This is a funny case of a self written manual which I came back to multiple times myself and many many more times referred my friends to it, even non-Russian speakers who had to use Google Translator and infer the rest from screenshots. The post shows how to organize a personal academic library of unlimited size for free. Finally, make your adjustments to the bibliography text.Here is a bit refreshed translation of my 2015 blog post. Then, click the “Unlink Citations” button ( ) to disconnect your document from Zotero and convert all citations and the bibliography to regular text. First, save a backup copy of the document. If you need to edit items in your bibliography, it is best to do this as a final step before submitting the document. Editing references here is also somewhat unreliable several users have reported that modifications made here sometimes do not persist when Zotero references, among other issues. References edited here will not be automatically updated by Zotero if you change the data in your library. While it is also possible to edit the text or formatting of bibliography references in this window, doing so is discouraged. You can then use the arrows to add or remove items.
To do this, click the “Add/Edit Bibliography” ( ) button again to open the Edit Bibliography window: In rare cases, however, you may want to add uncited sources to your bibliography (e.g., items included in a review but not cited in the paper) or remove items that are cited in text but which should not be included in the bibliography (e.g., personal communications).

Orphaned items can exist if they were inserted by a collaborator from their My Library or a group you don't have access to or if you they were deleted from your Zotero library.Īs you add and remove citations in the document, Zotero will automatically update the bibliography to reflect your changes. Items that are orphaned (not connected to any items in your Zotero database) will not have an “Open in My Library” button.
In the Add Citation dialog box, you can click on the bubble for a cited item, then click “Open in My Library (or the Group Library's name)” to view the item in Zotero. Press Enter/Return again to insert the citation and close the Add Citation box. The item will appear in the dialog box in a shaded bubble. Select an item by clicking on it or by pressing Enter/Return when it is highlighted. Items you have already cited in the document will be shown at the top of the list under “Cited”. Matching items will be shown for each library in your Zotero database (My Library and any groups you are part of). Matching items will instantly appear below the dialog box. Start typing part of a title, the last names of one or more authors, and/or a year in the dialog box. The citation dialog is used to select items from your Zotero library, and create a citation. Pressing the button brings up the citation dialog. You can begin citing with Zotero by clicking the “Add/Edit Citation” ( ) button.
