Exporting Collection Structure

ejzejz · September 3, 2017

Is there a way to export the structure that I use (collection organization)? I'd like to use the same for other applications, without having to recreate it all by hand. Thanks.

For example, into a word document, a similar structure of folders in dropbox, or (best of all) Devonthink entries.

While you can export Zotero items with their collections (using Zotero RDF), I'm afraid the answer for your purposes is no.

The only thing that I could possibly see working is to use ZotFile to replicate the collection structure as folders (which would then also hold files)

Thanks for responding.

Is there a way to export the collections as a word document?
I have organised collections for a paper and wish to put all the references within their collections as subheadings. This is a multi-nested setup with 5 layers and 4-10 sub groups within each layer.

You can generate a report from your collection and save that (make sure to select "HTML only"); word can read HTML.

(not sure whether that'll nest the heading though)
