We use Zotero for citation management.

Install Zotero

We recommend installing Zotero on your desktop as well as your browser. You can download the software and browser plugin (for Chrome, Firefox or Safari) from https://www.zotero.org/. You'd also want to register for an account if you don't already have one.

Group Directory

We have a group directory that we use to collect citations for all shared projects. The directory is private, so ask a member of the collective to invite you.

The directory is organized by folder, with each folder aggregating citations for a particular project or topic.

Exporting

If you want to create a BibTex file from the citations in your folder, right-click your folder in the desktop application, and click "Export Collection". Select BibTex as the format and save to a location of your choice. Be sure to rename the file refs.bib so that it works with the paper-building workflow.
