Description
• If you have ever felt being a dummy in every time citing references, if citation creates a huge problem in your academic life; this course is made for you.

• When I started writing my thesis, i faced a huge problem because i added the references manually, and the problem was that one of my supervisor professors asked me to reorder many paragraphs in different parts of thesis. This created additional stress on me because i have to change the order of 15 to 20 within the article, and this affected the whole references’ sequence number. I felt down, and decided to learn one of the available citation managers available. I tried Mendeley, and Endnote, however; i found Zotero much easier, i looked like it was made for dummies, i did not need special skills to learn, just practice. Overtime, i developed a lot of experience using the program, i taught my colleagues how to use it, and hence the idea of the course came out.

• Why Zotero, not others ?
– Because it is very simple , comprehensive, dynamic, and almost everything is automatic.
– This course consists of 45 mins to teach you how to use Zotero efficiently. Each video focuses on one idea or skill that you will
need will you write your manuscript or thesis. You can complete the course, watch it many it times, open them to apply
practically while writing; until you become professional.

• I created those videos with passion, tried to make them as simple and focused as possible, and i hope that you enjoy the whole course.
