Instructions
If a reference was added to Zotero from Google Scholar, a database or another Web site, it may have a link that will bring you back to it online where you can locate the full-text.
- Double-click on a reference in your Zotero library
- If the reference has a link or a DOI, a page will open in your browser
- If the reference does not have a link or DOI, nothing will happen
- If a page displaying a link to the full-text appears, click the Zotero icon in your browser to save the reference and the full-text (note, that in some cases, links lead to the original database without the full-text in which case you need to click on the "afficher/get it" link to locate the full-text)
- Return to Zotero and delete the original reference without the PDF
