Zotero  is a free bibliographic management tool that lets you lay out your bibliography with a single click and take notes on your reading. If you're new to Zotero, here's a brief overview of the features with an episode of "Salut c'est la BU!"

A Zotero style has been developed especially for doctoral students in SHS by the Sorbonne University Library (BSU) with the help of a doctoral student. It takes into account the recommendations of Sorbonne Université Presse and the thesis directors of the Faculty of Arts. To find out how to use it, follow this link to Zenodo.
