Zotero is a tool for collecting and managing bibliographic data. Zotero is especially useful as a data collection tool for computational humanities, since it is quite good at scraping metadata and (when
available) full-text documents from databases like Google Scholar, JSTOR, and PubMed.
For an introduction to collecting bibliographic metadata and full-text content with Zotero, see Building a Text Collection with Zotero.
In order to work with your Zotero collection in external applications, you will first need to export it in Zotero RDF format.
This will create a new directory with the name that you specified in step 7. Inside, you should find a file with the same name, and a ``.rdf`` extension. If you opted to include attached files (step 4), you should also see a folder called "files".
