Pasting citation info

jgates2 · October 15, 2014

Is there a way for Zotero to import, either via paste or from the clipboard, a fully-formed citation? Most of the DB that the kids use have a full citation at the bottom, but Zotero doesn't recognize the page. Their current workflow involves pasting the citation into NoodleTools, which apparently works. If I can duplicate that ease for them, we can move over to Zotero.

Thanks!

Not from within zotero, but through third-party websites/apps:

Alternatively, you can try to convince the DB people to expose their metadata nicely.

Another website which can be useful is RefFormer.
You can paste citation and click the Zotero address bar icon to import it.
