  • EasyBib: a basic bibliography/citation maker. Works through an on-line interface to build a reference list, which you can then export to MS Word or another word processing programme in RTF. If you register, you can save multiple reference lists online and share them with other users and such. I didn’t register (even though it’s free), so I can’t vouch for whether or not this works well. Major drawback is that it only builds bibliographies in MLA style. A cool feature is if you’re citing a book and you have the ISBN, EasyBib can automatically populate the reference fields for you.

  • Zotero can import the following bibliographic file formats: Zotero RDF MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) BibTeX RIS Refer/BibIX Unqualified Dublin Core RDF
  • Titles In English, titles are typically either Title Cased or Sentence cased (for the distinction, see http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2012/03/title-case-and-sentence-case-capitalization-in-apa-style.html ). Because citation styles differ in their casing requirements, and because automatic conversion of sentence case to title case is much more accurate than the other way around, we recommend that you store titles in your Zotero library in sentence case. Zotero can then reliably convert titles to Title Case in rendered bibliographies when the chosen citation style calls for it. To help with changing the case of titles, the title fields (e.g., “Title”, “Publication”, “Series Title”, “Short Title” for the “Journal Article” item type) can be right-clicked. This shows the “Transform Text” menu, with options to convert the title to either “Title Case” or “Sentence case”. Zotero does not recognize proper nouns, and transformed titles should always be checked for capitalization errors.

    Zotero can take PDFs of scholarly papers and query the Google Scholar database for matches. The most straight-forward way it does this is by matching up an embedded Digital Object Identifier (DOI), but that's far from necessary. If Zotero finds the PDF in Google Scholar, it creates a new library item for the paper, downloads the bibliographic metadata from and attaches the original PDF to the new item.

      A feature that I had read about, but not used. Very handy especially with pdf so predominant in Google Scholar.
  • Zotero can index your PDF attachments and make them fully searchable, turning your library from a mere linked catalogue into a Google Books of sorts.
  • Want to tag multiple items at once? Select them, make sure the tag selector is visible in the left pane, and drag them onto the tag you want to use. The tag will be applied to all items.

      I especially like this because I have many full-text sources via my university databases. Very cool.
