My doi keep disappearing :-(

HeatherDawn
Hi, I see all of my citings in there that I imported. They all had doi on them from Anystyle. Recently Zotero imports them and separates the doi from the citing info.

The problem is when I copy them and put them in my paper all doi are in a list at the end.
Please help!
Thanks so much

    Not sure what you mean here. Can you take some screenshots that show what you're describing, upload them somewhere (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.), and provide a link here?

    What I am trying to say is that when I put the citings in Zotero I put them in with the doi. But when I copy and then paste them into my paper the doi are not with the individual citing. They are in a list at the end. Does that explain it better?

    ok try this. it shows what it looks like in Zotero

    That's not a public link.

    What citation style are you using? You wouldn't have DOIs in your in-text citations — they'd be in the bibliography.
  • HeatherDawn
    ok yes, bibliography. using APA

    I'm still not sure what you mean. What are the items without titles? We need to see screenshots that actually show everything you're describing.

    did you try the link? That is what I am talking about-the items without titles. That is what I get when I put them into Zotero.

    You have to show us what those items actually are — i.e., what appears in the item pane when you click on them — for us to help you.

    then below that are the citings I put in. When I copy and paste the bibliography into my paper they separate and there is a list of dio at the end of my paper. I cannot take a screenshot of the entire thing-it is a long long list and the names of my files are confidential.

    Sorry, I just don't know what you're describing here.

    All I'm asking for is you to click on one of the empty items and show us what's in the item pane.
    When I copy and paste the bibliography into my paper they separate and there is a list of dio at the end of my paper.
    I just don't know what you mean by this. Copy how? How are you generating a bibliography? Separate how? We just can't help without some screenshots or a much more detailed description with specific examples, as we describe in Steps to Reproduce.

    If there's something you can't share publicly, you can email it to us at support@zotero.org with a link to this thread, but you'll get faster help if you post the screenshots here.

    @HeatherDawn: But to be clear here, if you have empty items in your library, something obviously went wrong with the AnyStyle parsing, and nothing else is relevant — if there's bad data and empty items in your library and you generate a bibliography from those, you're not going to somehow have a correct bibliography.

    So if all you're talking about is not getting correct items imported from AnyStyle, you don't need to talk about generating a bibliography at all — it's just not relevant and going to be totally confusing.

    In any case, I still don't understand what you're trying to show in the screenshot above.

    Again: this suggest items don't get imported correctly from anystyle, but we need to see the actual item information (on the right) to say more
