This course is a part of HF's PhD week.
Learning outcomes
After attending this workshop, you will know how to use Zotero to
- collect and organize sources you may have or find in Oria, Google Scholar, and other databases, or record manually
- import PDFs and use Zotero's PDF-reader
- share and publish bibliographic databases
- cite as you write in Word or Google Docs
- create reference lists in different reference styles
We will cover these steps in the first two hours of the course. The third course hour offers optional time to practice and get help working with the tool.
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 on October 1 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 October 15 to register. Registration closes when the course has reached its maximum number of participants.
