I strongly recommend making a copy, removing the Zotero codes from the copy, and sending them the copy. Keep your original version with Zotero intact. There are so many things a proofreader can do that can damage some or all of your Zotero citatio…

Please help us help you by providing details of the problems you are having. You first said that "you must place the cursor in a zotero citation to edit it..." Are you trying to edit a citation that you already inserted? Are you trying to insert a n…

See: https://www.zotero.org/support/styles You will need to state the journal name or the institution . (How do you know what style you want without knowing the journal name of the institution that requires a specific style?) Provide a URL to the …

What operating system? Linux, Mac, Windows? Unless your computer is managed by an institution such as a university or your company, you should be able to one-time set the directory to be writable. Do you use some special security software that might…

If the Word or LibreOffice style for the bibliography is not correct (is the same as the style for the body of your manuscript) you can change the bibliography style in your word processor. You, however, shouldn't need to do this. Did you, or someon…

What you are calling "folders" are not directories but are more akin to music playlists. In Zotero these folders are called collections. That is, a single item can be in multiple collections. When an item from one collection is merged with an item f…

Are you asking if you can subscribe to the library and have new items automatically added to your own library? It is a public group. Thus, you can click to add it to your collection of groups. Even with iPad app you can select any item from ebrese…

Please provide details. Do you get a Zotero icon? Does Zotero appear among your other applications? Even if you are not comfortable with computers someone here can probably help. Where did you download the Zotero application? From Zotero.org? What…

This will not help with your current situation but please consider buying an external drive for Mac TimeMachine backups. For $100 US you can buy a sufficiently large drive so that you will never need to worry about losses like you experienced. Time …

Are you using plug-ins? This is not a common problem when only using Zotero without plug-ins. Some plug-ins don't yet play well with Zotero 7.
-
Do you have a specific style requirement? A popular numeric style is Vancouver. There are several Vancouver styles with small differences among them. Is your question more basic? https://www.zotero.org/support/creating_bibliographies Word proces…

What add-on? RSS capabilities are built-in to the basic Zotero program. edit: What improvements do you suggest?

Please add further details to your request. The nature of your problem / request is not clear. Do you believe that there are specific issues with the JAMA Oncology style? Something else?

I'm in my mid-70s and don't understand how viewing Zotero 1) online within a browser tab or 2) within an application window can be confused. There are vivid differences in the UI in addition to the different window appearances. I do get that here i…

If you use the Zotero word processor integration your bibliography will be created automatically with only the cited items in your document. https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_integration The typical user will have many more items in th…

What citation style are you using? When you see citations to articles from that journal, how do they appear in the reference list? It is common for contemporary journals to have double (or even triple) issues. This is expressed by issue numbers (2…
-
A database and the read/write software that allows two or more users to edit the same record simultaneously must be designed for that "from the ground up". A database generally "doesn't like" its tables to be opened by different edit-privileged us…

Some styles require the use of shortened titles. Having an editable ShortTitle field will allow you to use this if you must use one of those styles in a future manuscript. If you are requesting that some of the metadata element types may be optiona…

In my personal experience, the beta is stable and ideal. However, I don't use some of the incompatible plug-ins that some users find almost essential. Also, there are several new features that continue to be adjusted towards perfection. To me, Zoter…

Is someone else reviewing your thesis document (and making comments or edits)?

Essentially all support for Juris-M is provided at: https://juris-m.github.io/

What word processor, version? What computer operating system? Do you mean a single small box at the beginning of where you want a line or do you mean that you get a rectangle that is the size/length of what you expect should be a line? This is pro…
-
@adamsmith Yeah, I understand. Sometimes the type icon can be rather subtle. Still, I prefer knowing what type the publisher has classified the item.
-
Please explain why you prefer not knowing the item type. I might genuinely find that perspective useful. I find it valuable to know what publication type the publisher has labeled an item. The distinctions between report, thesis, and book section (…

I know that you are limited by budget and the resources you have but could this be related to the power and memory of your computer? Folks in my shop recently completed 2 VERY large documents: one was 500 pages with about 1100 references and the ot…
-
@vemcgee Consider this: If you have unwanted initials in your in-line citations, it may indicate that you have authors in your Zotero with names with various levels of completeness. J. Brown, J. A. Brown, John Brown, John Allan Brown, should all be …
-
It sounds as though most of your library may consist of journal articles, their abstracts, and your own notes concerning the relevance of the article. If that is the case, you can very quickly populate Zotero by finding each article online and autom…

What computer OS? What version of Zotero? Does this happen if plug-ins are disabled? Does it make a difference if Zotero is first opened on one screen or the other?
-
In your case the extraordinary value of Zotero will come when you are writing the manuscripts of your chapters. Zotero makes entering precisely formatted reference citations a trivial one-click task. The same ease of creating a bibliography. If you …
