Using Zotero with LaTeX

LaTeX is commonly used by scientists to format papers, due to its ability to correctly print mathematical formulas. It runs on Linux or Unix systems.

Creating a bibliography with Zotero in LaTeX

• Select the references you want to add to your bibliography
• Export to BibTeX (right-click)
• Add two commands to your LaTeX file:
  
  1. \bibliographystyle{style}, inside the \begin{document} command. 
  style.bst is a file describing the bibliography formatting style, usually available from the publisher.
  
  2. \bibliography{filename}, at the place where you want to show the bibliography.
  filename.bib is the file you have created by exporting from Zotero.

Citing references in LaTeX

To cite the references from your bibliography, use the
\cite{firstauthor_firstwordoftitle_yyyy} command. You can find the parameters in the filename.bib file.
