Zotero is a free software you can use to:

1. Save citations from Olin Library resources or the open Web;
2. Organize citations;
3. Format in-text citations and your References list in Microsoft Word;

It saves lots of time in the long run. To get started:

1. Create an account: with a free Zotero account you can save and backup your citations in the cloud.
2. Zotero for your desktop: Download the software, so you can save citations to your computer. You can download either Windows or Mac versions. Zotero Desktop is the main software you'll use to organize citations with.
3. Zotero Connector: This is a plugin to your browser, so it can "translate" the information from the Web and save it to Zotero Desktop. The Zotero Connector also includes a citation interface for Google Docs.
4. Word Processor Plugin: This is automatically included in the Zotero desktop download. The plugin lets Zotero talk to Microsoft Word (Windows and Mac) and LibreOffice, so you can add in-text citations and references into your paper. This way, you no longer have to type citations by hand. See "Zotero Connector" above for Google Docs integration.

For questions about setting up or using Zotero, consult their Documentation, or contact your librarian for assistance.

APA (American Psychological Association) style is the most commonly used citation style in business, economics, social entrepreneurship, and related disciplines. However, please check with your instructor for their preferred citation style before using APA style in your own work. Below are some resources to get you started with APA style.
