The shelf

Good for tracing how a body of work grew over time — seeding a map from a few key papers and watching the citation network unfold around them.

My go-to for a fast first pass on a new topic — the graph view surfaces prior and derivative work you'd easily miss with keyword search alone.

What I write papers, reports, and slides in these days — one source renders to PDF, HTML, and manuscript formats without hand-wrangling each one separately.

The backbone of my reading workflow — every paper I read goes through Zotero first, tagged and linked to its PDF and notes before it goes anywhere else.
