Hi Andy just want to say thank you for continuing to make these videos ! You’re the most efficient, practical explainer of phd topics on YouTube and cover so much on it ! I was looking for a video on zotero and was hoping you’d have one because I can always trust you cover everything I need ! I had been wasting so much time on the manual reference thing so I’m happy to see now how I can add them quicker to the app!

[lakshent]

Dear Andy! Thank you so much for this. I was searching for a similar integration and will definitely give it a try. Thanks again and may I add that you have created such a great value to researchers and academics worldwide!

[marc-antoinevumilia]

Thank you! You made it very clear for me.

[dankchan]

I’ve learnt more from you about conducting research than from my supervisors or uni 😂 keep up the great work.

[lianliu]

Thank you, this is exactly what I need. Great content!

Zotero is great! I've been using it with LaTeX, and that's been working amazingly for me. The AI however: I hate it! I'm going to come off as a bit of a luddite here, but reading papers, comparing what different people are saying with a critical eye and communicating that effectively is, like, half the job of being a scientist. That's where our skills are! And then I haven't even mentioned that the AI may not even be trustworthy. It may take the papers in your directories as input, but does it *know* what it is saying? Maybe a paper has a critical point that can be easily overlooked (maybe even by the authors themselves!) but that might be crucial for your reading of it. The point is, I don't trust AI to do this job, because I will have the sense that I should check whether it is even doing a good job. At that point, I may just read the papers myself! Anyway, I hope that my point comes across. I understand why you like it, but that's my two (well okay, three) cents.

Can you please point me to the API Key you mention? I can't see it in the links. Thanks @DrAndyStapleton.

[dimitrisk.]

Thank you so much Andy! I wish there was so much AI tools back in the days when I was manually struggling with my PhD lit review!!

[lukejay]

This is a class I had in chem lit and seminar but much better explained

[blackthug]

wow as a first year grad student I want to say thanks!! This is super helpful

[raminMTL]

Andy your videos have inspired me to finally grow a beard ❤

[dimitrisk.]

great tool, thank you. Although mine didn't add bibliography at the end of the page, don't know why.

[brucequinn]

You want to do “unlink citations” on a second copy document (not on your only copy.)

I wanted to use a standard citation format but add an html link wherever it had one, but I wasn’t able to figure that out.

[obsiidann]

I love you 🤣🤣💙, your content is awesome thanks.

[jkirpalani]

Hello! Thank you for the awesome video. Where can I find that awesome shirt?

[ElijahHunter]

Hello Andy! I must commend you on your exceptional work in creating an efficient reference storage system. I'm fascinated! And curious: how the system is powered by AI. Would you mind sharing the details? Your expertise in this field is greatly appreciated!

[asefayihunie]

Dear Andy, I got your lecture while I was struggling to install mendely. Since three years back I used to apply frequently. But, I couldn't properly install the Mendeley web importer and Mendeley citation plugin after I removed the mendely icon to update my PC.

[elihusolano]

[hbacchiocchi]
