How to Use Zotero to Cite Articles in Your Writing

Editing Zotero Bibliography

Now that you have used the magic of Zotero to add references and a complete bibliography, you may realize that the format of the bibliography does not match what is required for your paper. If you try to edit it, it will go back to what Zotero has stored in its database, format, and all. How do you fix this?

To edit a bibliography, first, you need to unlink the bibliography, or Zotero will automatically force the bibliography back into the default format. To do this you can go to the Zotero tab and choose unlink. See examples below of how to do this in Google Docs or Microsoft Word.
