Zotero is a tool for managing bibliographic references. It can help you:

• collect references and documents from databases and websites, other bibliographic management software, or even PDFs from your hard drive; 
• organise and manage your documents with collections, tags, and saved searches;
• cite: generate in-text citations or notes and the bibliography of a document using the Word/LibreOffice/Google Docs plugin;
• sync: create an online account and sync your Zotero library;
• collaborate : share bibliographic references on the web.

► why zotero ?

• it's free and open source;
• it’s designed, maintained, and housed by academics;
• it identifies practically all the types of documents that can be cited in your research;

• it’s easy to get to grips with.

► your library has style !

In January 2020, the Library made two new bibliographic styles available in Zotero.

These styles were developed with the support of the Sciences Po Doctoral School in response to a recurring request from students and doctoral researchers. They are based on previous recommendations.

You can discover and install these French styles here.

The Author-Date style lets you insert in-text citations, while the Note style is used to create footnotes.

Now you needn’t have any doubts about your citations... these styles adapt to almost all types of document.

If you have any questions or comments, please write to zotero.bib@sciencespo.fr

And for everything you need to know about installing these styles, check out the guide under the Styles tab.
