Zotero Nanopublication Plugin¶
Transform your research workflow into semantic knowledge creation.
What This Plugin Does¶
The Zotero Nanopublication Plugin bridges the gap between traditional research management and the semantic web by enabling researchers to:
Key Benefits
- 🔗 Connect your Zotero library to the nanopublication ecosystem
- 📝 Create semantic statements from PDF annotations
- 🔍 Discover related nanopublications from other researchers
- 🤝 Collaborate through machine-readable research claims
Quick Overview¶
Transform your reading notes into structured, citable statements that contribute to the global knowledge graph.
Create semantic reviews and evaluations that other researchers can discover and build upon.
Share structured research insights that integrate seamlessly across research teams.

What are Nanopublications?¶
New to Nanopublications?
Nanopublications are the smallest possible units of publishable information that represent scientific knowledge in a machine-readable format. They consist of:
- Assertion: The core scientific claim or statement
- Provenance: Information about how the assertion was made
- Publication Info: Metadata about the nanopublication itself
This plugin helps researchers create nanopublications from their reading workflow, making their insights part of the broader semantic web of scientific knowledge.
