# Zotero Style Guide

## Overview

Zotero Style is one of the most popular Zotero plugins, adding extensive UI customization capabilities — custom columns (IF, citation count, reading progress), color-coded tags, visual indicators, and workflow enhancements. It transforms Zotero's default interface into a more informative and visually organized research library. Essential for researchers managing large paper collections.

## Installation

```bash
# Download latest .xpi from GitHub releases
# In Zotero: Tools → Add-ons → Install Add-on From File

# Or install via Zotero Plugin Market
# 1. Install zotero-addons plugin first
# 2. Search "Zotero Style" in the marketplace
```

## Custom Columns

### Impact Factor Column

```json
// Preferences → Zotero Style → Columns
{
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "IF",
      "field": "extra",
      "regex": "IF:\\s*([\\d.]+)",
      "width": 60,
      "sortable": true
    }
  ]
}
```

### Citation Count Column

```json
{
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "Citations",
      "field": "extra",
      "regex": "Citations:\\s*(\\d+)",
      "width": 70,
      "sortable": true,
      "format": "number"
    }
  ]
}
```

### Reading Progress Column

```json
{
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "Progress",
      "type": "progress",
      "width": 100,
      "display": "bar",
      "colors": {
        "0-25": "#EF4444",
        "25-75": "#F59E0B",
        "75-100": "#10B981"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## Tag Styling

```json
// Color-coded tags for visual organization
{
  "tagStyles": {
    "#important": {
      "color": "#EF4444",
      "emoji": "🔴",
      "position": "left"
    },
    "#to-read": {
      "color": "#3B82F6",
      "emoji": "📖",
      "position": "left"
    },
    "#methodology": {
      "color": "#8B5CF6",
      "position": "left"
    },
    "#dataset": {
      "color": "#10B981",
      "position": "left"
    }
  }
}
```

## Item Indicators

```json
// Visual indicators in item list
{
  "indicators": {
    "hasAnnotations": {
      "icon": "📝",
      "tooltip": "Has annotations"
    },
    "hasNotes": {
      "icon": "🗒️",
      "tooltip": "Has notes"
    },
    "isRetracted": {
      "icon": "⚠️",
      "color": "#EF4444",
      "tooltip": "Retracted paper"
    }
  }
}
```

## Workflow Integration

```javascript
// Zotero Style works with other plugins

// With zotero-actions-tags: auto-tag on read
// With zotero-better-bibtex: show citekey column
// With zotero-pdf-translate: translation indicators
// With zoplicate: duplicate detection badges

// Custom column from Better BibTeX citekey
{
  "columns": [{
    "name": "CiteKey",
    "field": "citationKey",
    "width": 120,
    "plugin": "better-bibtex"
  }]
}
```

## Layout Customization

```json
{
  "layout": {
    "itemPane": {
      "sections": ["info", "tags", "notes", "related"],
      "defaultTab": "info"
    },
    "columns": {
      "defaultVisible": [
        "title", "creator", "year", "IF",
        "Citations", "Progress", "tags"
      ],
      "defaultSort": {
        "field": "year",
        "direction": "desc"
      }
    },
    "density": "compact"
  }
}
```

## Recommended Setup for Researchers

```markdown
### Suggested Columns
1. Title (auto)
2. Creator/Authors (auto)
3. Year (auto)
4. Publication
5. IF (from Extra field)
6. Citations (from Extra field)
7. Reading Progress (bar)
8. Tags (color-coded)
9. CiteKey (if using BibTeX)

### Suggested Tags
- 🔴 #critical — Must-read papers
- 🟡 #review — Review/survey papers
- 🔵 #methodology — Methods papers
- 🟢 #dataset — Dataset papers
- 🟣 #baseline — Baseline/comparison
- ⬜ #to-read — Reading queue
```

## Use Cases

1. **Library organization**: Visual columns for quick paper assessment
2. **Reading tracking**: Progress bars for paper reading status
3. **Impact assessment**: IF and citation count at a glance
4. **Visual tagging**: Color-coded categorization system
5. **Custom workflows**: Plugin integration for automated organization

Is Zotero Style Guide safe to install?

The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.

What can Zotero Style Guide access on my machine?

The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.

Which assistants does Zotero Style Guide work with?

Its documentation mentions openclaw. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e1ba289846fd), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
