Collaborating with Zotero Groups

Zotero offers users the ability to share your collection of citations and references with others through Zotero Groups. These groups are separate from your library, and can be used to both manage multiple libraries of resources on one account and to share and collaborate with others. There are two ways to create a group:

• Select the New Library icon on the Zotero desktop app, or
• Select Create a New Group from the Zotero Groups page.

Additionally, there are three types of groups users can make:

• Private
• Public, Closed Membership
• Public, Open Membership

Each type of group contains its own level of privacy settings. Users can set and adjust different settings for their group profiles, libraries, and group members. Members of a group can also interact with group libraries through the Zotero desktop app or through the Zotero Groups webpage.

Tips for Zotero Groups

Web-based Zotero will not allow you to set a preferred folder for saving new citations or save to a group folder. You will need to add new citations to a group folder by selecting the article and clicking "add to collection."

Adding citations directly to the group folder requires the Zotero desktop client. Be sure to sync your accounts if you plan to use both the web and desktop versions.

To save citations directly to the group folder using the web connector

Open the Zotero desktop client

When you click on the connector to import a source, a dropdown menu will appear allowing you to choose your preferred folder:

To move citations from your library to the group library

Drag and drop to the desired folder in the desktop client
