Everything that was once wonderful about OpenOffice is now even better with LibreOffice. The original developers moved to LO early-on. Although the very reputable group Apache now owns the OO project (and has for a few years) it remains dormant. Lib…

@longtalker Define what _exactly_ is a duplicate. What about very similar records except that one has info that the other doesn't have? What about records that have _different_ information for the same field but that are otherwise identical? Fully a…

I cannot reproduce your problem. The URL you provided is for a PDF document. I can download the document to my computer and drag the downloaded document to Zotero. Zotero recognizes the title of the document and creates a record but the record must …

My (non-Zotero) project has 2 levels of admin privileges: regular-admin level allows creation of a record and initial editing of the record but not record deletion or posting to the public side of the site. Only "super-administrators" have those pri…

@hugotaolarca Please reply with the version number of Zotero you are using. Also, does your style name say exactly that it is "Vancouver" or does the style have some other name or does it have a name Vancouver-something? @adamsmith I seem to remem…

Even if you havent inserted a bibliography Zotero still needs you you to select a style to be able to format the reference numbers. But you likely did select a style because you are seeing numbers and not an author and a date.

Please tell us more. You wrote "citation to a document" but then wrote "save to Zotero". These are different things. I have no trouble with importing web page metadata but for this to be useful I have to do some editing once I get the info into Zo…

Thanks.

For titles you can right-click on unselected titles and convert them to an approximation of sentence -- only you must edit proper nouns so that the first character is upper case. With author names... many of the translators will automatically fix a…

Know too that some publishers appear to provide an abstract but only provide the first 150-200 characters. Cambridge University Press comes to mind. (In an earlier post I commented on this problem with IOS press ans some Oxford journals.) Even if yo…

The short answer is "No". DOI lookup uses the reference websites that allow you to easily find an article online. I've had to use the DOI import enough times that I've learned to quickly cut-and-paste the abstract from the webpage to Zotero. With th…

I'm not sure of the cost to remove the aspects specific to my own database and website but I'm willing to authorize my developers to do so. SafetyLit.org has everything in your list plus a search-system thesaurus (synonym-ring capabilities and optio…

The great thing about MAS is, as you say, that the site often has abstracts even when the publishers' sites do not. However, beware of using unedited MAS metadata. It is very frequently very wrong. It is very useful for identifying that literature e…

As a further example of the common metadata problems with Compendex, here is an example of something I recalled from a manuscript I reviewed some time ago: Search Compendex for this article title: "Obsolescene of physics literature. Exponential dec…

I have just now tried several other articles and can only get the web-page option in those cases. For example: https://www-engineeringvillage-com.libproxy.sdsu.edu/search/doc/abstract.url?&pageType=quickSearch&usageZone=resultslist&usage…

EI /EV Compendex import to Zotero works for me. I just checked via proxy to my university library.
-
Compendex metadata is frequently (and I suspect intentionally) wrong. Mountweazel-like alterations of true items seem to appear in at least 5% of the records. Almost universally titles and subtitles that were separated by colons in the original are …

As an example of one of the problems I mentioned above, see: DOI 10.1123/japa.2018-0010 Human Kinetics (late January 2019) for this journal article provides the pagination as 1-30 for this ahead-of-print publication. When assigned to an issue the a…

I'm feeling compelled to comment about this with my own experience. This isn't a simple problem. I have 2 such update systems for my web-based (non-Zotero) bibliographic database. One system uses the pmid to requery the PubMed database 12 months af…

You can now do this with a free app and your smartphone. See the recent Zotero Blog entry: https://www.zotero.org/blog/ This is very handy, indeed.

I find that the run-together problem has been frequent when I use Mac Preview but not with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. Another workaround is to copy first to a text editor and then recopy and paste. When I use Adobe Reader I don't encounter this …

See: https://www.zotero.org/support/quick_start_guide Begin by following the installation instructions from the link near the top of the page. edit: You will very rarely need to hand-enter metadata information but should use Zotero's mechanisms fo…

BMJ Group asks for brackets in submitted manuscripts and converts the citations to superscript during the process of making the final conversion to publication form. BMJ Group will return manuscripts with superscripted citation numbers to the author…

This sounds like a Word-styles setting where the reference pages have a rule-line at the top of each page (or at the bottom of each page header). I haven't used a recent version of word so I cannot guve you specific instructions other than this used…

@Kristenmwolf What type of source would you like to cite? Unless your requirement is very obscure, there are ways to adapt the existing types to fit almost any need.
-
@bjohas offers the best practice. Following the links to publishers' sites will provide you with more accurate and complete metadata. Metadata directly from GS often contains an incomplete listing of authors, the order of authors is commonly differe…

Follow the advice of @bwiernik (above) about establishing a GS library. See: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/site_access_limits See also: https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_stuff_into_your_library [to your Zotero library] scroll down to "…

@adamsmith Please understand that I wasn't arguing in favor of the ability to lock records but was reporting my similar experience and my solution. As you say, the escape key works fine when this happens. For some reason, this almost never happens t…
-
@adamsmith There is an issue not covered in the linked documentation. Earlier today WorldCat pages (both the subscription and public versions) were very slow to complete loading. The wait for Zotero to capture the metadata (and for the Zotero icon t…

When I read the OP I thought that the question referred to an ability to lock parts of a record not a file. Several times a day, when I am quickly moving my mouse to place my cursor into the title field to edit, I instead accidentally click in the …
