Getting Started with Zotero
Zotero - a tool to organize your research citations, papers, and ideas: https://www.zotero.org/
CREATE AN ACCOUNT: https://www.zotero.org/user/register
Create an account, download the tool, and add the Zotero connector to access full functionality. The web version will sync with the downloaded desktop version. The web version alone does work but will require some workarounds (add a citation using the DOI) and does not offer much storage for paper pdfs.
