A productive Zotero setup

I was an early adopter of Zotero (my first references were imported on 8 November 2006) and I have been a long time user. Originally released as a Firefox plug-in, Zotero is now available as a stand-alone app with connectors for most popular browsers.

I use Safari as my default browser. I use Chrome whenever Flash is required. I use Firefox as my research browser when gathering references.

I have the homepage and default search engine set to Google Scholar. I have bookmarks pointing to a few university libraries, the Zotero styles page, the NLM Catalog (for looking up journal abbreviations), and the Resolve a DOI page.

You can use Zotero with word processors such as Microsoft Word and LibreOffice by installing the word processor plugin.
