manipulating zotero generated bibliography

martehei
Hi,
I have a long text with hundreds of references (in the category "documents" in zotero) to single documents from various archives, which I do not want as part of the final bibliography. Is there a way that I can get the zotero generated bibliography to omit these?
Any insight much appreciated.

Best,
Marte

    You can use "Edit Bibliography" to remove items from your bibliography.

    Thanks. I'm afraid I did not make myself clear - the problem is that there are several hundred of them, that's why I wondered if the bibliography can be tweaked in csl to simply omit listing entry points under the category "documents" all together. I can of course do as you suggested, I am just wondering if there is a workaround for it so that I don't have to do it manually.
    Again, thanks.

    You can sort the bibliography based on some metadata field (not tags or collections) and then easily delete half of the bibliography that contains the said metadata. See http://aurimasv.github.io/z2csl/typeMap.xml for fields that you can generally use (some restrictions may apply). If you find something acceptable, we can guide you further.

    (note that having used "document" will cause you some trouble as it doesn't map to CSL. You'll need to test for everything else, document is the fallback. I generally recommend using manuscript or report instead, depending on the type of document)
