A self-paced introduction to Zotero for organizing references and citing in RStudio, Quarto, and Word
Tutorial Overview
This self-paced tutorial will introduce you to Zotero, a free citation management tool that can help you organize your research and create bibliographies with a specific focus on integrating it with RStudio and Quarto. It is intended to take about 30-60 minutes to complete.
The tutorial is split into the following sections:
To complete this tutorial, you will need to have the following software installed on your computer:
- Zotero and Zotero Connector
- RStudio
- Quarto
- RStudio comes bundled with Quarto. You do not need to install Quarto separately if you have a recent version of RStudio.
We recommend completing all of the steps outlined in the Background and Integrating Zotero sections of this tutorial as you read through them. The Exercises section of this tutorial essentially rehashes the same content, but is intended to review and consolidate the topics discussed.
Moreover, while this tutorial can be completed with any code text editor, we highly recommend using RStudio because it is well-integrated with Zotero.
