If you don't have excellent scripting skills this may be a very time-consuming trial and error process. Even then, your import may be error-prone. Any errors you made hand entering your material into Excel will be transferred to your Zotero database…

The current tag color options were chosen after lengthy discussion and effort so that the "color" differences may be discerned by people who experience color blindness.

NLM PubMed uses a convention to place translated and transliterated English language titles within square brackets. I had success using a square bracket test to assign English-titles vs vernacular-titles to the proper database field when parsing a P…

@Honey_Bee_FR Although there are aspects of GitHub that may be unfamiliar (complicated and confusing), the Requesting Styles link goes to very simple easily followed instructions.

Someone may have a better answer because I've not done this in many years. I've used the Zotero "software" type. I was using Vancouver style and I remember that I needed to do a bit of editing of the bibliography items (after removing the Zotero fie…

@brehmf "... supposed to hold the abbreviated first name ..." There is no reason to abbreviate the authors' first names into initials. Indeed, it is best to have the authors' full first names. If you have several records with the same author but so…

Please allow me to clarify my previous comment. The old/current PubMed also provides full author names when the publisher provides full names to the database. The same is true with the new PubMed system. There are still many journals that only provi…

Some PubMed record metadata only contains author initials even though the publisher website import using the Zotero import button will provide the full name(s). Probably not relevant but I'm curious: Does Zotero work equally well with the new PubMe…

I haven't used Chicago style in 25+ years. That said, I would cite the author(s) of the article and not include the author of Meditations among the authors cited. I would include the name of the author of Meditations in the body of the text of my ma…

I'm not a Zotero expert only a long time user. I cannot solve your problem but I can assure you that what you are experiencing is not normal. The Zotero icons in the toolbar (your image shows) are indeed more pixelated than the other LibreOffice i…

I suspect that your problem might be a data entry issue. Is the article a review of the work titled "Meditations"? Is the article a review of a review? If the article is "Cogito ..." then it seems that the author of the article with that title shoul…

I was able to import three items from the landing page: Venus: A phase equilibria Mineralogy and geochem Precise radiometric age The only metadata item missing is the language field. My personal preference is to add the letter "e" before the arti…

@fmuro Yes! I work with someone who uses Mendeley solely for that reason and it seems to me that the "suggestions" are prioritized if the pubs are in Elsevier journals. It is also clear that little real effort is made to edit the suggestions to be c…

@adamsmith What are your thoughts on my idea of an easy way to accurately preface an article ID number with a character through a right-click option? I have no concept of the difficulty of implementing this in Zotero.
-
@adamsmith I suspect that eventually, if not sooner, the 1-n page range will be replaced with a number of pages metadata item much like with books and technical reports. I know that if I'm collecting potential sources for a review, I'm likely to wan…

Many publishers that use an article number instead of a journal page range nonetheless include 1-n as a page range with the article metadata. The article webpage clearly includes an article number but it isn't in the metadata (DOI, header tags, or R…

You should edit your Zotero records so that each author's name is exactly the same. In your example, E. Demerouti should be edited to Evangelina Demerouti. Of course, If E. Demerouti is not the same person as Evangelina but might be Edward Demerouti…

Curious. This has happened to me at least twice since I installed Catalina. I don't have Word installed. This dialog appeared when I selected a group of Zotero records to export in MODS format. I get the expected save dialog box and immediately (si…

Cumbersome? When I first prepared an academic paper (late 1960s) I had to go to a library and use _printed_ index books to find journal articles. There were annual compilations but these were published many months after the turn of the year. For mo…

Beyond your diacritics question, fur/für shouldn't be included in the abbreviation. I suspect that is what you meant by "surplus". Rarely, if ever, are prepositions included in journal title abbreviations -- Medline, LTWA, ISO, or otherwise.

Another example of a publisher that has metadata with the DOI in an unusual presentation: 10.5038/1911-9933.13.3.1673 Thanks
-
I would index your example as a _report_ because it fits with similar things from UN agencies. However, several other UNHCR report series publications have ISSNs so it could be argued that this is from a journal or a magazine if the item you cited i…

2) Are you saying that "under the hood" a language field label is morphed into the 2 character ISO codes so that Zotero can correctly apply styles that have language-specific differences by reference item? If so the behind-the-scenes business is rea…

Or worse, Incorrect metadata that is correct for a different article with a similar title. This happens too frequently to a colleague who uses Mendeley because of its social features. I suspect that part of the problem with Mendeley is that it crowd…

I don't know if this is even possible but it is a function I'd like. I recognize this isn't a democracy for features but as I've not noticed this request before I thought I'd echo the request.

I find that a similar problem exists with Oxford University Press journals. Only about 150 characters of the abstract are imported. Zotero seems to be capturing the abstract from the webpage header. I contacted the A&I folks at OUP and they repl…

What I do is to save the image(s) to a file on Dropbox (or some similar service) and paste the link within my note. It is a work-around but I find it efficient. I should add that I haven't tried to click-follow the links from within Zotero.

@Zacharias030 asked: "How can I systematically fix these errors in my library?" Are the Zotero record publication dates errors? @adamsmith is certainly correct about misleading dates. An item appears on arxiv with a date; then it is replaced wit…
