Zotero is a free, easy-to-use, open-source tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research.
The Zotero Connector automatically senses content as you browse the web and allows you to save items to Zotero with a single click. If a PDF is available, the Connector can save it to your library to read later, and it can even save snapshots of webpages in case they change or disappear. Whether you're searching for a preprint on arXiv.org, a journal article from JSTOR, a news story from the New York Times, or a book from your university library catalog, Zotero has you covered with support for thousands of sites.
Additionally, if you use a web-based proxy to access resources your institution subscribes to, the Zotero Connector can automatically redirect you through the proxy when you follow links to those sites from elsewhere on the web, making sure that you always have access to PDFs and other gated content.
While the Connector can save most pages directly to your zotero.org account, for the full Zotero experience be sure to install the Zotero desktop app, which allows you to organize your references efficiently, insert citations automatically into Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs, and much more. You can download Zotero for free from https://www.zotero.org/download
We are happy to help with any issues you encounter with the Zotero Connector, but we cannot do so through the Chrome Web Store. For bug reports, questions, comments, or help, please visit https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_help

- Elana Zilberg
- Was working well for me until I realized that not all sites offer Zotero in the citation software download menu. I looked up the issue on the web and downloaded the plugin as instructed. It's turned on under Chrome Extensions but the problem remains. Any thoughts?
- Shikang
- Excellent integration to Zotero, I use it all the time for my literature review! Super helpful
- IDOWU HEZEKIAH OJO
- Please I am unable to save documents again through chrome to Zotero
- Beki McElvain
- I've used this since it first came out and rely on it heavily for research and teaching. But since 2026, it cannot seem to consistently pull author names, dates, and other critical data from sites correctly. It often just grabs words at random, resulting in confidently wrong information. I can't help but suspect this is due to some AI integration Zotero is using. Maybe I'm wrong about that bit, but regardless of why, Zotero Connector sucks now.
- Joe Qiao
- It is recommended by the fans in Redbook which is one of the most popular platform in China. I have installed the tool while I have no choice of how to use it surfing the Internet.I hope that I can helped by more specific and clearly instruction.
- Joseph Michael
- I love using this app. It saves of great amount of time leaving me with enough time to focus on other aspect of the literature review. A big "thank you" to the team
- Ashley Brereton
- This is good in principle, but if you look at your citations in Google docs with the wrong facial expression, there's a 95% chance they will unlink - good luck figuring out how to link them - your time is better spent adding the citations one by one from scratch...
- Amos Kamweru
- I think it has a very huge potential for being a very useful tool for bookworms.

- Christopher Tyler Short
- I feel like I used to be able to assign a folder when saving a paper, but I don't seem to be able to do that anymore. Is that a feature that went away?

- Doesn't work if you don't give it access to read all websites. That's an unacceptable security risk. Don't use this.

- Anaí Tobias
- It worked very well, but yesterday Zotero updated to version 8.0.3 (64-bit), and the new version in text citations is horrendous, the Font format and colour do not follow the text anymore, and the layout is not intuitive anymore. Sadly, I will have to move to another reference management tool :(
- Robert Mtonga
- I am finding it interesting to use
- Yadav Singh Dhami (Yadu)
- Best tool available out there. Keep updating the application.
- Melissa Robertson
- Not user friendly at all, also not reliable
- Animesh

- Frank Plange Banascoe
- Amazing
- Lanchenbi Sallam
- good
- Christina Bachman
- It is not user friendly and there is no "how to..." anywhere as far as I can see. If you want all readings in one folder it will be useful, but if you need to organize your readings...good luck.
