I was looking to batch import around 180 articles into Zotero (don't judge me), but couldn't find a direct way to do it. Pasting PMIDs into the "Add Articles" box did not work for me.
However, what worked was following:
- Generate the list of articles you wish to be batch imported on PubMed
- Use "Send To" feature to export an XML file of all the article
- Within Zotero, Use "File > Import" and add the XML file.
- Select all articles, right click, and select "Find available PDF".
Zotero should search for available PDFs for all your articles and save them to the library. So much winning!
