Take and store notes in Zotero

Taking and storing notes in Zotero is an efficient way of keeping track of your research process.  You can take notes directly using Zotero Notes, or you can copy and past notes from another document on your computer.  You can also import notes documents into your Zotero library and store them there.

Editing Features

With Zotero Notes, you have basic word processor editing features, and you can edit and take notes in a separate window, if you prefer.
