Keep bibliography only. No citations within body document

wisam

I am authoring a textbook. Usually citations are only used at the end of the chapter. In the main text there are no references to any citations. How do I accomplish that with Zotero?
I have no clue where to start. Any leads please?

Thanks

You can just create a bibliography in Zotero by selecting the items you want -->right click --> Create Bibliography from Selected items and then have that created either as a new RTF file or copied to your clipboard, from where you can paste it to the chapter. I don't see a need to go through the word plugin for this.

Quite brilliant! That'll work for me.

Thanks Adam.

Hey there,

I've got a similar problem. I want to add some references to the bibliography, which contains citations out of the document apart from that. How can I manage to add several citations to the already existing bibliography?

Or an even better solution would be, if it was possible to add a citation to text fields within word - cause there are the crucial citations, which are not shown in the bibliography yet.

It would be awesome, if anybody could help me!

Cheers,

Anna

the letter isn't possible afaik, but you _can_ add citations that aren't in the text to the bibliography using the "Edit Bibliography" button in the toolbar.
