ChatGPT Plugins for Research, Explained
What plugins are, how to connect them, and why they matter for trust. 20 minutes, start to finish.
RegisterChatGPT can answer a research question fast, but on its own it has no connection to the citation databases, personal libraries, or document delivery systems that research actually runs through. Plugins close that gap, and this session walks through what they are, which ones are worth adding, and how to connect them.

- What plugins are and how they connect to ChatGPT
- The main options worth knowing for research workflows
- Live demo: connecting and prompting with Scite and Zotero

Who this is for: researchers, librarians, and R&D teams who've heard about ChatGPT plugins but haven't had time to sort out which ones matter or how to set them up. No prior plugin experience needed.
The time commitment: 20 minutes, no more. Block your calendar for a coffee break and you're covered.
