Sciencedirect never makes the pdf link visible. Or am I missing some step here?

When you create from the current page, you often have to enter the metadata yourself, unless you see an icon in the location bar that is one of the zotero document types. Have you played with JabRef? With Zotero and JabRef, you never have to edit bibtex again. well, I hope you're not "done" because Zotero makes a big difference.

When you're on a site with references that Zotero knows how to read, like say, Google Scholar or EBSCO or whatever, you'll usually get a folder icon or a "printed page" icon. (The "Create new item from current page" thing is more for non-reference-y sites that Zotero doesn't quite know how to interpret in the usual reference-y way.) When you see the folder icon in your address bar, that means you're on a page with a list of references that Zotero can import. Click on the folder, and select the references you want to import from the list (or pick "Select All"). When you see the "printed page" icon, you're on a page with a single reference. Click on the icon, and your reference is saved. A couple ways to save the article PDF together with your citation: - With the PDF open in your browser, select the "Attachments" tab in Zotero for your citation, click on "Add," and select "Take snapshot of current page." or - Drag the PDF link onto the Zotero citation.
