Use Zotero to organize and cite your research
If you haven't had a chance to set up a Zotero Collection for your PAE/SYPA yet, do it now! Zotero not only helps you keep track of and correctly format citations—it is also a fantastic tool to keep your research and notes neatly organized in one place, easily searchable, and safely backed up into the cloud.
And if you're working with a partner, you can even create a collaborative Zotero group library that you can all contribute to and share research in.
Visit our Zotero Guide or email HKS Librarians to make an individual or small group appointment. We can help you with most things from installation troubleshooting to organizing your library, from inserting and formatting citations in Word or Google Docs to setting up a collaborative group library
