Availability of space to record notes and important points about a article to get them in short time without going through the whole paper is the main feature of zotero that we love the best. There are also other features of zotero like tagging and sorting an article with various importance and quality that are best of zotero. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing much that is to dislike with zotero but their look and feel can be improved and the unavailability of internal PDF Viewer is something that I dislike with zotero. With better looks and internal PDF Viewer Zotero will receive 10 on 10 in this review Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can easily use Zotero to create citations straight through my browser, with the click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes run into difficulties where the paper I am trying to cite from the browser doesn't connect with the Zotero app on my computer, in which case I have to restart the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite things about Zotero include that it is free and open source software, it is pretty easy to use, it automatically saves PDFs and other files, it can easily import metadata, and it saves a screenshot of the website I save. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of my least favorite things about Zotero is that the interface is a little bland, and you must have it downloaded and installed on a device you are using it on. Full functionality is not available in the web version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zotero organizes all my research papers. I love that it automatically syncs my papers to my account so I have all my research with me wherever I am. I also really like the citations features, which lets me import citations into word.It's also nice that I can search through all entries as well as keep papers in multiple folders. These two options help me organize everything. I like that you can update entry names based upon pdf metadata. This makes it way easier to get all the information for a paper because the whole process is automated. If I had to pick just one feature as my favorite, it would be that I can click the zotero button on my browser to automatically add a paper to my library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like an easier way to use tags, like maybe a color coding or something. I also think it would be nice to create an arbitrary sorting method for creating a bibliography, so that references were ordered the way I list them in the paper I am writing. Like maybe I could put a 1,2,3,etc. next to each paper in another column. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zotero provides access to all collected papers, articles and books from anywhere and you do not need to be working on your desktop/laptop. Zotero also helps me to organize my articles in different folders for my different assignments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, the referencing does not come up in an uniform way even if I select the same style, mainly if there are multiple authors. Like I use APA style for my papers and sometimes when there are multiple authors, it will take "et all" and sometimes it will have all their surnames which are confusing.

It serves as a place where I can keep all of my citations and resources. I like that I can categorize them and search based on category. I like that it will retrieve metadata for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really feel like I don't know how to use very much of the features. Have had trouble before even exporting a bibliography. I have not been able to figure out how to utilize Zotero as a plug-in within my word documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the software saves all your documents without taking memory on your computer, easily accessible from all devices, great to use with Word extension, I love that it cites in correct format and keeps track of citations to create a bibliography for you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the software is no longer connected to firefox and now i must use the standalone version to monitor my articles, it is more difficult and more effort than before. all my negative comments are because of this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Back in college I used Zotero for everything. Its seamless Firefox integration and later integration with Word were exactly what I needed, and unlike EndNote, I could install it on all my own devices with no trouble and no fees. I now use it very occasionally to curate my personal reference library, and it's still got the magic, although I no longer use the advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While many, many custom styles were available, it was a HUGE pain to start from one of these and modify it slightly. This may have changed, since I rarely need to cite in a specific, obscure style these days -- it's worth a look.

Also, everyone else uses EndNote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was originally very leery of this software because the librarians at my university used to push so hard for students to use it. Normally, the content they suggested would crash my faulty laptop and then not even work once it was installed.

This software, on the other hand, is amazing and makes citing sources a breeze. Especially when you've been toggling between too many internet tabs and you can't keep them straight anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took me a little longer than I expected to learn how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zotero has been easy to install, use, and integrate with my web browser to create editable citations in a multitude of formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't understand much about how it uses proxies, but that hasn't been a hinderance to my use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
