Below image has Zotero inside Firefox - While looking at articles/webpages on top, one sees folders/groups on left, articles, webpages in middle, details/citation/tag/note information on the right. Synching is important so Zotero works across your devices. Open Zotero by clicking on the Z at the top or bottom of your browser. This enables Zotero to 'screen scrape' the metadata information from webpages into Zotero. If you download that you must also download the appropriate connector. Zotero Standard works very similar to Zotero Firefox, but does not open in the same browser window, it operates in a separate window. The following plugins are not required for the overarching setup to work but they will make your life easier and improve the overall experience.
I highly recommend installing a Zotero Word Processor plugin (either for MS Word or Libre Office). Zotero Standalone is also available for Chrome and Safari, Mac and Linux. PART 4: Install other add-ons to Zotero Standalone. Also click link to download Microsoft Word Plugin. The program is embedded in the lower pane inside Firefox for easy use.ĭownload it, but don't restart yet.
Zotero for Firefox has the most features is the most convenient.
