Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is a free citation management tool used to store, organize, and cite scholarly resources. 


With Zotero, you can save PDF documents of journal articles with relevant information, make notes, and organize them into collections. With Microsoft Word or Google Docs, when writing academic papers, you can use Zotero to create citations and accompanying dynamic reference lists.
