Thank you. I'll provide comments on the MODS export as I find issues and problems.
-
See: https://status.box.com/ The Box service claims that the problem has been resolved. Box acknowledges that this was an issue on their end and disrupted far more than Zotero Wevdav.

You will need to say more about your computer system and the websites that present this problem. Are you using the Zotero import metadata button? Are you importing from a file? I have had no problem importing those characters from publisher sites …

There similar complaints about Word problems with other reference management software. The newest version(s) of Word broke the connections that worked well in the past. Making a change is not likely to solve the problem. Clearly, this is a high prio…

Is it not possible to do an ISSN lookup to capture the abbreviations?
-
If Zotero's abbreviation includes a city or date in parens, it is _probably_ correct. However, to be absolutely certain, you may want to confirm that the article is from the correct journal. These abbreviations are rare and the few minutes needed to…

@LoborA is correct. When there are 2 or more journals with the same name (such as when a journal ends publication and another publisher uses the same name to start a new publication with that name), The world-wide indexing standards require that the…
-
Although everything @adamsmith said is true and useful, I have one more thing to add: If you must submit your final document as a docx format file but it will _NOT_ be edited, returned to you with requests changes, and then you must resubmit; the s…

Please provide the title of the PubMed record or better, the PubMed ID number of the record that you cannot download. In general I've had no problems today with PubMed. That said, beginning January 12th PubMed has had a known intermittent problem w…

I know 2 faculty members who still insist on APA 4! Material not covered by APA 4th? Then not acceptable as a reference.
-
There are bibliometric studies of what is required to obtain a comprehensive listing of all items that cite a particular item. If you use only Google Scholar you will miss items that are included in Web of Science (Web of Knowledge) but GS will inc…

Dan- Does it matter if Zotero is open or closed during the copying?
-
I don't have the time right now but I'll try to develop a series of questions that should help to identify the problems with your Zotero files. I cannot get to this until the weekend at the earliest. The fact that you can see files in your Zotero di…
-
There are some very curious problems with your computer file system. I assume that you used Mendeley at some time in the past but it shouldn't be the current default handler of your Zotero sql files. I recommend that you do absolutely nothing until…
-
Unrelated to your custom fields idea-- I've seen articles reporting the results of studies of the nature of graduate course materials. The way these are listed in the reference list suggests that they should be stored in Zotero as a report type. Th…
-
For the record: while Zotero has worked through most of the issues with the new Word; the sudden appearance of the new Mac Word version continues to create havoc for users of EndNote, Mandeley, and Papers. edit: There is a calm atmosphere on this …
-
This has little to do with Zotero and everything to do with Google Scholar's rules for how much it allows a computer to make requests in a given time interval. Google Scholar begins to reject requests from users it judges to make heavy demands on …
-
Although this comment isn't exactly what you insist that you need I am posting a recommendation that will actually help you with your immediate problem here _and_ will greatly assist you with other computer-related issues. Please take a step back. …
-
Here are 2 publishers that precede page numbers or article locators with an alphabetical character: https://journal.cpha.ca/index.php/cjph/issue/view/333 http://journals.plos.org/plosone/?section=recent I'll add more to the list if I'm told this …
-
@bwiernik ...but I don't know of any journal that uses non-numeric article numbers... Actually, quite a few publishers add an "e" at the front of the article number (some use an upper case "E"). Other publishers use other characters. If it is reall…

@skaertus The slowness issue has mostly been addressed in the _very stable_ beta version of Zotero. (I've been using beta versions for a year or more and continue to be without major problems related to newness.) I'll eventually move from the beta …
-
@bwiernik You said: Sorry, I guess it just says “Message” now. In the upper right corner of the forum user profile screen. I think I recall this option in the distant past but currently I can't find a "Message" button or link on your profile screen…
-
To be clear. Zotero (the computer program) is free to everyone. Also free is a limited amount of storage for attachments such as pdf documents -- larger storage for attachments is available at a reasonable cost. Back-up storage of your Zotero data i…

@bwiernik Send message button? I can't find it.

I have done careful testing of this on a Mac with Firefox. For most but not all publisher and database sites when downloading a single item the save is complete as soon as the notification window is populated. I've had some problems with Open Journa…
-
Unless you must use a very-small-screen monitor, setting Zotero up with the program open in stacked mode and your browser open in a way that allows you to quickly go between the Zotero and browser windows works well for me on a Mac. I've learned to …
-
To echo what @adamsmith said-- importsfrom different databases should go into different collections. This makes it much easier to do repetitive edits because all like records are in one place. For example, PubMed uses 3-character language abbreviat…
-
@adamsmith Sorry. You replied before I Was able to make the correction to ASCE. 10.1061/(ASCE)PS.1949-1204.0000281 10.1061/(ASCE)CF.1943-5509.0000888 10.1061/(ASCE)IS.1943-555X.0000326

The same problem is happeneng again with IEEE ASCE journals. Until this gets worked out; names can be made right by clicking the single-name/two-name toggle and then using the right click menu to switch name order. (Additional editing may be re…

I am frustrated (and somewhat depressed) to report that the name authority situation not only has not improved but is deteriorating. This is completely out of the control of Zotero. ORCID could have been a wonderful tool for name disambiguation but…
