My current system is to tag my ideas well and then copy/paste all those notes from Zotero into Onenote with the title of the article/post etc. At bottom of the following web page https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/4007/onenote-support/

For your use, it may be better to just work with links. The ZotSelect translator can copy direct links to items in Zotero. You can put this link into OneNote when you are taking notes relevant to a particular item. See the dicussion here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/20040/

From the other direction, you can create a link to a OneNote note by right-clicking on the note in the organizer and selecting "Copy Link to Page". You can attach this to the Zotero item as a URI to be able to navigate quickly between Zotero and Onenote.

Creating Bibliographies With Zotero

On Walden webinar Zotero Reference Manager: Advanced (17:10)


 * ~Adding Items by Hand**

Plus this one: http://ica.library.oregonstate.edu/tutorials/lesson/626--Introduction-to-Zotero?mid=24231&type=MiscellaneousResource&uid=1241

To manually add an item to your Zotero library, click the green “New Item” button at the top of the center column, and select the desired item type from the drop-down menu (the top level of the menu shows recently created item types; the complete list of item types, minus Web Page, can be found under “More”). An empty item of the selected item type will now appear in the center column. You can then manually enter the item's bibliographic information via the right column.


 * ~Creating an item from a website**

http://ica.library.oregonstate.edu/tutorials/lesson/626--Introduction-to-Zotero?mid=24236&type=MiscellaneousResource&uid=1241


 * ~Attachments**

attachment column – marked by a paper clip – marks items with at least one attachment with a dot. The dot will be colored blue if the attachment is present on the currently used computer and hollow if it is not.

LexisNexis Academic provides minimal metadata, making it difficult for Zotero to detect sources. You can select the "Export Bibliographic References" icon in the upper-right and then select the Export Type as "Download Bibliographic Data for other generators, e.g. EndNote." This will give you an RIS file to download and import into Zotero. However, please check the record after importing, as some fields might be empty. For more information visit the following link:

http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/21476/?Focus=113623

Download in RIS Format Option

If you do not have a subscription to RefWorks, but rather to another subscription-based tool like EndNote, the download option is the best for you. Your citations will download in .ris format which is standard for all bibliographic citation tools. You can even import this file into free services such as Zotero and EasyBib. Download the file from LexisNexis Academic and upload it right into any citation machine.

Click the Bibliographic Export icon from a single document or results list A dialog box will pop up with options Select the "Download Citations" option Click the red "Export" button Your browser will execute a dialog box asking you were you would like to save the file on your computer Choose to save the file An "Open with" option may be available on the dialog box. If you have a citation tool installed on your computer, you will be able to automatically read the file without saving. ++++++++++
