Our first new wave of bibliographic styles is now available. We now support IEEE, Nature and the National Library of Medicine‘s bibliographic styles. It is now easier than ever to work with references in these formats. If you find any formatting issues with these styles please post your comments in this thread. If you are still waiting for Zotero to support your favorite style post your suggestion in this thread, or consider creating your own bibliographic style.
Just in time for the fall semester Mozilla has launched a new edition of Firefox. Firefox Campus Edition comes preloaded with Zotero, FoxyTunes, and StumbleUpon. Now it is even easier to get your friends and colleagues to switch to Zotero and Firefox. Just one download gets them both!
We are excited to announce the launch of Zotero 1.0 Release Candidate 2. This release adds many new features.
Zotero now offers full-text indexing of PDFs, adding your archived PDFs to the searchable text in your collection.
Zotero’s integration with word processing tools has been greatly improved. The MS Word plugin works much more seamlessly and we now support OpenOffice on Windows, Mac (in the form of NeoOffice), and Linux.
Zotero is also now better integrated with the desktop. Users can drag files from their desktop into their Zotero collection and can also drag attachments out of their Zotero collection onto their desktop.
We have begun to add tools to browse and visualize Zotero collections in new ways. Using MIT’s SIMILE Timeline widget, Zotero can now generate timelines from any collection or selected items.
The new version of CSL (Citation Style Language), used by Zotero to format references into specific styles, is more human readable and easier to edit. We will be adding many more styles soon.
Users should also notice some performance enhancements. Zotero now runs smoother on Windows and Linux.
Stay tuned for more detailed information on these developments. We will post more documentation and screencasts about these features in the next few weeks. We have also added support for a host of additional web resources:
Research Databases
ARTFL Encyclopédie
OpticsInfoBase
Institute of Physics
RSC Publishing
News
The Economist
Time
The Age
The Australian
New Zealand Herald
Sydney Morning Herald

Genealogy
Ancestry.com

We have added support for an array of additional sites and databases. Zotero can now automatically capture bibliographic information from even more library catalogs, science databases, and news sites.
Check out how easy it is to capture bibliographic information from the sites below.
European Library Catalogs:
German Common Library Network
Norwegian Catalog BIBSYS
Science Journals and Databases:
BioMed Central
most of the American Geophysical Union’s Journals
the American Meteorological Society’s Online Journals
News Sites:
BBC News
LA Times
Education Week
We are diligently working to support other sites, catalogs, and databases. If there are other sites that Zotero does not currently support that you believe would be valuable to other Zotero users, you can suggest them in this thread, or you can pitch in and develop a site translator yourself.
