Is it possible to view all instances in which a Zotero citation has been quoted in a Word document?

G-Radiation

If I cite source X inside MS Word, is there any way to see this inside Zotero? Can I get a list of all quoted instances, maybe even across different documents?

With this feature, it would be possible to gather dozens of texts for literature review, go through the texts and collect citations in Word, and then see in the list of literature which ones have already been read as well as the context in which they have been quoted.

You can try JurisM

Interesting, I've never heard of JurisM. Do you use it yourself? Which function of JurisM covers what I need here?

In particular, I would be curious to know whether it supports ZotFile and Zutilo, as those provide essential features to Zotero.

I downloaded JurisM, but it didn't import my Zotero library. Could you help me with that?

After searching a bit more, it looks like a lot of people are actually looking for such a feature.

Yes，I do use JurisM myself.

You can use Jurism similar to zotero, log it using the zotero account. All your data could be sync to your computer.

The feature you mentioned can be found https://juris-m.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jurism-extras.html#document-cite-extraction

The feature is planned in Zotero. You can use https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor/ for some scenarios, but it won't give you all the functionality you want.

Use the Reference Extractor online tool https://rintze.zelle.me/ref-extractor tool for references. It will select the referenced items in zotero (from Browser page)

How do I use Reference Extractor with Zotero. I am not sure if this is a plug in that I need to add and if so how do I go about this.

adamsmith

No, it's a website to which you upload the Word Doc, it then gives you an option to "Select in Zotero" (by clicking on a link) all the items cited in that Word document.

Note this doesn't do any of the context-related things listed above. It just lists the references.

Thanks. That did the trick. Works well. Looking forward to when this is incorporated directly into Zotero.

Any update about the integration of the feature with Zotero?
