An Important Warning About Citation Tools
Although the Zotero resources are some of best tools for helping with APA citations, it is very important to remember that no citation software or tool is perfect. They will sometimes make mistakes. Whenever you use any kind of tool or software to generate citations, you will always need to read them over to make sure that they are correct. If you do not remember to check your citations, then you risk getting in trouble for accidental plagiarism because of incorrect citations.
