 If the references have ISBNs, DOIs, or PubMed IDs, you can use the [[:adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier|Add Item by Identifier]] function in Zotero to quickly add these items to your Zotero library.

Export parsed citations as BibTeX or CSL-JSON and import them into Zotero. Some people have also had success asking ChatGPT or other AI systems to parse bibliographies and generate BibTeX or CSL-JSON, though if you try this, you should check the output carefully for errors.
-Otherwise, your best option is to find the items online in a repository that Zotero supports, or, as a last resort, manually enter the references.
+Otherwise, your best option is to find the items online in a repository that Zotero supports — most likely just by searching the web for the citation — and saving to Zotero [[:adding_items_to_zotero#via_your_web_browser|with the Zotero Connector]]. This will help ensure that you get high-quality data that includes all fields that might be necessary in the citation style you're using.
+As a last resort, you can manually enter the references in Zotero.
 In all cases, you'll need to replace all existing citations in any document for which you want Zotero to generate a correct bibliography.
