Want to Copy Just Titles from Zotero to Excel

mgoldberg4
Hi all,
I am working on a meta-analysis with many articles in Zotero. I want to copy and paste 100 article titles from a Zotero folder within our Group Library to Excel document (and have each title listed in a separate Excel cell in a vertical column).

I was able to copy and paste a very long description of each article using CSV, but I want only the title, and not all of the other information. I tried the advice on the link below. Any other advice?

Thank you in advance,
M

    The CSV has the titles in a separate column (or at least it should have if Excel is behaving properly -- you may need to import it into Excel rather than opening it with Excel) and you can then just select the title column and copy that -- I'm not clear if that isn't working for you or if you consider that too many steps. It's definitely the easiest solution that doesn't require modifying javascript.

    That worked. Now my issue is that I only want to export/important one Zotero folder with 100 articles at a time, and I want to maintain the order of those articles. When I did the export/import with the CSV, it copied all of the articles in my entire library and reordered them. Any advice?

    You can just right-click on any collection and export but I'm afraid there is no way to keep the order (though of course you _can_ sort by any column in excel so should be able to _replicate_ the order there)
