Creating a bibliography using Zotero is very simple. There are a two methods available to create bibliography in a specific
style, without any in-text citations.
1. Right Click to Create Bibliography from Selected Items
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.
2. Quick copy
Another way to create a bibliography in Zotero is to highlight one or more references and drag them into any text field.
Zotero will automatically create a numbered and alphabetized bibliography for you. Drag your selections to a document or email. To copy citations instead of references, hold down Shift before dragging.
To configure your Quick Copy preferences, click the Actions menu (the
gear icon) and select Preferences. Within the Preferences pop-up window,
select Export. From this tab
