The software you rely on for your research must work. If you have a question about Zotero, you can often get an answer within <\/span>a few minutes <\/strong>directly from a Zotero developer or an experienced community member. <\/span><\/p>\n

Being part of the <\/span>CSL team <\/strong>I also like to spend my time helping people in the forum with questions about citations, citation styles, etc. Find out more about my role as a <\/span>CSL Zotero style developer<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Apply citation styles in Zotero<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"Citation<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

Die Verwendung von Zitierstilen in Zotero ist denkbar einfach. Und so geht’s:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
    \n
  1. Adding sources<\/strong>: Start by adding your sources to your Zotero library. You can do this manually by entering the information by hand, but it is recommended to use the automatic data collection function via browser addon to retrieve information from websites and databases.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Select citation style<\/strong>: As soon as you add the first source in a document, you will be asked to select a citation style. Choose a style or download one of the citation styles from the style index or here from my <\/span>shop<\/a> .<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Generating citations<\/strong>: In the next step, a small red Zotero window will open where you can select your sources. Select the desired item from your Zotero library. Zotero will automatically generate the citation in the chosen citation style.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Creating a bibliography<\/strong>: Am Ende deines Dokuments kannst du auch eine Bibliografie erstellen. Setze den Cursor, wo du das Literaturverzeichnis haben willst und klicke auf „Bibliografie hinzuf\u00fcgen“. Zotero wird die gesamte Liste der verwendeten Quellen im eingestellten Stil auflisten.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Hand in your thesis\/paper<\/strong>. \ud83d\ude09 <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    As mentioned above in step 2, you need the correct citation style. Many universities use public citation styles, which you can find in the Zotero style repository. <\/a>There are now more than 10,000 styles available (I have probably created 1,000 of them by now).<\/p>\n

    If you can't find the style you need, I have more than 90 styles available here in my shop<\/u><\/a> . And of course you can always write to me if you need a made-to-measure citation style<\/em><\/a> or you have some specific ask me <\/a>about a certain style.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
