如果您使用微软的Word软件或LibreOffice/OpenOffice软件,Zotero的word插件可以让您在您的这些文档中直接添加引文及文献目录.

如果您只是想在一篇文章,邮件或博客文章中添加参考文献列表,最简捷的方法是使用Zotero的拖放—快速复制功能.在面板中栏中选中要添加的文献,将它们拖放到任意文本域,Zotero将自动为您生成参考文献列表.如果要添加引文(如, Ancilotto et al., 1997)而不是文献列表,在拖放前按住Shift键.

设置快速复制的格式,点击操作菜单(齿轮状图标)并选择首选项.在弹出的首选项窗口中选择导出标签页.在此标签页下,您可以设置以下参数:

• 设置默认的输出格式(如国标GB/T 7714-2005)
• 设置网站的输出参数
• 指定Zotero复制时是否包含HTML标记

您也可以使用快速复制的快捷键将引文及文献列表复制到粘贴板上,然后在文档中粘贴.查看首选项面板中的默认快捷键设置.

To create a bibliography in Zotero, highlight one or more references and then right-click (or control-click on Macs) to select “Create Bibliography from Selected Item(s).” Then select a citation style for your bibliography format and choose one of the following four ways to create your bibliography:

• Save as RTF will allow you to save the bibliography as a rich text file.
• Save as HTML will allow you to save the bibliography as a HTML file for viewing in a web browser. This format will also embed metadata allowing other Zotero users viewing the document to capture bibliographic information.
• Save to Clipboard will allow you to save the bibliography to your clipboard to paste into any text field.
• Print will send your bibliography straight to a printer.

With RTF Scan, you can write in plain text, and use Zotero to finalize your citations and bibliographies in the style you want.
