Zotero Integration

Connect your Zotero library to BioSkepsis and chat with your own curated paper collections. Import papers, ask questions, synthesize findings, and export discoveries — all without re-downloading PDFs or leaving the platform.

Getting Connected
  1. Authorize Zotero: Navigate to the Zotero settings page in BioSkepsis and connect your Zotero account via OAuth
  2. Browse collections: Your Zotero library and collections appear inside BioSkepsis once connected
  3. Select papers: Choose individual papers or entire collections to import into a research session
  4. Start researching: Ask questions, extract data, and synthesize findings across your curated papers
What You Can Do
  • Import papers: Bring your existing Zotero collections into BioSkepsis for AI-powered analysis
  • Full-text analysis: Ask detailed questions across your imported papers with full-context reasoning
  • Cross-collection synthesis: Combine papers from multiple Zotero collections in a single research session
  • Export back: Add newly discovered papers from BioSkepsis searches back to your Zotero library in one click
  • Foundational papers: Discover the shared references underlying your collection that you may not have explicitly connected
Bidirectional Sync

The integration works in both directions:

  • Zotero → BioSkepsis: Import your existing collections to analyse with AI
  • BioSkepsis → Zotero: Export citation-backed insights and newly discovered references back to your library

Reference Export Formats

Beyond Zotero sync, BioSkepsis also supports exporting references in RIS format, compatible with Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, and other reference managers. See Reference Export for details.
