Biology and Geomorphology of Tropical Islands IB C158L / ESPM C107: Cite + Write

Learn how to use Zotero with this self-paced Zotero tutorial, or attend an upcoming Zotero Workshop over Zoom.

Add the Ecology style to your Zotero by going to Preferences (under Zotero menu) - Cite - "Get additional styles." After you Sync, the Ecology style should be available to use in Google Docs or Word.

Note: If you already use a different citation manager (Mendeley, Refworks, etc.) and it's working for you, no need to switch to Zotero.

Since BIOSIS Previews (and all Web of Science databases) moved to a new interface, BIOSIS search results aren't recognized by the Zotero web importer (though the web importer does work with the Web of Science database). Here are a few workarounds:

• I was able to select results in BIOSIS and Export them choosing the 'Endnote Desktop' format. When my computer asked what program to open them with, I chose Zotero and they imported fine. If it doesn't work to open the exported file, choose File-Import in Zotero and upload the file that way.
• Similar to the above method, you can choose the 'ris' format to Export search results, then go to Zotero's File menu and choose Import.
• I also was able to get the Zotero web importer to work when viewing an individual record in BIOSIS (just not with a page of search results).
• You could also download the articles' pdfs and upload them into Zotero.

Please let me know if you need any help with these options.

The Library has many books on scientific writing, the research process, and communicating science. Please ask if you would like help finding them!
