//ABOUT ME:
🙋🏻‍♂️ I graduated with my BS [Pre-Physical Therapy & Biology] and MS [Exercise Physiology] from the University of Texas at El Paso, and I'm now enrolled as a Doctoral candidate at Baylor University. In the realm of education, I've held positions as a high school tutor, public school science teacher, and full-time university lecturer. In business, I have held sales and general and regional management positions. I now make videos for fun, teaching others what I have learned along my (not-so-traditional) journey.

Finally! a clear video communicating the basics of Zotero footnotes and bibliography. The note-taking is an added bonus. The most successful students are the most organized students. It looks like Zotero can be good for organizing research...

[BethTippettBarr]

Fantastic resource! This is a great introduction to Zotero and the clear and slow cadence of your voice makes it easy for me to share it with researchers who I'm teaching scientific writing to in Africa. Thank you!

[jefflupp]

New to Zotero! Thanks for the straight forward tutorial on how to implement this. I now have it up and running :)

[traceyfromkc]

thank you very much! i demonstrate basic features of Zotero at my job, but i'm constantly learning something new, so your video was very helpful.

[bwolverton]

Thanks for a great video! Fellow Baylor doctoral student here just getting started this fall. Sic 'em!

[ChaingaZulu]

Hi Dominic, I accidentally 'bumped' into this video and I want to express my happiness and appreciation of the simplicity of your presentation. Coincidentally, I am also doing an MA research in EI and mental health.

[AuroraLucas-kf]

oh my god. Im currently writing my dissertation, and thank you for your simplified video. YAYYYY i feel so hopeful again

I used Zotero a lot from 2016 to about 2021. Zotero was good and useful then. But now with the new update and intuitive PDF reader, that's a whole new level! Wow, well done Zotero team 👏

[Sara-clgi]

Thank you so much for this informative tutorial! This is what I have been looking for.

[DavidGillooly]

Excellent section on references and bibliography.

[jozefmurape]

Very clear and easy to follow, thanks 👍

This is a really clear tutorial, Dominic. Thank you. I'm wondering about DOI hyperlinks, though. Checking APA 7th guides, the DOI is meant to be a hyperlink and it is acceptable if the font is blue due to your word processor. I saw when you used the clipboard to create your reference list that this occurred nicely, but when you 'add Bibiography' from Zotero, the DOI is not a hyperlink. Do you know how to change this, so our DOI is a hyperlink when we add Bibliography from Zotero?

Zotero is awesome. I love their iPad app so much, helps me read papers anywhere I want, also syncs my annotations

[JohnnyInspiration]

Hey, Dominic! This is so amazing. I really like your tutorials. Big up!!!

[EG-yt]

Huge thanks! Just started the second year of my MPH program and this will certainly come in handy.

[curiosity_prime]

Hi! Just starting my first research position after undergrad and this was super helpful, thank you so much!!!

[Parallelgesellschaft]

I loved the tips and tricks! Thank you very much! I still have the question, how to implement websites into it, for example, newspaper articles? If you'd help me here it would be a lifesaver!!

[stephaniejohnson-dingome]

Very helpful! Excellent presentation! Blessings
