STEP

ACTION

Step 1

Access to the TiMMA Zotero library must be requested from bastien.rueff@efa.gr

Step 2

Create a Zotero account from https://www.zotero.org/user/register

Step 3

Download Zotero and the Zotero connector for your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera)

Step 4

You should then see the TiMMA library in your Zotero standalone interface.

STEP

ACTION

Step 1

Before importing, make sure the reference does not already exist in the TiMMA Zotero library (use the filter mode in the TiMMA database or search the main TiMMA library collection).

Step 2

Open Zotero (references cannot be imported when Zotero is closed).

Step 3

Click on the relevant collection in the TiMMA Zotero library (left panel). If creating a new collection, respect the thematic organization (by site, method, etc.) and keep collections to a minimum. Eg. Malia – Quartier Mu / Malia – Pi Area.

Step 4

Search for the reference in a bibliographical browser (e.g. Worldcat, Sudoc, etc.).

Step 5

Click on the Zotero connector icon (book or blank page) in the top right corner to process the import. Metadata and PDF should automatically be included.

Step 6

If the import failed, click and drop the file manually to its proper collection. A simple drag-and-drop of a PDF from a metadata-enabled website also works.

Step 7

You can also create or modify references manually in the right panel, though this is more time-consuming.

STEP

ACTION

Step 1

Go to the TiMMA database and click on Zotero Import > Import in the bottom right panel.

Step 2

Select the ‘Bibliography’ item set.

Step 3

Click on the ‘Group’ button.

Step 4

Fill in the library ID (4606631) and the API key (cJ8bcbxunUO53WQ9mznrg3dZ) fields. Once filled, the cells will automatically recall them.

Step 5

Click on the ‘Import files’ button.

Step 6

Indicate the day when the references were imported and a fictitious hour before which the import was completed.

Step 7

Click on Submit and verify that the correct number of files has been imported (this may take some time for large imports).

TYPE

NOTE

💡 Tip

The least time-consuming workflow is to anticipate and import as many references as possible before filling the database. Do not hesitate to ask for help if something goes wrong.

📅 Example

References imported on February 1st 2023 at 12:00 → In the ‘Added after’ cell, type: 01/02/2023, 08:00

✅ Verify

To ensure references were successfully imported, click on Zotero Import > Past Imports in the left panel and verify the number of imported references.

⚠️ Attention

It might take several minutes, especially when importing many references at the same time. Be patient.
