Researching and writing? We can help you:

• determine the best citation management tool to use
• organize citations and documents with Zotero or Mendeley or recommend other tools
• add references using BibTeX & LaTeX
• use Overleaf and other online writing tools to submit papers and write collaboratively
• read and organize PDFs and notes

We are unable to help with formatting papers/citations or determining when to cite something. See our Citing Sources Guide for resources to use while writing your paper.

For guidance on citing AI-generated content, see our Citing AI Tools Guide.

Annotation Tools in Zotero 6.0

• Zotero 6.0 now includes PDF annotation tools and the ability to extract annotations as notes in your Zotero library. See the Zotero blog post about this features and the documentation.

Unlimited storage for Zotero accounts

• The Libraries were recently able to purchase a Zotero subscription which provide all MIT users with unlimited storage. The increased storage will be automatically applied if you have a .mit.edu email address affiliated with your account. To add an email address, log into your Zotero account.
