Open Zotero, go to Preferences, select Cite from the menu, select Word Processors, and click Install Microsoft Word Add-in. Zotero will prompt you to select a citation style, e.g. You should see something like this: Go to where you need a citation, and click Add/edit citation. Your bibliography will appear, and new citations will be added automatically. You can begin citing by clicking the (“Add/Edit Zotero Citation”) button in the Google Docs toolbar or by selecting “Add/Edit Citation” from the Zotero menu, both of which will bring up the citation dialog. Add/Edit Citation This option allows you to add a new citation or edit an existing citation in your document where your cursor is located. There is a Zotero drop-down menu where you can add a citation, add a bibliography, and change the citation format of your document. Next, I type either the author’s name or the title and then click the correct resource. make the document fresh and clean to send to anyone else.) The plugin adds a Zotero toolbar to your word processor that allows you to add citations to your document while you write. If you’re using Google Chrome and have already installed the plug-in for Google Chrome, a Zotero icon will appear in your Google docs toolbar (letter Z next to formatting options). Zotero is an open-source tool which allows you to collect, organize, cite, and share research sources easily, using a web browser extension along with a stand-alone program on your computer.
