Grabbing Text From Webpages
Because new research often incorporates pre-existing work, Zotero makes it easy for you to migrate quotable material from a web-based source into your notes. Highlight the relevant text, right-click (ctrl-click on the Mac) to open a pop-up menu, and select “Create Zotero Item and Note from Selection”. This will create a new library item with the selected text as an attached note. In this way, Zotero facilitates transcription as well as annotation.
