| | |
| | <note important> |
| | ''Zotero'' is a great tool but, for obvious security reasons, **you should not store your data in the ''Zotero'' cloud** (free or paying)\\ You can perfectly use ''Zotero'' without creating an account! More details below</note> |
| | |
| | * [[https://www.zotero.org/download/|Download]] and install ''Zotero'' |
| | * You should **avoid creating a ''Zotero'' account** and synchronizing your research data to an unknown cloud!\\ Zotero will work perfectly without creating an account |
| | |
| | * [[https://www.zotero.org/download/|Download]] and install the ''Zotero Connector'' extension in the current browser (and possibly all the other browsers you regularly use) |
| | * //Zotero Connectors automatically sense content as you browse the web and allow you to save it to Zotero with a single click// |
| | * Note: ''Zotero'' must be running when you click on the connector button in your browser (but you will be reminded by a popup, if that's not the case) |
| | |
| | * Start ''Zotero'' for the first time, and update some basic preferences (''Edit'' => ''Preferences'') |
| | * Language: ''Advanced'' => ''Language'' => ''English'' |
| | * Main ''Zotero'' folder: |
| | * This is the **local folder** where all of the ''Zotero'' data (except the settings) will be stored: database, documents (pdf, ...) |
| | * ''Zotero'' only needs a //local// folder in order to work on a given computer. You do not need a //Zotero cloud account// |
| | * Default //local folder// location (on Windows): ''C:\Users\<your_login>\Zotero'' |
| | * Moving the //local folder// to a known location (preferably outside of the ''C:\'' drive on Windows) will make it easier to create a backup of ''Zotero'' data (and restore/move the data to another computer), and synchronize ''Zotero'' data between computers without having to use a ''Zotero'' account |
| | * Recommended new locations for the //local folder//: |
| | * A sub-directory of your [[other:win10config#the_most_important_folders|Local OWNCLOUD FOLDER]], if you have [[other:lsce_cloud|configured LSCE sharebox and ownCloud]]\\ ''<some_disk_different_from_c>:\Users\<your_login>_owncloud\Zotero'' |
| | * If you use ownCloud+sharebox to synchronize ''Zotero'' data between different computers, you should have only one version of Zotero running, in order to avoid synchronization conflicts!\\ i.e. **be sure to close ''Zotero'' on a computer before shutting down the computer and using Zotero on your other computer** |
| | * Or a sub-directory of your [[other:win10config#the_most_important_folders|Local HOME FOLDER]]\\ ''<some_disk_different_from_c>:\Users\<your_login>\Zotero'' |
| | * Change the ''Zotero'' local folder location in ''Advanced'' => ''Files and Folders'' => ''Data Directory Location'': |
| | * Specify the new location (ideally one of the folders in the //Recommended locations// above) in the ''Custom'' field |
| | * **Quit ''Zotero''** |
| | * Move data to the new location |
| | * New ''Zotero'' user: move the full content of the default ''Zotero'' folder (''C:\Users\<your_login>\Zotero'' on Windows) to the new location |
| | * Existing user: move the existing ''Zotero'' content (coming from another computer or a backup) to the selected //Custom// location |
| | * Restart ''Zotero'' |
| | * More details in [[https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data|The Zotero Data Directory]] page |
| | |
| | * Use ''Zotero'' to easily add bibliographies to your documents! |
| | * Supported word processors: [[https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_integration|Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs]] |
| | * If your favorite word processor is not supported, you can still [[https://www.zotero.org/support/creating_bibliographies#right-click_to_create_citationbibliography|copy a bibliography to the clipboard]] and paste it in a document |
| | * ''Zotero'' must be running when you use the plugin in the supported processors! |
| | * The word processor should display a warning popup if you have forgotten to start ''Zotero'' |
