This course is a part of HF's PhD week.

Learning outcomes

In this workshop you will learn how to get the most out of Zotero’s PDF-reader, importing PDFs of your research material, even scanning and importing your own research notes.

With Zotero you can highlight your PDFs with a digital marker, tag text sections based on topics, write annotations in the margin, and write item attached or standalone notes.

You will also learn how you can easily retrieve tagged sections and generate reports with your highlighted text, annotations, and notes. Reports are a helpful research tool for gathering summaries of key points in your research material. 

Registration

The course is open to PhD fellows, completion grant holders, and post-doctoral fellows at the Faculty of Humanities, other UiO faculties, and external PhD fellows. Registration opens February 20 at 12:00 and priority is given to PhDs and postdocs from the Faculty of Humanities. We ask that PhDs and postdocs from other Faculties at UiO, and other applicants, wait until on March 1 to register. Registration closes when the course has reached its maximum number of participants.
