Which online databases does Zotero support for import?

Zotero facilitates the seamless import of reference data from numerous major academic databases and library catalogs directly via its browser connector. This capability is a core function of the tool designed to streamline research collection. Effective importation requires a properly installed Zotero browser connector for the respective web browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge). Zotero reliably supports databases providing structured citation metadata (RIS, BibTeX, COinS), including Google Scholar, PubMed, JSTOR, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, ProQuest platforms, and WorldCat. It can often extract data from publisher websites and institutional library discovery layers. Recognition via Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) further enhances import accuracy and convenience. This functionality significantly enhances research efficiency by enabling direct importation of correctly formatted citations with one click, drastically reducing manual data entry errors and saving substantial time during literature review stages.
