Reading academic papers is an essential part of study for graduate students, especially when you write the introduction or the discussion for papers or thesis. It is a good idea to keep an organized record of the references you read or want to read. Citation management tools help you work efficiently and avoid duplication of effort, but not everyone knows how to get started. In this 50-min seminar, I will guide you through the basics of using Zotero. In particular, after the workshop, you will know how to import a reference to Zotero with one click, how to take notes for each paper in Zotero, how to organize and search within your literature collection in Zotero, and how to export selected references into a .bib file.
