Importing references from article or book bibliographies
Importing references from article or book bibliographies
Check the bibliographies of existing articles to see if there are references that are useful to your own bibliographic library. You can copy and paste these from a PDF into ANYSTYLE.IO and it will try to parse them into BibTex records that can be imported into Zotero.
