The Zotero interface offered everything I had been missing in Endnote and then some. I could simply import my Endnote library and started a testdrive. A Google search led me to Zotero, which was a breeze to install. I had some difficulty getting the two to work together, and when I finally did, there were drawbacks that made me look out for an alternative. 1 Endnote X included Endnote Web, a web-based implementation that looked interesting. It all started when I upgraded from Endnote 7 to Endnote X to get Unicode support. The background to this posting is that I made the move from Endnote to Zotero two months ago - and I have never since considered going back. It bills itself as The Next-Generation Research Tool, and in this post I’ll try to explain why I think that’s true. Zotero is a free piece of software that lives in your browser, helping you to ‘collect, manage and cite your research sources’ in all sorts of beautiful ways. I wasn’t planning to make this a software weblog, but I’ll make an exception for Zotero because I think fellow researchers will find it an interesting tool.
