The latest FOSS Academic post is an early review of Zotero 8, the latest from @zotero . TL;DR version: I might just use this version to do a lot more 'synthetic' note taking, a practice I had been doing in Zettlr with Markdown files.

I've been using Zotero since 2009 and I can't imagine doing my job without it. Kudos to the team at Digital Scholar!

I've thought about using Zotero, which is a Free Code under AGPL;

https://www.zotero.org/

It does depend on a server, but AFAIK the free tier would be fine for syncing bookmarks, etc. A non-geek friend used it during her PhD thesis and rated it so highly she paid for more storage.

There might be a way to self-host a Zotero server? Never looked into it.

(2/2)

I'm rather astonished by the number of trackers the Zotero Android app has. 24 to be exact. Not sure what the business model of the app is, however I find this fact seriously deterrent for someone to install the app.

I built my wife a tool to survive her PhD and thought other researchers might want it too. Zotero's essential for citations, but she was struggling to know what to read next versus what she'd already read.

Paperstack is basically Goodreads for academic papers. Import from Zotero, sort by stack and tag, achieve calm.

that whooshing sound you just heard was me upgrading #Zotero to their new version, 8.0.

Unfortunately, I've run into a bug involving Zotero's PDF reader and now I can hardly get anything done! But I did report it like a good human. I'm sure they will fix it. But I don't recommend upgrading just yet if you're on Linux.

Rebooted #Zotero and was surprised to discover it updated to Zotero 8. Really excited about some of these new features:
- annotations available in library view - and searchable!
- notes as their own tabs vs a detached window
- now has ARM Linux support, which might interest some of you on Apple hardware
