rtf scan wrong abbreviations

andreaspita · September 11, 2014

Hi,
I am using Zotero standalone on my Linux/Ubuntu with the rtf scan method. I prefer to use this feature (missing in other free program ...) because I share my doc with other people which use different OS/Writer program and I found it very useful. Now, I have a problem with the abbreviation format when I use this function (rtf scan). Basically no abbreviations at all of the journal but the full name. this happens with any kind of style. If I do insert the citation using the libreoffice-plugin the abbreviations are inserted properly.
is this a bug?

thanks for any help

and

The RTF scan just uses what's in the Journal Abbr. field. The automated abbreviations are only available via word-processor add-on at this time (and in the near future).

Quick question: is there any way to cite a reference as plain text (i.e. {samson, 2012} rather than a link (thinking about plugin in libreoffice)? that would avoid problem with other my collegaues.

thanks
