Managing the Research Sources Manually

In the process of conducting a research, one needs to always manage the research sources. This includes collecting, organising, citing, and sharing the research sources. The process of managing the research sources is a very challenging task if it would be done manually. The researcher should extract the citation information from different resources (e.g. papers or web-pages), make lists, save pdf files, convert the citations to the right format, share them with colleagues, etc. Only a simple part of this process like extraction of citation-information from Internet-resources manually would take a lot of time.

Using Zotero for Managing the Research Sources

Instead of managing the research sources manually, once can use Zotero. Zotero is the only research tool that automatically senses content in the web browser, allowing the researcher to add it to his/her personal library with a single click. Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool that can be used for collecting, organising, citing, and sharing the research sources. Zotero collects all research resources in a single, searchable interface. The researcher can add PDFs, images, audio and video files, snapshots of web pages, and really anything else. Zotero automatically indexes the full-text content of the research library, enabling the researcher to find exactly what s/he is looking for with just a few keystrokes. It can highly improve the process of managing the research sources and consequently the process of conducting research.
