Zotero Connector

Save references to Zotero from your web browser

What is Zotero Connector?

"Zotero Connector" is a handy browser tool that simplifies your web-based study or research work. It auto-detects content and allows you to add references to your Zotero library with one click. Besides saving PDFs and webpage snapshots, it also aids in accessing gated content via your institutional web proxy. Although it can function independently, for advanced features like automatic citation insertion into documents and efficient reference organization, use it with the Zotero desktop app.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Zotero is a free, easy-to-use, open-source tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research.

The Zotero Connector automatically senses content as you browse the web and allows you to save items to Zotero with a single click. If a PDF is available, the Connector can save it to your library to read later, and it can even save snapshots of webpages in case they change or disappear. Whether you're searching for a preprint on arXiv.org, a journal article from JSTOR, a news story from the New York Times, or a book from your university library catalog, Zotero has you covered with support for thousands of sites.

Additionally, if you use a web-based proxy to access resources your institution subscribes to, the Zotero Connector can automatically redirect you through the proxy when you follow links to those sites from elsewhere on the web, making sure that you always have access to PDFs and other gated content.

While the Connector can save most pages directly to your zotero.org account, for the full Zotero experience be sure to install the Zotero desktop app, which allows you to organize your references efficiently, insert citations automatically into Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs, and much more. You can download Zotero for free from https://www.zotero.org/download

We are happy to help with any issues you encounter with the Zotero Connector, but we cannot do so through the Chrome Web Store. For bug reports, questions, comments, or help, please visit https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_help

Research is a process of systematic inquiry to answer a question that not only the researcher but also others want to solve. In Turabian style, the meaning of research can be articulated as a systematic study conducted to establish facts and reach new conclusions or develop new theories. Creswell defines research as "a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue" (Creswell 2014, 3). Also, Booth, Colomb, and Williams describe research as "a systematic inquiry into a subject to discover or revise facts, theories, applications, etc." (Booth, Colomb, and Williams 2008, 11).
