Importing Zotero references into Google Docs is feasible and achieved using the official Zotero Connector for browsers. This integration facilitates seamless citation and bibliography generation directly within the document. Successful operation requires installing the Zotero desktop application (version 6 or later), logging into the same Zotero account on both desktop and browser, and adding the "Zotero Connector" extension to your Chrome, Edge, or Firefox browser. The Google Docs Add-on for Zotero must be installed via the Google Workspace Marketplace. Ensure the Zotero application is running while using Google Docs for citation management. After setting up, open a Google Doc and locate the "Zotero" menu. Click "Add/Edit Citation" to select references from your Zotero library; insert parenthetical citations or footnotes. Use "Add/Edit Bibliography" to generate the formatted reference list. Adjust the citation style as needed from within the Zotero menu, utilizing CSL styles configured in the desktop application.
