A Question about categorizing a bibliography
Is there a way to categorize a bibliography in Zotero? I am using zotero in my dissertation for my PhD in History and I want to group my bibliographic entries into groups such as primary sources, secondary source monographs, secondary source articles and chapters etc. What is the best way to do this?

adamsmithno, not currently - this will be coming at some point - not sure if already with the next Zotero version - but currently it's not possible.

ajlyonThe current best way is to create collections of the items in each category, then use the "Create bibliography from collection" command on each collection, then insert the resulting bibliographies manually into your word processor. Unfortunately, Zotero cannot yet create collections based on what has been cited in a given document, so you will have to create such collections manually. Equivalently, you could tag the items you are using and search for the tag, then use "Create bibliography from selected items".

donovanweightThank you for the suggestion Ajlyon, i think that your first suggestion should work very well since I was already creating subcollections as a way of organizing my sources.
