Zotero: ZoteroBib

A short introduction to Zotero reference management software

ZoteroBib

ZoteroBib is a fast and free way to create a bibliography without needing to download the Zotero app or register for an account.

You can begin by entering a DOI, URL, or title then press ‘Cite’.

Otherwise, you can choose ‘Manual Entry’ then enter the reference details and press ‘Done’ when finished.

To change to referencing style, click on the current style under Bibliography and click on ‘10,000+ other styles available’.

For Harvard Bath, start entering ‘Bath’ and the option will come up then press ‘Add’.

To create a citation, click on the speech marks next to a reference and it will copy a citation to your clipboard.

Or if you want to copy the whole bibliography click on ‘copy to clipboard’.

If you want to upload the bibliography into reference management software, click on the down arrow next to ‘copy to clipboard’ and select ‘download RIS’ which will download a file that you can import into any reference management software. If you are re using Zotero Chrome Connector, you can save the references using the add to library button in your toolbar (see adding references from the Chrome Zotero Connector for more on this).
