Instructions

It might be more practical to try to find a result where the full-text PDF copy is available such as a journal’s Web site or database results with the PDF. Doing so will enable you to save the reference as well as the full-text article as an attachment.

  1. From the results page or from the article page, click the single document icon located next to the browser’s address bar (the icon may vary depending on what type of document you are exporting to Zotero and the location of the icon may vary by browser)
  2. The reference and accompanying PDF, if available, should automatically be saved to your Zotero Library
