How to find articles with high citation counts through Zotero?

Finding high-citation articles directly *within* Zotero's native interface isn't its primary function; instead, Zotero excels at managing and integrating references discovered elsewhere. However, you can effectively leverage Zotero alongside citation-rich databases to identify and capture such articles. Utilizing the Zotero Connector browser extension is essential. Perform searches within academic databases known for citation tracking, such as Scopus, Web of Science, or Google Scholar. These platforms allow filtering search results by citation count. When you locate a relevant, highly cited article, click the Zotero Connector icon to instantly save the complete reference, including associated metadata, directly into your Zotero library. Ensure metadata retrieval is enabled in Zotero preferences for best results. The practical workflow involves first searching a citation-tracking database using your research terms, applying citation count sort/filter options to identify high-impact papers, then using the Zotero Connector to capture them. This process efficiently integrates the discovery of influential literature with powerful reference management, significantly enhancing literature review efficiency and ensuring your work builds on key contributions. Tools like the "Scite" or "Better BibTeX" plugins can further enhance citation context within Zotero.
