2018. Zotero allows to create citations on Google Docs

Free Reference Management program Zotero implemented integration with Google Docs (in addition to Microsoft Word and LibreOffice). This integration allows users to search for items in their Zotero library, add page numbers and other details and insert citations into their Google Docs. A formatted bibliography can be inserted with a single click based on the citations in the document. The software supports complex style requirements and name disambiguation and updates citations and bibliographies automatically as changes are made to library items. Additionally, the software can reformat the entire document in any of the over 9,000 citation styles that Zotero supports. The Google Docs support is part of the Zotero Connector for Chrome and Firefox, which adds a new Zotero menu to the Google Docs interface.
