  • I recommend saving your document as a pdf and sharing that. You could save your current Word file with Zotero codes intact as manuscript-working-123.doc and save another copy as manuscript-2proof.doc; strip the Zotero codes from the 2proof version a…
  • Item Type: Software Title: Stata/SE ... Version: 15.1 Date: 2017 (I think that is the release date) System: (here I insert my OS but in the references I've seen the user OS is not always included although I think that it should be included.) Place…
  • Although this is a very old thread and APA has a new version, Zotero will insert the proper form of an author list for the first and for subsequent citations according to this new new APA version. If this doesn't seem to be happening make sure tha…
  • I'm trying to help you to quickly achieve the outcome you desire. Although with the example you provided in your original post PubMed has the author abstract and not the editorial summary, in my own considerable experience the opposite is often the …
  • PubMed does not necessarily have the author abstract -- especially for older articles. The metadata that PubMed gets from the publisher will have the same summary version that Zotero imports. You might be able to double-click on the article line i…
  • PubMed can provide at least two flavors of "tags". 1) The author-supplied keywords are always in the record if the publisher includes them in the metadata. 2) Journals indexed in Medline will also eventually receive indexer-assigned MeSH terms for t…
  • Please excuse my ignorance / naïveté: 1) Do the changes take place locally only after syncing to API changes online? 2) Does the script allow IF volume field is empty then fill the volume field with "ePub" without the quotes? 3) Does the script h…
  • This "editorial summary" is what Nature provides in the webpage embedded metadata and in the RIS citation export for this older article. Although the author abstract is on the webpage (and, thus, theoretically available to a redesigned Zotero trans…
  • Now that your immediate problem has been resolved, are you running Word as administrator? What operating system? I am successfully running Zotero and Libre Office on a Mac _not_ in the administrator account.
  • You cannot delete your post but you can edit its title. I suggest that you change the word "Help" to "Solved". That way others with a similar problem can learn from your success.
  • Please provide the exact words of the error message.
  • See: https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags "Tags (often called “keywords” in other contexts) allow for detailed characterization of an item. You can tag items based on their topics, methods, status, ratings, or even based on your own …
  • This can be very, very frustrating but you will eventually get things to work. Be sure that all traces of Java are removed from your system and from LO. This may take a couple of Mac system restarts after closing LO. Be sure to _verify_ that you hav…
  • See the "sticky" announcement at the head of the forum list; https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/83833/macos-11-big-sur-compatibility#latest
  • Edit your Zotero records to make every item by the same author have exactly the same name in each record, else Zotero cannot properly disambiguate the authors. In other words, all "John Neilson", "JD Neilson", or "J. Neilson" names should be edited…
  • @whuber @MWUCL I've been a Zotero user for more than 12 years and there has never been a policy of hopeware. Given this history, there is no basis for anxiety or disappointment other than a natural impatience. Zotero internally examines the feasibil…
  • There is a method for requesting new styles or for requesting help finding existing styles. See: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles When requesting styles, please provide formatted references using the author…
  • Zotero offers this style as an option and it is easy to obtain. See installing styles at: https://www.zotero.org/support/styles
  • I don't disagree with Brandon (above) that the distinction may be useful but not all abstracts should be assigned second class status. Does Extra Genre : abstract work in most styles? "...not peer-reviewed manuscripts" isn't necessarily correct. Wh…
  • Please rephrase your statement as a question. Are you requesting some new Zotero function(s) or something else? Bibliographically these are discrete publications and are likely to differ in content (and certainly the metadata will differ). I know o…
  • What reference type are you using in Zotero? Are you citing an item from a published proceeding or a presentation? Zotero's "conference paper" seems to be for an item in a published proceedings book and the place is the place of publication. I may b…
  • I'm going to defend my question about journal names in that the OP raised the issue of sentence case vs title case for article titles. I asked if there might be a similar recommendation for journal titles. There is a right-click quick conversion too…
  • I've a question about journal names. Should they be sentence case or title case in Zotero? Do styles make changes to the casing of journal names (suggesting that they be edited to sentence case in Zotero). I note that Zotero offers case conversion f…
  • This is an issue that drives OCD-prone indexers (me) more than a little nuts. Unlike authors of fiction who commonly write under a pen-name, I think most scholarly authors want full credit for their body of work. Responsibility for author name pre…
  • I was able to find the standards for the previous versions of APA and Chicago. Chicago: “Authors’ names are normally given as they appear on the title pages of their books or above their articles. Certain adjustments, however, should be made to ass…
  • I don't have style guides handy right now and will not for the rest of the day. Someone else here might be able to cite chapter and verse. Both APA and Chicago in previous revisions stated specifically that the most complete name form should be used…
  • The names of each author of multiple works should be edited so that every record has exactly the same name and the full name (lastname, firstname middlename) whenever possible. This way correct name disambiguation can be done by Zotero. [M. Jones, M…
  • After many requests and much input from users, my online (not Zotero) database has assigned each of the various rXiv databases as a "journal" with volume = publication year and page=the article number. This allows for the DOI. A couple of these pre-…
  • @bwiernik Thank you for the insight. I "knew" it was something like that but I (who has made a career out of trying to facilitate information-seeking) couldn't find where to look. I now see that each of the authors have published with the abbrevia…
