Download and install Zotero Standalone AND the Zotero Connector.PART 1: Install Zotero Standalone and the Zotero Connector While I’m pretty confident in this setup, I recommend going through the rest of this tutorial and trying out Zotero before doing any migrations, just to make sure you like it. To avoid this, simply disable your internet connection during the bulk import you can always go back and tell Zotero to look up citation information for specific files later. However, after a couple hundred of requests, Google will suspect you are a bot and automatically put up a CAPTCHA, which may slow or stop the import process. When doing a large import, Zotero may try to automatically find the associated metadata for each paper via Google Scholar.However, Mendeley Desktop 1.19 has moved toward encrypting their database, so if you have already updated, you will have to follow the workaround in the above link to revert to an older version. Note that as of June 16, 2018, the Beta version of Zotero includes the ability to import directly from Mendeley.

I think Menotexport is probably the best way to do this from Mendeley, but there are other options out there as well. Exporting your references, PDFs, subfolders, and annotations is a bit more challenging, but is definitely possible.

Exporting your references and PDFs might be a little more work, but shouldn’t be too difficult.There are instructions for exporting from EndNote ( here and here) and Mendeley ( here and here). Exporting your references from EndNote or Mendeley into Zotero is very easy.I used Mendeley for a couple of years before it was bought by Elsevier, who have since moved toward commercializing the software.Īs far as I know, there are three options for migrating your existing reference library over to Zotero: Many people may be in a situation where they have already invested a lot of time and money into a proprietary reference manager such as EndNote or Mendeley. Create multiple libraries that you can share with collaborators and/or the public.Search and insert references within a Word document and automatically insert a reference list in the required formatting style of virtually any journal.Extract highlighted text and annotations from PDFs and associate them with references.Have virtually unlimited storage for your PDFs with automatic back up.Download, rename, and organize academic papers, news articles, web sites, and other reference material with one click.The key is to use Zotero in conjunction with a cloud-based storage service.
