How To Add Citation and Bibliography Manually from Zotero

Zotero can help you to take manually one by one citation and bibliography entry, beside it can also help you to do those automatically. This manual approach is suitable if you need to insert citation manually into another text editor (outside of LibreOffice Writer scopes) such as LibreOffice Impress or any other plain text editor. This article consists of two main parts, inserting citation and inserting bibliography. This article assumes you have installed Zotero or its Stand Alone version.
