You can also import from other tools, such as Reference Manager, RefWorks, Papers, Google Scholar Library, ReadCube, etc., by exporting to a standardized reference format, such as RIS, BibTeX, or CSL JSON, and then importing into Zotero by clicking File → “Import…” and choose “A file”.
A full list of file formats Zotero can import is available here.
