Citations in Google Scholar are as reliable as the rest of the metadata, I would not trust them for any serious work.
-
Thanks for these details. Then, as far as I can see, the URL is properly captured into Zotero, however APA says that the link must not be displayed in such cases: https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/dois-urls So the short…

As requested before: specific examples are needed in order to understand the cause.

How are you adding the reference into your library? In many cases, the link will be automatically captured in the URL field, but you can add it manually if necessary. When it comes to the bibliography in a document, the presence of the link will be…

The book probably can't be found in any source used for ISBN lookup, for example it is not in WorldCat https://search.worldcat.org/search?q=9780137515424&offset=1 You can try to find it (or an equivalent print version since this is an ebook; th…

Not yet, but there are a few plugins to do this: https://github.com/northword/zotero-format-metadata https://github.com/lizeyan/Zotero-meta-update

Sorry, I do not understand what your problem is. Your picture shows the normal Word connector, but the actual question is still unclear to me. Could you explain in more details, using the structure given in the following link: https://www.zotero.o…

What do you mean by "Word and Zotero disconnected"? Is it one of these situations? https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/existing_citations_not_detected

There is no central "Zotero metadata" that can be fixed, Zotero doesn't have a general metadata store for all of its users (if that's what you meant). Metadata is obtained from various sources using scripts called translators. And these translators …

Okular is based on a completely different technology (C++ language + KDE/Qt libraries vs. Javascript + Firefox for Zotero), it feels extremely difficult to re-use its code in Zotero. But I suppose you could open the PDF file in Okular (or another t…

Wouldn't it be easier to just add the reference using its DOI? https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier

Webdav will be included before the official version comes out, yes, this has been answered a couple of times in this thread.
-
The book is probably not listed in the sources that Zotero uses for such imports https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier For example, the ISBN cannot be found in Worldcat. However, Norway has a good union catalo…

The Zotero server is open source https://github.com/zotero/dataserver , but it is apparently not trivial to set up and no support is provided if you want to do this. So you'd be essentially on your own.
-
What you can do is identify which plugin is causing the problem, and report it to the plugin developer. This will give them a chance to fix it, which would solve the problem for you and for other users. There is hope, you just need to find where hel…

The problem was also reported on Github: https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues/3302 I have a debug ID for https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4939-1408-1 : D687680210 Help is welcome.

Sorry if my response was confusing, I didn't mean to imply that you were impatient. Quite the opposite, actually, you were understandably worried by a technical problem, but both of your messages were very polite. The point of my link was to provid…

You're not violating any rules, no worries! https://www.zotero.org/support/forum_guidelines#be_patient This doesn't feel like standard Zotero behavior. Do you see this with other PDFs? Did you do something special with this one recently? Are you us…

It will take however long it takes to stabilize Zotero 7, and as far as I am concerned whoever needs a totally stable version should clearly use Zotero 6 for the moment. Zotero 7 beta is called "beta" for a good reason, no one should rely on it for …

Maybe a stronger warning would be useful on https://www.zotero.org/support/beta_builds ?

Crossing my fingers for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, obviously this is a lot of stress and I wish them the best for their thesis! If v72 works for them in this final week, that's certainly the most conforable solution.
-
Using beta software for your thesis is an unwise choice, that's all I can say for sure. Large, important documents with a deadline are the exact situation where you need a reliable tool, which beta software isn't, by definition - I know it doesn't s…

Can you be more specific?
-
I'm not sure that it really makes sense to use an older beta version: you would not get any support if something doesn't work. And obviously things will break more often since it is a beta version! If something doesn't work properly in the latest b…

I don't use the plugin myself except for testing purposes. So you are the only judge of your own experience... if it isn't right for you, you can uninstall it at any time. Updates: the plugin developers release updates when the timing feels right t…

OCR is possible in Zotero 6 and 7 using this plugin https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/zotero-ocr When you write "scan", what do you mean in the context of Zotero?
