• Zotero Word 2016 Mac Plugin

Scrivener is writing software that has become increasingly popular with academics. It helps organize writing long pieces of writing. Affordable, cross-platform, and can be installed on multiple computers of the same platform. There is a generous 30 opens (not 30 consecutive days) free trial.

Zotero And Word 2016

The Zotero Add-on was installed in 'Macro Complementaires' directly in Word 2016 and not next to 'HELP/Aide' menu of Mac.

Zotero Word 2016 Mac Plugin

There is no Zotero plugin for Scrivener, and probably will not be one in the future, but there are a number of workarounds.

Two Easy but un-Dynamic Methods

1. Manually type footnotes and citations into a Scrivener project. Use Zotero to generate a bibliography which can be copied and pasted into the Scrivener project or the compiled Word document.
2. Draft in MS Word using the Zotero Plugin for Word to create footnotes and bibliography. Export the document along with its footnotes/citations and bibliography into Scrivener in order to further organize using import or import & split. Caution: The connection to Zotero is no longer dynamic and footnotes/citations and the bibliography become static and simple text.

Two Less Easy but more Dynamic, Reliable, and Powerful Methods

1. Top Method Recommended by Zotero for precision and reliability: ODF Scan Plugin
   1. Insert placeholder citations into Scrivener from Zotero (e.g., by setting your default export format to Scannable Cite and dragging from Zotero or using the zotpick tool Emiliano mentions).
   2. When you are done writing, export from Scrivener as “ODT”.
   3. In Zotero, click Tools -> RTF Scan -> ODF Scan and select your document to have Zotero convert the placeholders to live Zotero citations.
   4. Open the document in LibreOffice (free, open source Word) to finish formatting.
2. Less Recommended by Zotero as slightly less reliable: RTF Scan
   1. In Scrivener, insert a citation in the body of a text document, using the one of the supplied formats, e.g. {Anderson, 2016} . Note that you should insert the citation in the body of the document, and not in a Scrivener-style footnote.
   2. In Scrivener, insert {Bibliography} in the body of a text document, in the spot where you would like the Bibliography to appear (assuming you want the references at the end)
   3. In Scrivener, compile the document, using RTF as the output format.
   4. In Zotero, go to Tools > RTF Scan. Zotero will prompt you to select input and output files. Select the RTF file that you created in the previous step. You can also select an output file, or you can accept the default file created by Zotero. Click Next.
   5. Zotero will display a table and ask you to confirm any ambiguous references. (I'm not sure why it always does this; at least for me, the references should not be ambiguous.) Ensure that every Citation listed in the table has a corresponding Item Name. i.e. if the 'Item Name' field is blank, you must select a Citation. Once you have done this, click Next.
   6. Zotero will prompt you to select a citation style, e.g. MLA or APA. Select a style and click Next.
   7. Zotero will confirm that your document has been scanned. Open the document and confirm that the formatting is correct.

• Zotero instantly creates references and bibliographies for any text editor, and directly inside Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. With support for over 9,000 citation styles, you can format your work to match any style guide or publication.
• There are many benefits to using the Zotero Add-In. Citations added through the Word Toolbar can be automatically added to a bibliography as you write, and automatically updated if there are ever any changes that need to be made. Install Zotero Add-In. Save and close all current work in Word, then open a new blank document.
• Zotero Word for Mac Integration. This is a Firefox add-on that consists of a library written in ObjC that communicates with Microsoft Word out of process using AppleScript, a js-ctypes wrapper for said library, and a template that is installed into Microsoft Word to communicate with Zotero.
• I'm using Word 2016 and Zotero Standalone 4.0.28. Previously in Word 2011, I had Command+Alt+Z as a shortcut to Add Citation. After upgrading to 2016 and reinstalling the Word plug-in, I can't find a way to link a shortcut.
