Notero: Zotero-Notion Sync Guide

Overview

Notero is a Zotero plugin that syncs your reference library to a Notion database. When you add or update items in Zotero, Notero automatically creates or updates corresponding Notion pages with metadata (title, authors, DOI, tags), annotations, and notes. Bridges the gap between reference management and knowledge management workflows.

Installation

# 1. Download .xpi from GitHub releases
# 2. In Zotero: Tools → Add-ons → Install Add-on From File

# Prerequisites:
# - Zotero 7
# - Notion account with a database for papers
# - Notion integration token

Notion Database Setup

### Required Properties
Create a Notion database with these properties:

| Property | Type | Description |
|----------|------|-------------|
| Title | Title | Paper title (auto-filled) |
| Authors | Rich text | Author names |
| Year | Number | Publication year |
| DOI | URL | Digital Object Identifier |
| URL | URL | Paper link |
| Abstract | Rich text | Paper abstract |
| Tags | Multi-select | Zotero tags |
| Item Type | Select | Article, book, etc. |
| Zotero URI | URL | Link back to Zotero item |
| Date Added | Date | When added to Zotero |
| Publication | Rich text | Journal/conference name |

# 2. Database ID:
#    - Open your Notion database
#    - Copy the ID from the URL
#    - Format: notion.so/<workspace>/<database_id>?v=...

# 3. Property Mapping:
#    - Map Zotero fields to Notion properties
#    - Configure which fields to sync

# 4. Sync Settings:
#    - Auto-sync on add/modify
#    - Sync annotations (highlights + notes)
#    - Sync attachments (link to PDF)

2. Right-click → "Sync to Notion"
3. Bulk sync supported

### Annotation Sync
