Upgrade StorageRTF Scan
Hi all,
I've posted this comment before elsewhere, but it was suggested that I start a new discussion.
I have been typing the citation markers into Scrivener as I go along in the style of the RTF Scan supported formats (i.e. I've just written {Glasser & Strauss 1967}, {Glasser & Strauss 1967; Bryman 2012} etc into Scrivener instead of copying the reference from Zotero and pasting into Scrivener as I go). Once I'm done, I then just compile the Scrivener document and run the RTF scan on the Word document afterwards to convert all the markers.
This works really well, but I noticed that RTF Scan doesn't automatically support/extract/reformat all markers, such as in the following format:
- Glaser and Strauss (1967, p. 61) argue that 'researchers will know once saturation has been reached...'
which could be written as Glaser and Strauss {1967, 61}. RTF only supports these formats:
- Smith {2009}
- and {Smith, 2009, 10-14}
Essentially there is no middle ground for in-text citations which must include page numbers.
Similarly, it does not automatically extract and reformat "as cited in" markers, for example:
- Glaser and Strauss (1967; as cited in Bryman 2012)argue that...
- (Glaser & Strauss 1967; as cited in Bryman 2012)
I can just copy-paste these types of troublesome citations from Zotero while I'm writing, but it would be great to have RTF Scan extract and reformat these citations/markers automatically on RTF files.
Regards,
Rhiannon

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Did you ever find a solution to this? Life you, I prefer the {} and RTF scan way of working with Scrivener and Zotero, but am having problems with references to multiple pages, as in:
{Barrow, 1988, 4, 9-14}
If anyone has a fix for this it would be enormously appreciated!
Best,
Caitlin
