Zotero

One of the advantages of using Zotero is that it can help you organization all your research neatly. 

For each item that you add to Zotero, you should* have an:

• Item Record - this includes the available metadata for that item. This information is what Zotero uses to create a citation for the item including title, author, source, URL, abstract, and more. 

Nested underneath the Item Record will be a host of options. The most common are:

• File Link - often a PDF that can be automatically downloaded with the bibliographic information
• Snapshot (or screenshot) of the webpage - if you'd like to have it, you can turn this off if it's not helpful. 

And you have the option to add a variety of additional information about the Item including:

• Notes - a basic text tool to record any notes about that item and will appear attached to the specific Item Record
• Tags - for adding additional searching functionality for Items across folders
• Related - for creating relationships between different items.
