When opening a @citekey page, either in the main section or in the sidebar, a menu will appear with additional data, links and action buttons :

Currently, the menu can display the following elements:

  • "Add metadata" button [all items]

  • "Import notes" button [only items which have notes in Zotero]

  • PDF links [only items which have associated PDF files]

  • Outgoing links to academic tools [all items] Connected Papers, Semantic Scholar, & Google Scholar

  • Badge from [only items with a DOI]

    • Displaying the number of citations the item has (all / supporting / mentioning / contrasting)

  • Open in Zotero (web/local) [all items]

  • Related papers (from ) [only items with a DOI]

    • References : papers which are referenced by the item

    • Citing papers : papers which cite the item

    • Related library items : references & citing papers which are in the user's Zotero library

You can decide which components to show, or when to show the menu, in your settings.

Navigating related papers

Related items in library

If there are references/citing papers which are stored in your (loaded) Zotero library, the button will indicate how many there are. Clicking on it will show the list :

Browsing references/citing papers

Clicking on "XX references" or "YY citing papers" will open a dialog, where you can search & sort papers that cite or are cited by your original paper:

Search is multi-field across title, authors' last names, and publication year.

As of v0.6.62, an "Add to Zotero" function is available. Note that, due to limitations of the Zotero standalone app, it's not possible to setup a combined "Add to Zotero & Roam" button. To make sure your new items are added to Roam, you can use the on today's Daily Note page.
