Zotero

To import citations from Google Scholar into RefWorks (10 or 20 at a a time):

• you must have a Google account.  Log into your account
• conduct your search (tips on searching in Google Scholar can be found here: Tips for Searching in Google Scholar
• click the star beneath the citations you want to keep.  This puts citations into your Library.  Items remain in your library until you choose to delete them. You have the option to tag them; this is not necessary.

When you are done searching and ready to import citations into RefWorks, go into your Library (upper right corner).

• click the button that selects All Citations
• choose the icon that represents a download (arrow pointing down) and select RefMan

Your file will show up in your Downloads file folder, and as a recently downloaded file in the grey line at the bottom of your screen.  You have now saved your citations in a format that is readable to Zotero; now to import it.

Importing Citations Into Zotero

• In Zotero, create a Collection for the project (if you haven’t already). Click on that collection.
•  click the image of a file with a plus sign and choose "Add File"

• Select the file you want. If you just downloaded a file from a database, it should be in your Downloads folder.
• IMPORTANT: This imports an image of a file into folder into your collection. Click (or double-click) the image of the file folder and import its contents.  This might create a new folder; if so, rename the folder.
