Here is a movie of the disappearing abstract text problem. Standard view or stacked view. 7.0.0-beta.58+2665090aa I copy text to the abstract field, immediately click to open/edit a different record, click back to the record in which I pasted the t…

@migugg "close to this" might be right. When EndNote was new and only a Mac program by Niles, this was sort-of possible but it handled conditional punctuation very badly when bibliographic elements were missing or themselves contained punctuation .…

@salvodif If you are saying "it's very easy" and that adamsmith is complaining, it is possible that you are not clearly stating your request. Provide a very specific step-by-step example , in words, what you want to see on the screen and how the sc…

For example: I import a record from PubMed. It doesn't have an abstract (or has an incomplete abstract) [I visit the publisher site to view the article there] I edit the imported Zotero record by adding text from the publisher's site to the abstra…

Personal example from a user since early 2007. Since the very beginning, I had been copying the DOI and pasting it into a browser window or double-clicking the title from the stacked-view list to go to the journal article at a publisher's website (w…

@adamsmith (This is a question not a criticism.) What about the case when most of the citations are to sources in a langu other than English? My users are mostly from small government agencies and NGOs that cannot afford the costs of subscriptions t…

No one said that. Seek help at: https://juris-m.github.io/# Juris-M is a different project and definitive help is not available here.

Juris-M is based on an earlier version of Zotero. The Zotero development team, if involved at all in Juris-M development, seems to only involved in technical assistance to allow continued syncing to the Zotero site. The lead developer of multi-lin…

It might be that someone could help you if you provide specific examples. If you Google the book, you can usually get a book's ISBN (and ISBNs for several editions). Entering the ISBN into Zotero's Magic Wand field is likely to capture the metadata…

Are the hymn lyrics published in a hymnal or other book? Maybe use Book Section to enter the composer and lyricist you could also include the compilation editor. I don't know offhand the Chicago style guidance for labeling composer and lyricist. You…

If you try LibreOffice you will be amazed and quite pleased. We are a Mac shop and LO is a perfect replacement -- especially because it works so well with Zotero.

The built-in notes capabilities of Zotero 7 are quite impressive. If you aren't totally dependent on plugins like Zutillo that aren't Z7 compatible; I personally recommend going to Zotero 7. I've been using 7 for months and find it as or more stable…

Exactly how to do this depends on the version of Word you are using. The font size of text in your bibliography is controlled within Word by the style setting for that part of your document. (Not by Zotero.) If you need guidance look to Word help f…

2010 version is quite old. Zotero works quite well with the _free_ LibreOffice writer program. You can import your MS Word documents but will almost certainly need to re-do your Zotero citations. My workplace actually prefers LibreOffice (but we u…

To further pile-on negatives about WorldCat: It is a "union catalog" that is the (not-very-merged) contents of tens of thousands of individual library catalogs. The quality of the data entry to each of these individual library catalogs varies from n…

You are correct, this was a LibreOffice bug that has (finally) been fixed. Ask your tech folks up update LibreOffice.

Writing a doctoral thesis is among the most stressful events in one's life. Take a breath and provide more specific details about your problem. I have used reference management software since the early 1980s (even before MS DOS and Windows existed)…

@aborel I am interested in what you are trying to achieve but I still don't think I grasp what it is. I have been working as an indexer of journal articles for more than 30 years and as an indexer of music scores for 20 years before that. My doctora…

The issue is with the citation styles as much as with Zotero. What citation style are you using (APA, Chicago, MLA, etc.)? Does the style specify a format for referencing a live performance? Scripts and reviews can be easily handled. The Extra- ty…

Please wait for the advice of others before taking any action. I don't want my suggestions to be taken as recommendations. You don't want to make an unfortunate situation worse than it currently is.

There are automated backups to your Zotero library. How you use them will be a compromise. This depends upon how many items you have added to your library after you began making changes to your tags; how long it has been since the changes (consideri…

My only intended point is that automation of duplicate detection is not simple. Publishers don't always behave as expected.

Ideally, DOIs are unique identifiers. However, (especially with ahead-of-print articles), not always. Here are 4 of a recent 20 examples. There is little that Zotero can do about this. (Okay, the F1000 example may not be the best.) 10.1177/0003134…

Are you viewing the problem PDF within Zotero or with other software? Where did you download the PDF? Is this a PDF that you created? Is this a problem with all PDFs or only one (or a few)? What Zotero version? What operating system - Mac / Windows …

It has been said here and extensively discussed on other threads in this forum that there are plans to provide significant improvements to the Zotero web presence. No one has questioned that you and other people with security concerns may not be abl…

@dstillman Now, I guess that I'm the one being pedantic. You said, "THE (Zotero) desktop app..." and @ProudChamp rephrased what you said--misquoting you. S/he said that several named PWAs have near feature parity with the Zotero desktop and I (perha…

You are being pedantic about the article "a" vs. "the". The Zotero desktop application currently is more powerful than the current web option. The current Zotero desktop application is much more powerful and flexible than the web versions of each…
