in Word, LibreOffice and Google Docs. You can only use this toolbar if Zotero is running.

 

 

: opens a search window that allows you to search for citations in your Zotero library, to select the style and insert the citation. For certain styles requiring footnotes, Zotero creates automatically the footnote and inserts the citation inside. You can also add a page number, a prefix or a suffix to a citation.

 

 

: creates automatically a bibliography with all the references cited in your text.

 

 

: allows you to change the style of your references.

If you do not find the Zotero toolbar, try to go to Preferences, Cite, Word Processors, and install or reinstall the Word or LibreOffice plugin. It solves the problem in 80% of the cases.
