MeSH terms are not final / complete until several weeks after a record is added to Medline. Some medical publishers (JAMA for example) are allowed to provide preliminary MeSH terms directly to the database but these may change when the indexing proc…

@aliakhavan89 Although this has been resolved in many other applications many years ago... I'd love to know your examples of software that does this automatically. Especially any software that can handle J. G. March, JG March, J March, Janice Gis…

I apologize for not being more clear. I was writing about ZotFile not caring about highlight color. If someone doesn't ninja me, I'll try to comment soon on several pdf annotation programs that work with Zotfile.
-
The highlight color is irrelevant.

The A and B problem: Are you working with the Zotero Groups function? If so there could be a duplicate record in a group _and_ in your main library. Citing from your library and a group library will trigger the A,B disambiguation. This can also happ…

What you are requesting would be better than splendid but it is profoundly complex to implement -- especially with multilingual synonyms, hierarchical taxonomies, etc. For further information and enlightenment Google these concepts Bibliographic d…

Both NLM and Med Sci Sport Exerc use a _numbered_ style. Items in the bibliography appear in the order cited. If you want a style that alphabetizes the bibliography by author name you will need to use a different style. You will need to better de…

If the APA style version isn't listed on the course syllabus you should tactfully try to find out the professor's preferred version. There is at least one professor at my university who demands that students use an earlier version and takes points o…

What citation style are you using? Is the comment statement in a note or did you enter it in the Extra field?
-
Please verify that every time the name J. J. Arnett , J. Arnett, Jeff Arnett (or that of any other author) appears in your Zotero database that her/his name is entered exactly the same for each publication. Ideally you should edit the name so that…

@CainPY asked is there a limit... In 2008 I used Zotero to write my doctoral thesis. It contains more than 400 different cited items. At the time Zotero was quite cooperative even though I was using Vancouver style, cited several of the sources mul…

See these helpful guides: https://www.zotero.org/support/quick_start_guide https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library If you still have trouble importing from your library's catalog please consider asking a librarian for help.

Getting LO and Zotero to work together sometimes seems to require luck or magic. LO and Zotero will work together as friends but getting this working when, at first it doesn't work, can take some patience and trial and error effort until you get it …

I, too, tried to look at your page headers because I am always trying to improve the metadata available from my online index (apart from Zotero). I echo adamsmith's comment about passwords. Each time I tried to view a page or to view the source code…
-
When I recognize missing metadata fields I add it by hand. That is about the only thing that can be done. Often the hand-entry requires a moment of thought and decision making before the proper information can be entered. What Zotero could help wi…

Allow me to state the lesson: Always only share a copy of your document. Anyone can innocently remove all of your Zotero references from the document.
-
@adamsmith An open tag selector has little impact even on our older under-powered MacBooks and hasn't for several beta updates.
-
What you are experiencing is not usual and possibly unique to your machine. There are many Mac users who do not have this problem. A beachball hang of several seconds when taking any action is so annoying that this forum would be filled with comment…
-
Don't be so certain about the JRE. You need the proper version (up-to-date) and it must be associated with your LO. That the JRE was once connected to LO doesn't mean that the two were not somehow disconnected. Go through the steps to verify that LO…

https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems At least please say what operating system and the version, what browser and the version.

Years ago I had someone ask me if there was a way to add columns for abstract yes/no and number of notes.
-
I didn't reply because I don't quite know the etiquette for adding "thank you" to an answered thread. Is the appreciation shown to the answer-giver enough to outweigh an additional post to a completed thread? Sebastian, please know that your wisdo…

The primary use seems to be as a tool to identify and possibly edit author names that have been added to a Zotero library in multiple ways. See my recent comment in the other currennt ORCID thread for why this use is not likely to be sucessful. htt…
-
I know of someone who actively maintains 8 ORCID registrations. Each registration is associated with a slightly different variation of her name (given names, given name initials, original family name [alone], original family name with hyphenated mar…

Even in the unlikely event that the current Zotero project funds go away, the program is free and open access. If Zotero "disappears" the current Zotero program will survive indefinitely. If operating systems radically change and the current Zotero…

What you see as folders are not akin to file system directories but more like (iTunes) music play lists. Zotero records' metadata is/are located on your computer and when you sync also stored on the Zotero "server" (actually, AWS cloud, I think). At…

See: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/default_translators Abstract and short title aren't a standard part of COinS. My website doesn't export article abstracts.
-
That is curious. The URL for me leads to a webpage where I can link to a pdf. Thanks

Can you export your RefWorks library in RIS format? If so, export your library in that format and import it into Zotero. If you have organized your REfWorks library into folders that organization structure will not transfer into Zotero but all of yo…

With my apologies for asking a question that doesn't have wide application but ... Moved to a new thread (see request for this below).
