Zotero Setup and Use: Zotero Groups

A guide to setting up and using the Zotero citation management software, for students and faculty of Southwest Minnesota State University.

What are Zotero Groups?

In addition to the ability to save and organize your research, Zotero also allows you to easily collaborate with other Zotero users with the Groups function.

Once you have created a Zotero Group, it will automatically sync alongside your regular Zotero library. Group members are able to...

  • Share research items, PDFs, notes, and document mark-up
  • Collaborate on research projects in real-time, virtually
  • Document research processes to share later
