I apologize for not writing back in a timely way. I ended my experiments at the point where it became clear that 1) handling stopwords and editing the source document (to eliminate headers/footers, etc.) required more preparation time than I was wil…

There are several ways to accomplish this depending on your web-programming experience, the scope of your project, and if you are willing to pay someone to do web development work for you. The scope of my project was quite large and my own knowledge…

while this suggestion shouldn't discourage other replies to your request; I recommend that you look at Juris-M, a friendly branch (fork? Extension?) of Zotero designed for citing legal materials in legal documents and with greatly expanded multi-lin…

I was thinking of RT but, to me, the Surface Pro is closer to a notebook than to an iPad. I'm thinking not only of the tablet's processor or even RAM but primarily storage. I have an Asus thick tablet. It runs Windows 10. It has a combo-drive. It we…

To echo Adamas there isn't yet a good way to use Zotero on an iPad. Zotero _can_ partially work on the iPad platform but only in concert with the Zotero client on a notebook or desktop machine. I have had moderate success using GoToMyPC from my iPad…

STOP! Don't do anything else to any Zotero files! (Apology for the shout.) OS X 10.7 (Lion) is many years old. It was released in 2011. The current version is OS X 10.12. In a few months, 10.13 will be released. Someone else on this forum will be a…

Here is an article title that can be used to demonstrate the GS issue: The gender suicide gap and differential misclassification: a research autobiography - Rockett IRH. International review of modern sociology 2017; 43(1): 5-32.

FWIW, the last 10 days or so I've had intermittent problems with GS and BibTeX and it has nothing to do with Zotero because Zotero has never been installed on one of the computers that has the problem. Steps to reproduce: Search regular Google fo…

Easy to envision. Difficult to accomplish. I did a quick search but couldn't find the post that explained why this isn't easy and already done. (I'd love to have this feature.)

This has been long recognized in Word forums with complaints coming from users of numerous software. It seems that this shouldn't be too difficult to fix. Even Microsoft-inserted fields are counted. I added that last comment lest someone suggest tha…

PubMed never truncates the author list. A PubMed author list can contain more than 100 authors. If you are getting et al then 1) this is a very new (seconds old) publisher-made addition to the database and it was incorrectly added exactly that way …

A workaround: Open a collection. Select all (ctl/cmd A). Right click: Generate report. edit: I had not tried "generate report from collection" because I usually want to exclude de-selected items from the report. Thus, what I recommended above. In …

I request this for MODS as well. Thanks.

"I don't think there is any information that is required if you can't find it...". While I agree that there will be incomplete information in some Zotero records until the complete metadata becomes available; I believe that one should _never_ cite a…

Thank you. I should have realized that. You have been very helpful.

It throws an error: An error occurred while saving this item. See Troubleshooting Translator Issues for more information. This was working before the update from b 202 to b 204. I'm wondering if something may have changed with the proxy settings. …

Please allow me to echo @adamsmith. All serious work needs, at least, individual-level incremental backup. Version control is even better. Sooner or later something is going to go awry and the relatively minor cost of a local external backup disk is…

What OS? Z-standalone or the FF-plugin? 4.x or 5-beta? FWIW I use notes extensively and do much cutting and pasting and moving of text. I cannot reproduce this with Z5-beta standalone on a Mac and Cmd-Z always works for me. I have the freedom to m…

Gentle warning. There is a problem with Google Scholar citations counts. Single citations may be double, triple, (or more) counted. Also, while I would expect GS to be more comprehensive than, say, Web of Science; the WoS listings for an article oft…

Yes. Your description is now quite clear. I don't know of software that does fills your need but (as I can see its usefulness) such software might exist.

@dstillman and his team have managed to, in concert with the the developers of CSL, put together landmark software. I believe Zotero 5 to be similar in quality to the impact of VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3; of CP/M (pre DOS) programs such as the early Wo…

The Zotero timeline function as well as that of other timeline software allows a user to place events (such as publication dates of items in a list or library) on a graphic representation of the order of those events. You seem to want something el…

Firefox has been completely (internally) redesigned and many plugins will no longer work with the next FF update. Also, it is important to note that it is possible to use Firefox with Zotero standalone -- even after the new Firefox changes. I fin…

Please state the purpose of your export/import. If you want to move your Zotero to another computer you can sync.

Zotero itself and this support forum are so great that I sometimes have a difficult time convincing people to install it. They tend to suspect that I'm exaggerating. I've actually had people later return and shake my hand or hug me for forcefully te…

Here is something else to consider. I've had, over the years, complaints concerning alphabetical placement of not only author names (that have accented characters) but also titles when the initial word is an article (or the like). Our work in this i…

While waiting for an admin to check your account, consider this. If you have a large library and many attachments the first sync on a new machine can require a l-o-n-g time to complete. It can take well more than an hour or two. Syncing is better wi…

Are you working with a word processor document -- a manuscript with added citations -- and you need to add a bibliography? If you just want to create a bibliography (not a list of references cited in a manuscript), see: https://www.zotero.org/supp…
