Citation Management with Zotero

The Zotero app can be used on your iPhone or iPad. The app syncs with all of your libraries, including group libraries. You'll be able to edit and organize references, as well as read and annotate PDFs, as you would in the Zotero client. You can also add new references and files using the share button in various other apps, such as Safari and Twitter. All data syncs automatically in both directions.

Released in the summer of 2025, Zotero for Android lets you work with your Zotero data no matter where you are:

• Sync your personal and group libraries
• View and edit item details
• Organize items into collections
• Take notes on your research
• Read PDFs and add highlight, note, image, and ink annotations (EPUB/snapshot support coming soon)
• Save journal articles, newspaper articles, books, webpages, and more by sharing a URL from your browser or other apps
• Automatically download article PDFs to read (currently limited to PDFs accessible without a login due to Android limitations)
• Add items by DOI, ISBN, PMID, or other identifiers
• Automatically retrieve bibliographic details for PDFs saved directly to the app
• Quickly add physical books to your Zotero library by scanning book barcodes with your device camera
