Zotero add-ons
An active community of Zotero users has developed a variety of plugins to provide enhancements, new features, and interfaces with other programs.
To install a plugin in Zotero, download its .xpi file to your computer. Then, in Zotero, click “Tools → Add-Ons”, then drag the .xpi for the plugin onto the Add-Ons window that opens.
Any add-ons shared here are "install at your own risk." We can make no guarantees about the safety or security around installing these add-ons.
Here are a few we've tried:
- Zotero Citation Counts Add-onThe add-on by Erik Schnetter and Sam Lumley can auto-fetch citation counts for journal articles using various APIs, including Crossref, Inspire HEP, and Semantic Scholar. Google Scholar is not supported because automated access is against its terms of service.
- Zotero PreviewThis add-on by “dcartertod” adds a preview tab with a citation preview for the particular item in Zotero.
