Zotero

The PRAN team uses Zotero, a free reference management software, to organize a growing collection of core SSAI academic and grey literature resources collected by PRAN researchers and research assistants. We encourage all of our official project partners to use the Zotero library to save time identifying relevant articles.

We developed and continue to develop Zotero training resources to support our partners and network. Learn to collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share your findings effortlessly!
