Importing RIS files generated by Google Scholar.
Hi
I tend to get refs into Zotero by using the RIS export ( by selecting refman); however, it always seems to add them to a collection called scholar. Is there a way of either adding them directly to a particular collection, or (which I prefer, though reading the comments not so common for others) directly to the library?
At present, I just delete the collection but not the items, but it seems a bit fiddly - especially as, if adding them directly from the browser, they just go into the library, rather than a named collection.
I can see that, if you're adding several papers via a single .ris file, it can be useful to have named it to autogenerate the collection - but not so much if it's a single paper.

But yeah, I'd use the direct import, it uses the same data (bibtex rather than RIS, but same data) and we can clean it up some as necessary. It should never be worse than the RIS.
