Bibliographic data management and data analysis with ZOTERO
- 1. „Von der Literaturverwaltung zum kollaborativen Datenmanagement – ZOTERO für Einsteiger und Fortgeschrittene“ MONIKA BARGET, IEG MAINZ, 23RD SEPTEMBER 2019
- 2. 1) Why bibliographical databases? Cite as you write. Easily fix incomplete data or spelling mistakes in all footnotes/endnotes at once. Export bibliographical references in any citation style required by your publisher. Handle sources and secondary works in multiple languages. Create customised publication styles if you are a book or journal editor. Make co-authoring more efficient.
- 3. 2) Why use ZOTERO? Do not worry about licence fees and institutional limitations. Join an active community of users and developers. Collaboratively use and edit bibliographical data with other researchers. Feature requests can be shared with the developers at any time.
- 4. 3) How do I get started? Create account and access ZOTERO via FIREFOX Download stand-alone version
- 5. 4) How can I import references to ZOTERO? Many digital library catalogues offer export functions for single or multiple references to different formats. Get the ZOTERO browser add-on to grab data directly from websites. Import your libraries from other software as BibTex, XML or other.
- 6. 5) How can I sort and tag my data? Create folders and subfolders. Move files via „drag&drop“. Get rid of duplicates and find „orphaned“ data. Use the „tag selector“ to rename, delete or add new tags. Use the colour scheme to highlight tagged items. Check archive-defined and user-defined tags in the „tag“ tab.
- 7. 6) How can I share data or edit data collaboratively? Export individual items or whole folders as a reading list that can be copied into WORD. Create or join a ZOTERO group and invite new members.
- 8. 7) How can I adjust my references to various (international) citation styles? Update your „Document Preferences“ in the WORD plug-in. Different citation styles (also for individual publishing houses or journals) can be chosen from the standard menu or added later. Chose the right language settings for each document (source language must be added for each item beforehand). Post a „style request“ in the forums.
- 9. 8) Create and share your own style! Follow the instructions on https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/ citation_styles/style_editing_step-by- step. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance in one of the forums. Notify your collaborators and the ZOTERO community that a new style is available.
- 10. 9) How can I use ZOTERO for data analysis? Export ZOTERO libraries as structured data in various formats, many of which include tags and user notes.
