Bibliography window

MalcolmHLevitt · May 28, 2015

I would love to have a bibliography window so that one can select one or more references and then see what the bibliography citations would look like straight away, using a small menu to select the style.

I am using Zotero to paste formatted bibliography items over into other programs (for example Keynote, or graphics programs) so I want to look at them before copying and pasting.

I just switched from EndNote where this is a standard feature and although there are many things I much prefer in Zotero I do miss this one.

we do have https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/reference_test_pane

which may work for you, though it's not perfect. I'd like a summary/preview tab on the right and there have been several discussions, but I don't think any of it is going to happen very fast.

Thanks - I did notice this and have a sniff at it, but concluded it was too complex and awkward for my purposes.

I may end up just having to keep a dummy Word file open to paste citations into, or something like that.
