hello guys in this video i am going to show you how to install
zotero reference manager software , citations and bibliography with it in microsoft word
let's go to its official website and download it this is the official website of zotero zotero.org
this software is available for all the operating system however i'll download it for window machine
make sure you also download zotero connector for your browser installation is pretty simple just
follow the prompt and do it i'll directly go to the zotero software and show you
how this would work for you you can see it has a clear looking uncluttered interface on the
left side there are a number of folders in the middle you would see citations or references
or papers that you would import to your zotero software and on the right side information related
to your papers or references would appear there are three methods by which you can add citations
or references into your zotero software first one is manual for example click on this plus button
whatever source you are using click over it let me do it for journal article and here you can fill in
the information manually i would recommend you not to use this method is it would take too much time
the other method is through isbns duis and pm ids let me show you how this would be done i have this
paper and i would like to add its reference to my zotero software and this is the pubmed identifier
i would copy it go to zotero and click on this button paste the code and click enter
here you can see zotero has automatically picked up the related information the other
method of adding your entries into zotero is through your browser let me open my browser
now i have opened this paper in google scholar and i would like to add its entry or its
reference into my zotero software so this is the extension that you have already installed in your
browser click over it click over the paper that you would like to add an outlook and determine
battery technology click ok choose the folder you would like to add the information to let me
add it to my thesis click done here you can see that a reference has been added let me do it for
few more papers now here you can see that i have added a few more references to my thesis folder
it must be noted that not in all cases full text is available for example here you can see
that full text snapshot and in this case in this case you can see that full text is available as
pdf so these are the three methods by which you can add references to your thesis or book or
whatever document you are working on before adding references or citations in your thesis or paper
make sure you go to edit and install microsoft word add-in after installing it you would see
you can see that it would appear over here zotero you can also drop a pdf paper into it and it would
automatically pick up the necessary information from the internet for example i have some papers
let me add it to zotero i would click and drag it into the window and here you can see that it
has been added automatically and zotero has picked up all the necessary information from the internet
let me show you how would you do the citations and referencing in your paper book or thesis
let me cite this paper into my thesis make sure you have read the paper made some notes and
put those notes into your microsoft word now these are the information that i have collected from the
paper and i would like to cite the paper over here i would go to zotero add citations for this icon
classic view and this is actually the paper that i i'm going to cite i would click ok and here you
can see that it has been cited let me show you for a few more papers again i have read the paper
i made some notes and i'm going to put my notes over here and let me cite it i would go to site
click classic and i would click over it click ok you can also add multiple
references at the same time for example i have gathered these information from
three papers so i'm going to cite all the three papers in one go again go to add edit citation

added this is how in-text citation is done let me show you how would you add bibliography put
your cursor where you want your bibliographic data to appear and now click on add edit bibliography
