You can organise your references in Zotero by using Collections and Tags.
You may wish to create a new collection for each topic you are studying or for each of your modules. One reference can be in multiple collections. So, for example if you used the book Early Childhood Education & Care by Máire Mhic Mhathúna in two of your essays, you can add it to two collections.
You can set up a group in Zotero to share a separate library of references with classmates. This can be helpful when you are completing a group project. It is recommended that you create Private groups for use within college, so group members can be invited to join, and you can restrict who has access. Remember to give you group a descriptive name so you can identify it easily among your groups. Find out more information about using groups on the Zotero website: https://www.zotero.org/support/groups
You can use Zotero to generate a list of references, like the one you need at the end of your essay. Having your references in collections for an essay makes this very easy. To generate your reference list, follow these steps:
You need to list all of the works you have cited in your essay in one list at the end of your essay. Title this list “References”. You cannot list anything in your references that you have not cited in your essay, even if you have read the book/article during your research.
Your reference list should be arranged alphabetically by the first word of the reference, which is usually the author's last name.
Your reference list should be formatted with a hanging indent, so it should look like this:
Installing the Zotero plugin adds a Zotero tab to Microsoft Word. This can be used when writing essays to add in-text citations and to generate your reference list. You find more information and the link to download the plugin here: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage
When you are writing your essay, you must cite any research you use. You can use Zotero to help you. To insert an in-text citation, follow these steps:
If you have used the “Cite While You Write” function (described above) while writing your essay, Zotero can automatically generate your reference list. To do so, follow these steps:
