Zotero recognizes almost all library catalogs, most news sites, research databases and scientific publishers.

For many sites, Zotero has website-specific “translators” to obtain the best quality metadata. Other websites provide only limited metadata (e.g., only the title of a blog post) or no metadata at all. Some websites provide very high-quality data using a standard way to provide Zotero with data (via embedded metadata). The quality of the data Zotero imports is determined by the information supplied on the webpage.
