Zotero: Citation Management Made Easy: Zotero Groups

Zotero's Groups feature allows you to share references with other Zotero users online. It's a practical way to work on collaborative research projects.

How? First, set up Zotero sync and synchronise your library.

• To create a shared library, click "file " button from the Zotero application menu, then "New Library" then choose the" New group" option.

• To join an existing Zotero library, search for it at zotero.org/groups or be invited by the group’s owner.
• To create or join a group, you must log in to the zotero.org website.  
• An alternative method is to create a new group or through the Zotero website :
• After logging in to your account choose the option Groups then create new groups option.

You now have two sections in your Zotero collections pane: My Library and Group Libraries.

Personal and group libraries are entirely separate; changes made to items in one library do not affect the other. You can drag items back and forth between libraries to copy items.

Search for existing public groups or create a new group. Groups may be public (searchable, and anyone can join) or private (users can only join if invited).
