Export from csv to Zotero
Hi guys,
I needed to export my library from Zotero into R to make a random sampling. After sampling, I want to re-import the library again into Zotero. Does anybody know how to import the csv file into Zotero? Or would you suggest to use another format?
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
regards,

I guess re-importing the csv file would have been too easy. Is there another option how to make a random sampling?
It is a literature analysis, so I need to randomly sample 4000 papers out of 100.000. I managed to create a csv file with the sampled papers, but I want to import it back into Zotero.
Edit:
You could also do this using batch editing in Zotero for Firefox. Install the Execute JS Firefox plugin. Then, you can use a script like this one here: https://gist.github.com/bwiernik/3e515f368872943ec12de524753217d7
That script assigns a value of 0 or 1 to the Call Number field of each item in a collection or saved search according to a specified probability. (I haven't tested it, but it should work fine).
