 +Another particularly nifty functionality of Zotero is the integration of [[https://unpaywall.org/|Unpaywall]]. Everytime you save a journal entry from a site with paid subscription, Zotero can look for a legally free version of the same article using the Unpaywall database. Or, if you already have a journal entry with no attached pdf copy, you may right click on it and "Find Available PDF" will present itself as one of the options.
