Please follow the step-by-step guide to upload your citations from Zotero into Elements

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Export Library

Open Zotero. Click on the grey gear icon in the top menu, and choose "Export Library."

Step 2: Choose file type

In the new window choose “RIS” from the drop down menu next to “Format.” Click OK.

Step 3: Save File

Save the .ris file (remember where!), and then log into Elements.

Step 4: Login to UGA Elements

After you are logged in, use the drop-down "Menu" to access the Import link.

Step 5: Import file

Click “Choose File” to upload the .ris file. (Ex. Unless you have specified otherwise, the file will mostly likely be downloaded into your “Downloads Folder”)
Next-make sure you check the button for “Reference Manager/Endnote" file type, then click the blue “Upload” button.
The uploaded files will go directly to your "Mine folder", so you will need to review for accuracy.

Step 6: Review and Edit

Sometimes items are not categorized properly in the online database or manually entered by other faculty members, so you may need to change the activity type to another type. Ex. I wrote a book chapter, but it is typed as a book.

Use the pencil icon to change the type. Make sure you click "Save" to move the file to the other folder.
