Zotero

This report reflects the findings of a high-level assessment of the Zotero Standalone for its conformance with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 (WCAG 2.1).

The Zotero application has practically no issues with WCAG 2.1 compliance. The tool works very well, is accessible using keyboard navigation, and has excellent screen reader support. The processes we tested were easy to perform using standard patterns for accessible navigation with screen reader support. 

The test cases for this evaluation also reviewed the Zotero Connector browser extension. We were able to test this across three different browsers in the allotted time for this evaluation: Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. The Chrome and Edge extensions had similar performance and pulled nearly identical information. Firefox on the other hand worked much better and was able to pull much more information from the provided article, including a PDF attachment, which neither the Chrome nor Edge version were able to do.
