I've been a researcher for over 30 years and have written nearly 100 papers... this video was really helpful for me too! I am being forced to publish in a journal that uses the awful numbered reference format and numbering it manually was not an option, so I finally had to come to grips with referencing software. This video led me through it nicely. Using it confirms my view that such software really isn't worth the effort because it throws in way too many errors, and it's quicker and more accurate to just do it manually. It's easy to spot when someone uses such software as EndNote because of all the mistakes. Lesson re-learnt.... never publish in a journal that uses numbered references. It's a dumb format and writing this paper has been a uniquely unpleasant experience.
Great video. I have found your videos very straightforward and clear with enough information to help me gain a level of competence with what you are discussing. Thank you. I am a PhD student trying to decide between Mendeley and Zotero. I've set up my Mendeley account and found it to be a bit glitchy in terms of actually being able to pull metadata and PDFs using the Mendeley Web Importer. While I like the look and feel of Mendeley, this has posed a bit of a challenge for me. I'm not sure how good a job Zotero does in gathering metadata and grabbing PDFs - how does Zotero compare to Mendeley in this regard? Also, I have a concern that if I have both Mendeley and Zotero installed simultaneously on my computer I may run into issues, especially if I have both Microsoft Word plugins installed. Any input about whether I should only use one app at a time? I've watched RUclips videos made by people who strongly encourage Zotero and other videos by those who like Mendeley better. Do you have a personal preference between the two? Why would you use one over the other? By the way, I think a video on how to use Zotero in Microsoft Word would be useful. Thanks again for an excellent video!
From the other grad students I've spoken to, Mendeley used to be highly recommended until it was bought out by another company which is when all of the difficulties with pulling metadata came into play. They swear by Zotero now and say it's much easier specifically for the PDF issue you brought up. I haven't used Mendeley myself but a few trusted friends now recommend against it.
Thank you so much! It is really helpful! I have a question: How do we add Zotero option to word? If I open one of my documents, I cannot see Zotero up in my document, and therefore, I cannot operate with Zotero in my word to add references or create a reference list. Thank you so much! Really appreciate for your videos and your help.
This was helpful. I keep getting an error message when I go to add a new in text citation. Maybe this is due to my adding them to the bibliography too early? I like to add them right away however. Any tips on navigating these unexpected messages that pop up? I follow your steps, but the zotero program doesn't like to let go of the previous citation...If I get a response I'll share the exact message! I am using a Microsoft word application through my university....for a literature review on pesticides. Also, some pdfs sources don't automatically fill in the correct data so I must manually do that if I am to use the source.
Are there variations in any reference tools which allow for differences in style formats at different levels of complexity, or must the extra levels be adjusted "by hand"? I am thinking specifically of Vancouver (and others) which are organized around the order of appearance in the document, not around an alpha organization? The issue seems even more complex for Vancouver because there is a sub level of organization (within a set of citations in the same paren) which is first, "order of appearance", but then if there are multiple citations within that same paren, which are first appearing at that same point -- are indeed alpha organized within that paren. Does this make sense?
Is there an easy way to add items to a Reference list which are not traditional Journal articles? Maybe add in by hand? Maybe save to another Word Processor after composing the initial list? But all the numbers need to change for other citation items in the same list if additional items are inserted . ..
This video mises to mention how to catalog website sources like news articles. Do we need to save the web pages as PDFs? Or there is an option for URLs?
Thank you please produce a tutorial on MS word .... Secondly with this automated import, are the citations and references in an author's document also imported or just those of authors of the first hand document
One think Zotero misses, is relation visualization. Ot would be nice if you could see the “father” articles and the “child” articles without having to use some external web-program like litmaps. Litmaps is usefull for finding articles to read, but sometimes I want just to see the evolution of an argument in the literature I have allready. So is I have three articles (A, B and C, and for example B is citing A and is cited by C) it would be nice to see the relation between them (so in the C’s relation tab I see A as a “father” article and c as a “child” article). I hope it is clear
Finally an easy to follow, clear and thorough GO TO lesson to get across Zotero! So grateful! Up to now I was pulling my hair out and going in circles. Now I feel way more confident. Thank you so much.
Hello Dear GradCoach. Thank you very much. WE ALL REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. Could you please do a tutorial specifically for Microsoft Word? Thank you very much in advance.
Yes a video on how to use Zotero with Microsoft Word would be very useful for me. Thank you for this excellent video. I did download the Literature Review Catalogue Template. I look forward to more videos.
Very helpful! We are required to use a template that's been formatted in Word for dissertations and theses. So it would be helpful to have a tutorial about how to use Zotero with MS Word. Thank you!
WIthin the bibliography, is it possible to only insert certain references? I'd like to save even my tertiary sources but obviously I would not have to put them in my bibliography.
oh my guness, this was soooooooooo helpful. I've probably watched over 5 videos and would stop midway coz they were either boring or i could not understand a word. this one was super dooper easy to understand and very easy to follow. thank u so much and instant follower.
could anyone help me please? what should i do if i want to link the citations once again to zotero library after unlinking them?.........i'm struggling and don't know what to do😫😫😫😫😫
This video is so helpful! Still I have one question, I saved my word document as a pdf and thought that I could click on the in-text citation and it will bring me directly to the reference list -but its not working :( Any ideas?
Hello Sir. Nice presentation. I have one doubt. How to access the files saved in a user's Zotero by an another user from other place while they are working as a group from different countries?
thank you for the tutorial. i am having problem with the citation on the windows because the zotero icon is not displayed on the microsoft word. please anyway out?
Beautifully done! One of my tips for the END of the process. Make a final copy that preserves the reference list citations links to Zotero, maybe with "links" in the filename. Then duplicate that file and remove the links for submission and sharing. No work lost!
In min. 15:53 the "free catalog" spreadsheet its '"view only". You are forced to register just to get a VIEW ONLY Google spreedsheer. No cool! The video says you can "Edit it'.
I'm in the last semester of my masters and have not a single time used a reference manager. I absolutely wish I had. I'm currently using zotero for my master's thesis and suddenly it's much more fun.
Your videos I've watched so far are great and extremely helpful, thank you so much!! However, you mention Mendeley in this video about Zotero, but you don't do the reverse in the video about Mendeley. Without having a clear picture of what is "the bit more" that Mendeley offers, this is _interesting_ to say the least.
I would love to see an update for Zotero so that when you get feedback and have to work on something like an academic dissertation multiple times, it could relink itself so that you do not have to keep a master copy of the paper so that all of your citations can sync up again. It is no fun having to go through the list every time to keep them in alphabetical order for APA, but that is just nitpicking, as this looks like it will help out a bunch.
Thank you for that excellent tutorial. But I still can't seem to figure out how I scan physical books with my phone Zotero app... What am I missing? :)
Nice job! You may also want to mention that unlinking is necessary when required to hyperlink resources. Towards the beginning, you do say Mendeley vs. Zotero..
Wow, much valued video, enriching. Got many new ideas, I recomend all to listen. You will learn a lot and your time will never go waste. Thank you for sharing.
Hi thank you for the comprehensive tutorial!!! i was looking for an alternative reference manager after endnote crushed twice!!! I will be using Zotero from now on
this is absolutely amazing. Before watching your video, i thought that zotero is just an app to store and quickly paste citations. While that is true, i didn't realize how powerful zotero can be. Thank you for making this video

I really love your tutorials, very simple and straight forward
Thanks alot GradCoach.... I keep mastering how to use this.
Glad to hear that!
This is very helpful. Thank you Derek! Shout out from SA 😀
Your tutorials are priceless, Thanks, man.
This video should be required watching for students that are doing research for the first time.

@@davidpeacock4632 So what better software are you suggesting if at all you're thrusting this?
I was not aware of the software. Thank you for your valuable information needed for Graduate School.
Tons of value. Thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the insight! It was clear and easy to follow.
Glad it was helpful!
Great demonstration, Thank you
You are welcome!
Information is very helpful for me. Thankyou

You saved my day with research, however when I use Mendeley with Ms word 2013, it doesn't appear on the reference tab
Best to engage with the Mendeley Support Center - service.elsevier.com/app/home/supporthub/mendeley/
Shuuuu thank you for this!
No problem 😊

me salvaste la vida, grax xoxoxo

I was shocked when they mentioned Mendeley in place of Zotero at 06:57. Then realised it was an error.
Did you ever set up a tutorial you mentioned in the video about using Zotero with Microsoft Word?
Can you do a video for online word
Great presentation. Would you please share the link for the zotero excel spreadsheet please?

This is super nice!
Glad you like it!
thank you !! 😨
You're welcome!!
Did you ever set up a tutorial on using Zotero with Microsoft Word?
Sotero doesn't provide an URL after highlighting a text inside a document, as Google Pinpoint does. Shame.
This video mises to mention how to catalog website sources like news articles. Do we need to save the web pages as PDFs? Or there is an option for URLs?
There is a site/URL option.
Zotero only read 2 out of 10 PDFs I upload. Now what?
Will this work in Safari?
Here's the relevant support page :)

Can't you do this with "tags" or "related" sources?

Thank you so much for your valued sharing. I have one question, how to deal with an unrecognized author once we upload it into the Zotero?
Question: What does the Lit Review Catalogue & Matrix do that is an improvement over Zotero?
Beautifully done! One of my tips for the END of the process. Make a final copy that preserves the reference list citations links to Zotero, maybe with "links" in the filename. Then duplicate that file and remove the links for submission and sharing. No work lost!
Greetings sir, I have imported a pdf journal on zotero but the references are not generating automatically

Great presentation,dear brother it helped me a lot. Thank you very much! Keep it up!
I like the video quality, could you please let me know the camera model?
If I recall correctly, we shot this with a Sony ZV1
As usual very informative! God bless all you.
Excellent video.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is perfect
Thanks a lot
Thank you for your comprehensive explanation of zotero features and the procedures how to use it. God bless!😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you.
Firefox and Chrome won't show the ZOTERO extension (connector) icon on top of the browser. Why?
Your videos I've watched so far are great and extremely helpful, thank you so much!!
However, you mention Mendeley in this video about Zotero, but you don't do the reverse in the video about Mendeley.
Without having a clear picture of what is "the bit more" that Mendeley offers, this is _interesting_ to say the least.

Very informative. Could you please tell me how to take permission to reproduce or adapt figures from journal publishers.
Best to contact the author directly for anything permission/reproduction-related :)
I would love to see an update for Zotero so that when you get feedback and have to work on something like an academic dissertation multiple times, it could relink itself so that you do not have to keep a master copy of the paper so that all of your citations can sync up again.

Thanks!
so helful video ....thank you so much
You are most welcome
Is there any option that links in-text citation with the exact place of full citation in bibliography?
and thanks for the video
splendid tutorial that doesn't fails to hammer nail to the head the how question
Is 7:01 a mistake?
Nice job! You may also want to mention that unlinking is necessary when required to hyperlink resources. Towards the beginning, you do say Mendeley vs. Zotero..
Wow, much valued video, enriching. Got many new ideas, I recomend all to listen. You will learn a lot and your time will never go waste. Thank you for sharing.
this tutorial was soo good that I subscribed out of enthusiasm, even though I m probably not interested in the rest of ther content! kudos
Hi thank you for the comprehensive tutorial!!! i was looking for an alternative reference manager after endnote crushed twice!!! I will be using Zotero from now on
Good job bro
🐶
Thanks. But you mentioned mendeley in the middle of this tutorial. Kindly correct it
This is really helpful!!! I was lost in a jungle, now I found a guidance to civilization!! Thank you!!!
this is absolutely amazing. Before watching your video, i thought that zotero is just an app to store and quickly paste citations. While that is true, i didn't realize how powerful zotero can be. Thank you for making this video

Thx you ❤
Thank you so much. I finally got the information and knowledge I have been seeking. You just made my day.
Salute!
