Zotero supports you in all steps of working with scientific literature. As it is open source, Zotero can be downloaded free of charge from the website https://www.zotero.org/. The reference management software can be used by anyone, regardless of the operating system. Zotero also works together with word processing programmes (e.g. Word, Libre Office): the collected citations, thoughts and references are in the text with a click. At the end, Zotero automatically creates the bibliography.
Current dates can be found on our homepage.
Duration: approx. 60 minutes, binding registration required
Zotero MUST be installed before the course. Click here for the instructions
