Zotero is really good at this, but there is a certain GB limit for your PDF uploads. To go over this limit and upload more PDFs, you need to upgrade to a paid package.
@@alvarojesusbecerragonzalez6673 You need your own Cloud Storage that supports WebDav. It's a standardized protocol for data transfer so that any WebDav supporting app can access your files. I have a NextCloud instance that does all my cloud stuff, and Zotero also accesses it.
Thank you so much for this video. I am just starting my DBA journey. While DBAs are known for not being research degrees per se, there is still a lot of research and the need for a reference manager. I found your channel this weekend while researching how to take better notes as a doctoral student. I have binge watched all your PhD videos. Not only have I gotten great tips for keeping track of my references for my DBA, but I also started using Zotero to keep track of my personal library I accumulated through my undergrad and Masters programs.
Amazing. Can't thank you enough for sharing this. This video and your Zotero/Notion integration video have totally streamlined my research process. I feel like I can study now rather than spending all my time staying organized. Thank you!
I’m just finished my degree in psychotherapy and I am a prolific reader possibly nerd. Live in Ireland. Love love this space. I held on to my knickers.
When Mendeley announced they are dropping I pad app, I felt so devastated. I tried to be on Zotero but the love for Mendeley was huge. This time after seeing your video I am sure I could marry with Zotero. Thanks Holly and Namastey from India.
What I find great about annotating with Zotero is that it keeps your pdf files clean, it stores them on zotero not on pdf file. You can even delete your annotations within the pdf file, the annotations in the note file will be kept associated and linked with the pdf and it’s relevant section. Also when you create note from annotation you can search and see it when reading another pdf from the menu on right. 😮
Thank you! Your videos are helping me a lot with organizing my master's thesis. I love your notion setup. May I ask how you created those colored boxes around your page list?
Your videos are so helpful, thank you!! What really annoys me about Goodnotes is that it doesn’t have a feature to export my annotations or filter annotations by colour….so Zotero app was a godsend 🤩
This is so helpful. I feel like I found you and your channel at the perfect time. I'm going into my third year as a PhD student this fall and this is a game changer as I start researching. Are there any other tech tips or general tips you have for students starting to research?
Hey Dorcas! I’m sorry for the late reply, thank you for the lovely message. I’m knee deep in writing right now so I have put the PhD advice videos on pause until the end of May but you’ll find more tech/general tips in my PhD Years 1 and 2 playlists on my channel homepage. Hope they help a little! X
I always love your videos they’re so helpful and have really brought my productivity to the next level. I was wondering though if you knew anything about the outline feature in Zotero and if you could do a video on it and how you use it?
4:17 Very helpful, have been struggling to find a method to perform notation of older/scanned imaged pdfs. Is zotero, or any other recommended apps for that matter, also capable of extracting selected texts from older/scanned image pdf documents?
Hi loved the video and i hope to incorporate this in my workflow as an undergraduate. I had a question however on how to setup the date added filter. Thanks!
@@HollyJaneYT id like to have the property of date added from the zotero database added/copied automatically to notion but im not sure how to go about this
Hey! Yeah, I’ve tried obsidian. It’s super impressive and powerful. Can highly recommend it. Personally, I prefer the Notion user interface but to each their own :)
Hi. Could you search your handwriting on your macbook via annotation? I am using windows laptop and I can't search my handwriting notes on annotations, only highlighted annotations are available.
Holly, I have a doubt related to space. Do you need to have the PDF to use these features, don't you? I've already reached my limit and atm I cannot afford to pay for more space, so I'm taking notes through other apps (I don't use Apple ecosystem) and then sending my notes from articles to both Notion and Obsidian through Readwise. However, since I've sync both apps to Zotero, having the ability of carrying out the majority of my workflow in the fewer apps as possible would be great. Thank you for these kind of videos. I enjoyed them so much and I always take some ideas. Hope you have a great week. See you on the next study session. 🤗😘
Noelia, so sorry for the delay here - ruclips.net/video/_Fjhad-Z61o/видео.html check out this guy's content, he shows how he uses a different storage space so he doens't pay for the Zotero upgrade!
Many thanks Holly for this great video. I noticed you have Zotero | notion folder and Notion | Zotero folder, Is that mean you can sync from notion to Zotero also ?
Hey Amir! No, you can't sync back, unfortunately. I have that folder in case I come across new readings while making notes in Notion from existing references. I go back to that folder when I need to transfer them over!
Hello ma'am. Love from India! When a file is synced from zotero in notion through notero, does it automatically sync the parent metadata? I am on Windows11 machine with Zotero 6.0.
Hi friend. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that question as it applies to Windows... I am a Mac user myself, you see. I'm sorry to not be able to help!
That’s a super point, and it’s discussed in other parts of the comments, I believe. There’s another content creator who shows you how to change the storage space from Zotero to a cloud-based folder which I believe helps with the storage space issue if you don’t pay for Zotero premium. Let me find that for you and let me know if it helps!
@@HollyJaneYT Ok it looks like I have to turn my attachment into a parent item in order for it to work. A zotero forum admin member said they would change it in the future so that they can also do it on attachments. Thank you for a great video and for responding!
Hi Holly, I have a question for you. I've found that Zotero has the free limitation of 300 mb. How do you deal with it? You pay for the subscription or you store your media in the cloud? I think the best for me would be to have a folder in my Google Drive to store all this data and i've done it, but it doesn't work on my iPad. The only way to have access to the files on iPad is by the official Zotero storage or there is also a free way? Thanks, I hope to have been clear enough.
There is definitely a free way - check out this creator's workflow, he goes through it, even though he uses Obsidian. It should help! ruclips.net/video/_Fjhad-Z61o/видео.html
Zotero is really good at this, but there is a certain GB limit for your PDF uploads. To go over this limit and upload more PDFs, you need to upgrade to a paid package.
I did not know this - thank you for the heads up!
What I do is keep all my PDF's on Google Drive and just link to the files instead of storing them on Zotero. You can use any cloud service for this.
@@mustafac.8346 what is webdav? how can i use it and what limitations does it have?

I use Zotero and am so happy they added the annotation features. I also love your videos! They are so colorful and informative.
Thanks, Amberly 🙂 Glad you like them!
I’m just finished my degree in psychotherapy and I am a prolific reader possibly nerd. Live in Ireland. Love love this space. I held on to my knickers.
I fell in love with Zotero the minute I started using it. I’m going to get an iPad just for Zotero no kidding 😂
Honestly… I endorse this life choice 😈😝

I too made the switch and could be happier
Thank you for all your helpful and fun videos Holly! It’s so nice to learn how a fellow non-science PhD student does things. 😊
Thank you for the lovely words, Holly! Glad to share some tips I pick up along the way 🙂🙂
I nearly dropped my coffee when I heard you say musicology! I thank the RUclips algorithm for bringing me to your channel 😁 I'm in my third year
Yay! Musicology for the win! :)
Very helpful. New to Zotero and just starting my research studies. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, Holly. I already knew and used notes in Zotero, but add this annotation file ... WOW!!!! Thanks for sharing!

Zotero is absolutely underrated app. I prefer it instead if notability since of its amazing sync and reference futures
Agreed!
OMG!!!!! this was mind-blowing!! just loved! thanks for sharing it!
So glad that you enjoyed it! 🤩
@@HollyJaneYT "i've just found out that Notero syncs the annotations straight into notion now! Is it Xmas?? it seems so :)
Thank you! Your videos are helping me a lot with organizing my master's thesis. I love your notion setup. May I ask how you created those colored boxes around your page list?
Thank you! Yes, you basically highlight an entire block (with no text in it) and right click - select highlight and the whole block should highlight!

what is the efficient way of inserting notes with their respective references from Zotero, say into word or overleaf?
For MS Word, you can use their Microsoft plug in. I've never used Overleaf so I cannot comment on that, I'm afraid.
Thanks for the video! Do you know if there's an equivalent for android tablets? The zotero app is not available for android I think
I'm afraid I don't know - sorry!
Hie im currently having challenges in using my Zotero on iPad 2020. Please assist
Try the Zotero community page on their website - hope that helps!
the annotations on Zotero are not readable from other apps
