Zotero: Citation management software

Setting Up a Zotero Group for Your Team Project

Zotero allows you to create shared Group Libraries, so you and your teammates can collect and manage references together.

You will need to register for a free Zotero account first if you don’t already have one.

Step-by-Step: Create a Zotero Group

1. Go to https://www.zotero.org/groups
2. Click Create a New Group and choose a unique name for your group.
3. Select a suitable Group Type. Use Private Membership if you want to keep your group visible only to members.
4. Click Create Group.
5. Configure the group settings to control who has read, access, and file editing rights.

Step-by-Step: Invite Members

1. On the Group Settings page, click Member Settings. Here, you can view current members and update their roles.
2. Click Send More Invitations to invite new members to the group.
3. Enter the email addresses of people you’d like to invite. For multiple emails, separate them with commas or line breaks.
4. Invited users will receive an email to activate access. They must have a Zotero account to join the group.
5. Once they accept the invite, the group will appear in their Zotero app under "Group Libraries".
