Edit multiple references

olivier.lerouzic
How can I do to edit multiple references?
- to homogenize publication names (uppercase, lowercase)
- to homogenize journal abbreviations
Thank you for your help

    1) Batch editing is scheduled (for Zotero 4.2). In the meantime, you can use the JavaScript API if you feel comfortable with it (it's not hard to do, but don't forget to back up your library).
    (Edit: in your case, the first line should be var fieldName = "journalAbbreviation";

    2) While Zotero (4.0+) can automatically abbreviate journal titles, you can't, at the moment add your own list of abbreviations. That's however possible with the Abbreviation Filter plugin.



    Edit :
    -You can convert the contents of the title and publisher fields to either lower or title case by right-clicking the field and using the Transform Text menu.
    -It is recommended to store the titles in sentence case.
