Zotero

Groups allow you to collaborate with other Zotero users through a shared Library.

1. Create your Zotero group

   • Go to Zotero.org and select the Groups tab
   • Click on Create a New Group
2. Name your group and select a group type
   • Zotero has three group types
     • Public, Open group: anyone online can view and join your group
     • Public, Closed group: anyone online can view your group, but needs an invitation from a group admin to join the group
     • Private Membership: an invitation from a group admin is required to view and join the group.
3. Set your group settings
   • To set your group settings, click on the Group’s name, and on the following page, click Group Settings
   • Note that if you select group file storage, the group library’s storage will pull from the group owner’s storage space (the person who created the group)
4. Invite group members
   • On the Group Settings page, select Member Settings
   • To invite more members, click on Send More Invitations
   • ​​​Once your group is created, there will be a corresponding Group Folder in your Zotero Library
5. Add references to your group
   • This works just like other Zotero folders—drag your references from your Library and place them into the Group Library
