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.
I watched over 50 videos and literally nothing valuable! Now I just watched 12 minutes and I’m almost done!!! If I couldn’t find his tutorial video I would pass out tonight! Thank you 🙏🏻 you did an awesome job 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

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!
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.
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.
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.
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
This was extremely helpful! I almost fell out of my chair with the word bibliography!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I wish I had found you earlier but now is just as good. A must for a doctoral journey!
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.
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
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!
Thank you for this video, as a beginner in the research area, I need to familiarise myself with this application. Your presentation helps me to move forward.
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
Great presentation. Thank you so much for making this video. I have been using Zotero for over a year now but after watching your video, I am now able to maximize this app. Thanks again!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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..
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?

Thank you, I already use zotero but there are so many features i was unaware of before now.
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

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

Do you have any materials which compare and contrast the benefits (and glitches) of Zotero and Mendeley?
Excellent presentation and greetings from Caracas-Venezuela
Thank you so much for this great video!
Thank you so much for the helpful tips on Zotero.
Happy to help!

Question: What does the Lit Review Catalogue & Matrix do that is an improvement over Zotero?
This is perfect
Thanks a lot
Did you ever set up a tutorial you mentioned in the video about using Zotero with Microsoft Word?
Thank you, Sir
You are welcome
