Summary

  • Reference libraries should be created through Zotero. Contact Dr. Helmus for access

Zotero Libraries

A single reference library should be made for each project. Here at the iEco Lab, we would like you to use Zotero to build your reference libraries. Zotero is nice since it links with Microsoft Word allowing for the easy conversion of citations and references between different styles. In the iEco Lab, you will need to contact Dr. Helmus for access to a Zotero library that has unlimited size. The PI(s) and Project Lead will then determine which researchers working on the project will have access to the library.

Reference Folder Libraries

However, libraries can also be built through folders broken up by subject, manuscript, or some other logical category within the ‘references’ subfolder of the project folder. PDF files of papers should be named in the following way:

\[<Author(s)>\_<Year>[<Brief Description>]\]

For papers with more than one author follow in text citation rules. For example:

\[Weterings \space et \space al\_2019[House \space geckos \space and \space epidemics].pdf\] \[Perella \space and \space Behm\_2020[Impact \space and \space Spread \space of \space Carib \space Exotic \space Geckos].pdf\] \[Janzen\_1985[On \space Ecological \space Fitting].pdf\]
