Some small wording changes but otherwise looks good.

I'm ok with this being only on the SciX side, but can you update the PR title to make that clear? Just something like "add zotero help page to SciX help"


When you are viewing search results or a specific paper in SciX, you can use the Zotero browser extension to automatically extract the metadata of the paper(s) and save them directly to your collections.

Our team contributes to and maintains the Zotero translators for SciX data to ensure the highest accuracy. If you encounter any issues using Zotero with SciX, please contact us directly.
