Zotion

by ptigas · github.com/ptigas/zotion

Sends notes on your papers from Zotero into a Notion database.

Zotion has Atlas grade A (recommended) because every code check came out low. It's a Zotero 6 plugin, so Zotero 7 and later can't load it. What to use instead. Last checked 6 Nov 2026.

What it does

Written by AI from the README

Sends notes on your papers from Zotero into a Notion database. You create a Notion integration, share a database template with it, and enter the secret key and database ID in the plugin's preferences.

People who keep their reading notes in Notion otherwise copy paper details across by hand.

Your review is public, under the name you give, and published with the directory's data under CC BY 4.0. Links are removed. We never store your IP address: a scrambled code made from it is kept for 30 days to catch fake reviews.
