I will show you step-by-step how to import PDFs and use the Zotero Connector extension with Google Scholar!

I dive into how to use collections and subcollections to organize my field and themes in Zotero. Then, we organize our papers with tags based on topics which makes it easy to filter to the correct paper. We will also set up related tags to link together papers in the same project.

Then I move into how to organize within each paper. This includes attaching pdfs for your references and writing notes to organize your references.

Finally, we talk about how to manage duplicate references!
