NotebookBloom: Check these four fields before trusting a NotebookLM-to-Zotero import

BibTeX removes repetitive typing. It does not remove the need to check metadata.

  1. Title — especially when the PDF filename is meaningless.
  2. Author — organization and personal authors are often mixed up.
  3. Year and DOI/URL — verify the publication year and route back to the original.

A clean-looking Zotero record can still contain bad source metadata. Import first, verify second.

Automation should save time without turning unchecked data into a polished-looking citation.

I built NotebookBloom around this workflow: https://notebookbloom.com/blog/notebooklm-zotero/
