add Notes to bibliography

jibrauer

For my document (dissertation) the last section is "References and Notes" meaning that I need to be able to insert plain text instead of a reference to published work. I can make a standalone note in Zotero, as in not attached to any reference, then reference it in the document, but I only get the abbreviated note, the part that makes the "title" field. The Citation Style I'm using is the American Chemical Society (http://www.zotero.org/styles/american-chemical-society) which has a <choose> in the csl with a bunch of <else-if type=>s. What do I need to add to see my note? Something along the lines of:

<else-if type="note">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text variable="note"/>
</group>
</else-if>

But that doesn't work.

you might want to look at a note-based styles, i.e. a style that uses Words endnotes instead of a bibliography.
Zotero in general is somewhat limited wrt to the types of citation requirements used in Chemistry (e.g. you can also not include several items in one number the bibliography as 1. a) ... b) ... )

Zotero Notes cannot really be used for citations and there is no way to display the full text of a note.

Well, that's interesting. Thanks for your response. Until that gets ironed out, I suppose I'll make my note as the title of a journal article.
