ZOTERO

The course “Managing Citations and Bibliographies with Zotero” offers a hands-on learning path to master Zotero, an essential tool for organizing and managing bibliographic references.

Designed for students, researchers, and anyone working with bibliographic sources, the sessions guide participants step by step—from navigating the interface, to entering and organizing citations, to automatically generating bibliographies in their documents.

Participants will gain practical skills to integrate Zotero into their academic workflow and improve the management of sources in their research.
