Custom Item Types
Zotero has a number of pre-defined items types, e.g. journal article, report, thesis etc. There isn't a type for e.g. user manual. Is there a mechanism to create a new type, perhaps derived from an existing one?
Standard
Video
Podcast
etc
- Project name
- Project code
- Director
- Abstract
- Institutions
- Participants
- Funding
- Starting time
- Ending time
- ...
Now I am using a "Statute" as a project.
Other useful item would be "Standard" (like ISO, ASME, ASTM, DIM, etc)
Something like: title, author, date accessed/added/modified, publication/web platform, URL, DOI.
That would basically cover everything in my library with enough information to retrieve it in the future unambiguously.
Which is the point of a bibliography.
I'm not a fan of false busy work by choosing the perfect item type, and completing every available field.
