Positionierung
Zotero is framed here as Local-first reference library and citation manager. Zotero remains the strongest local-first default for student and academic reference management. The new data points reinforce the core positioning: the desktop workflow works without an account, sync is optional and disabled by default, paid storage funds a nonprofit project, and the main editorial risk is not capability but governance around sync, attachments, plugins, and group ownership.

- Evidenz
- synthetisiert
- Studierende und Forschende, die einen kostenlosen, lokal-zuerst-Referenzmanager mit starken Zitations-Plugins wollen
- Langfristige Literaturbibliotheken, bei denen Exportierbarkeit, Open-Source-Tooling und institutionelle Unabhängigkeit zählen
- Workflows, die Browser-Erfassung, PDFs, Annotationen, Word-/LibreOffice-/Google-Docs-Zitationen und Gruppenbibliotheken kombinieren
- Thesis projects where local files, optional sync, and explicit storage choices are easier to defend than a cloud-only library
