Import from Excel

Hi,

Can I import bibliographies from Excel to Zotero ?

Thanks.

  • Depends -- it's never going to be ideal (Excel is not a data format, it's just a file type), but there are possible solutions. How exactly is that information entered? What type of literature (just books, just articles, a mix?) Do they include ISBNs? DOIs?
  • I have a few bibliographies entered with the usual categories, Title, Author, Publisher, etc. No ISBN. And yes both Books and articles plus some other (thesis, chapter of collective book, etc.).
    Thanks for the help.

  • I think the most promising and fairly low-tech solution is outlined here:

  • Thanks, I'll try this.
    Best,
    Laurent
