Zotero citation management: Groups (sharing citations)

Zotero is a free citation manager. This page offers information that will help you create and build a Zotero library, create and use groups to collaborate, and use Zotero to add properly formatted citations to your papers.

Group Projects

 

What can groups do for you?

With groups, you can collaborate remotely with project members, set up web-based bibliographies for classes you teach, and so much more.

  • Share your work or sources you have discovered with others who are working in related areas.
  • Collaborate with colleagues, publicly or privately, on ongoing research.
  • Discover other people with similar interests and the sources they are citing.

How to Create a Group

How to create a group...

  1. Log in at Zotero.org.
  2. Create a new group - Two types of groups....
    • Private: create for specific individuals (ideal for small groups). If you plan to share files (e.g. article PDFs), the group MUST be private when created (not after the fact).
    • Public: Anyone may create a public group, and you may search for existing public groups (specific  interest). NOTE: Public groups ONLY allow sharing of citations, not files (e.g. PDFs).
