Invitation to a workshop from the series I want to know more: From source to citation: Zotero and AI tools for the modern scientist
Published on 16.3.2026
We invite you to a workshop by Mgr. Hana Auer Malinská, Ph.D. entitled "From Source to Citation: Zotero and AI Tools for the Modern Scientist", which will take place on March 20, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. via MS Teams.
Do you spend hours sorting PDFs, searching for sources, and manually formatting citations? There’s a better way! In this hands-on online workshop, you’ll learn how to use Zotero—the most powerful open-source citation manager—and combine it with the best AI tools that are changing the way scientists work with literature today. We’ll show you how to automatically map citation networks, extract key data from dozens of articles in minutes, or engage in a dialogue with your own research library.
You’ll leave the workshop with a functional workflow, concrete tools, and a clear idea of what to expect from AI—and what to avoid.
Mgr. Hana Auer Malinská, Ph.D. graduated from Masaryk University in Brno in 2012 with a degree in General and Molecular Genetics. Her dissertation focused on plant epigenetics and gene silencing for ribosomal RNA in hybrids of the genus Tragopogon.
Since 2015, she has been working at the Department of Biology at UJEP, where she teaches Plant Physiology, Molecular Biology, Didactics of Biology and Plant Biotechnology, and has also created specialized courses, including the practical course "Explant Cultures". Previously, she worked as a researcher at the Laboratory of Molecular Epigenetics of the Biophysical Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
Her international experience includes internships at Queen Mary, University of London (EMBO Short Term Fellowship) and the University of Florida, Gainesville (USA), focused on plant genetics and cytogenetics.
She is the author and co-author of 16 publications in Q1 journals, H-index 11, 455 citations. She participated in research projects of the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme and TAČR Zéta ("Optimization of energy biomass production"), including the development of a proven technology published in an impact journal.
She is a member of the board of the doctoral study "Landscape reclamation and ecosystem services" at the Faculty of Environment, UJEP and is actively involved in the popularization of plant biology and the use of artificial intelligence.
