Zotero 5.0 Standalone application

Zotero

Zotero is a reference management tool you can download and use for free. You can collect, cite, organize and share your references.
We have previously described Zotero 4.0 for Firefox and Zotero Standalone in this blog: https://www.ntnu.no/blogger/ub-teknologi/2017/03/13/zotero/
Since then, Zotero has released a major update in Zotero 5.0 Standalone application in July 2017.

 

What does the updated tool contain?
Zotero 5.0 is a Zotero Standalone application that can be used with all browsers. In addition, you have to download connectors, depending on which browser you are using. There are connectors for Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera. The download is available for Mac, Windows, and Linux.

 

How can you update the Zotero tool?
If you are using Zotero 4.0 for Firefox, you download the Firefox connector first. You will get the same “Save to Zotero” button in the Firefox toolbar.
Then you download the Zotero 5.0 Standalone application to access your library. Finally, you sync your library with zotero.org.
The functionality of the Zotero 5.0 Standalone application is the same as described for Zotero 4.0 for Firefox.
