Always double check the citation information once it is uploaded into Zotero. Make sure things such as page numbers and all authors transferred over so your citations are correct.
Take advantage of tags/folders to sort your references to make finding them when writing your paper easier. Sort them by project, themes, time period, etc. Use whatever works best for your research.
Zotero in a Word Document
Some Key Points Include:
Open Zotero before opening Microsoft Word so Zotero is properly linked.
Any changes to citations must be done in Zotero. Do not try to save them in Word as they will continue to revert back to the information found in Zotero.
