Why do I choose and recommend Zotero then? Because it’s fairly easy to set-up Zotero so that the free 300MB are only used to sync metadata (which in practice means almost infinite storage), and the PDFs are synced separately using a cloud solution of one’s choice (I use Google Drive).

Yet, both give some limited storage for free – Zotero gives 300MB, and Mendeley gives 2GB. Both are free to use and make money by offering cloud storage to sync PDFs of the papers. Probably, the most popular two are Zotero and Mendeley. Some of them are free, the others require paid subscriptions. There are dozens of bibliographic managers out there ( see a comparative table). There are more than six thousand bibliographic styles! Why Zotero?

All we need is to download a specific journal’s citation style.

For different bibliographic styles we just need to re-shuffle those blocks inserting various commas, semicolons, and quotation marks.īibliographic manager keeps track of all the LEGO blocks and knows (learns easily) how to compose proper citation styles out of them. I tend to think of bibliographic metadata as LEGO.įor each paper (book chapter / pre-print / R package) we have a number of metadata pieces – title, authors, date published, etc. Once you start using a reference manager this all becomes a happily forgotten nightmare.

I suffer almost physical pain just thinking about colleagues who for some reason never started using one – all those excel spreadsheets with favorite citations, messy folders with PDFs, constant hours lost for the joy-killing task of manual reference list formatting.

Finally, I decided to translate it adding some basic information on how to use Zotero with rmarkdown.Ī brief (and hopefully unnecessary for you) intro of bibliographic managersīibliographic manager is a life saver in everyday academic life. This is a funny case of a self written manual which I came back to multiple times myself and many many more times referred my friends to it, even non-Russian speakers who had to use Google Translator and infer the rest from screenshots. The post shows how to organize a personal academic library of unlimited size for free. One major advantage is that it comes with literally thousands of styles already defined and so rather than having to build up a formatting style in OOo you just click on the one you want and Zotero/AOO does all the work.Here is a bit refreshed translation of my 2015 blog post, initially published on Russian blog platform. It would probably take an hour or two to get your bibliography into it - Zotero can grab complete citation data from many places including most university libraries, on-line systems such as PubMed and many individual journals on-line. Zotero is a very nice bibliographic management system that seems to integrate well into AOO, at least in my experience. it is just not adequate for real work.Ī better alternative to AOO's rather crappy biblio system is Zotero. It looks like it should be possibe in Insert > etc, etc and then look under the Entry tab but I cannot seem to get it to work but I abandoned the Biblio part of OOo years ago.

I have 50+ bibliography entries which are often referenced multiple times so it would be a pain doing it manually
