Save a paper in Zotero, and a new row appears in your Notion 'Paper Library' automatically. This uses Notero, a free Zotero plugin. Set it up once and you're done!

<aside> 💡

Check before you start!

• Duplicate this template into your own Notion first
• You need Zotero 7 or later (Zotero → Settings → check for updates)
• Sync is one-way, Zotero → Notion. Edits made in Notion don't go back to Zotero </aside>

1. Install the Notero plugin

1. Find the dvanoni/notero repository on GitHub and open Releases ( github.com/dvanoni/notero )
2. Download the latest .xpi file
3. In Zotero's top menu, open Tools → Plugins
4. Click the gear icon (top right) → Install Plugin From File and pick the .xpi file
5. Restart Zotero

2. Connect Notion

1. Open Tools → Notero Preferences
2. Click the Notion Connect button → a browser window opens
3. Choose the workspace with this template, and in page selection check this template page
4. Click Allow access → Open Zotero, and you're connected

3. Pick the database and collections

1. In Notero Preferences, set Notion database to Paper Library
2. For Page title format, Item Title is recommended
3. Check the collections to sync — e.g., create a 'Lab' collection in Zotero and check only that one

4. Test the sync

1. Save a paper with the Zotero Connector in Chrome and put it in a checked collection
2. If a new row appears in Papers & Resources in Notion a few seconds later, it worked!
