rant For example, a single journal title can have several OCLC accession numbers (print, electronic, microfilm editions) that is reasonable and proper. Alas, each of these formats often has several near duplicates each with its own catalog number e…

Implied in my previous post but not stated-- Always use full names for authors in the Zotero creator fields. That means examining the actual pdf or printed copy of the item to see the authors' names. One will often make mistakes of omission when re…

In an ideal world, authors do tend to use the same name form, however often publishers truncate names. I have reviewed mauscripts for colleagues that I know were submitted to Elsevier journals with full names only to see the published version with o…

Actually, I was expressing my frustration with the API results as well as the _paid_ WorldCat.
-
The appearance of an item in multiple collections doesn't necessarily mean that there is more than one record of the items. A single library item record can be placed in multiple collections.
-
Please do look into this. More and more, I've found that WorldCat has multiple records for any given ISBN. (This is with a query outside of the Zotero look-up.) A majority of the OCLC records have duplicates that have errors or omissions. I can unde…

A MacBook Pro HD at 95% is really asking for trouble. OSX likes lots of free drive space to work properly. Surely there are files and programs you do not need to use regularly. Apple strongly recommends having at least 10% to 15% (ideally more) of t…

Yes! I forgot about the non-breaking hyphen. On a distantly related topic, that and the non-breaking space can get really garbled by PubMed xml export.
-
I haven't thought about character sets for years but I wonder if this could be UTF-8 vs. Windows-1252 or is that not relevant here?
-
The reason for the questions is that there is no single hyphen/dash- appearing mark but are several "flavors" or types of dash and of different lengths. Some fonts will not display some of the dash types and instead will insert a place-holding chara…

One more thing, search for the author name, Luckhurst or search journal title 'politics & policy'. (I remember reading that editorial and found it in my library.) You might also try a title search for: "Introduction to the special issue"
-
You said that you examined your local and server trash. Please try emptying both -- including that of any groups.
-
I am just guessing with this but it won't do any harm. Check your database integrity: https://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/advanced

Try searching for one word, democratization.
-
Should I try a total reset, 'Restore to Zotero server'? NO! Don't do that unless specifically instructed to do so.
-
How many records/documents in your database? Thousands? if so then you might want to look into the several engines that are available to drive open access journals. The server software is open access. For example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op…

It is somewhat difficult to understand your question. There are people on this forum who understand many languages. You can try asking using your own language. I don't understand your vision how Zotero will help you because I do not know your goal. …

Thanks to both of you. I didn't understand until now how to get the right-click menu to give me the options when I use Firefox.
-
The entire reference list would be an inconvenience but tolerable. This is a situation where: 1) each item is downloaded many, many times; and 2) I do not get to pick from a list of items with tick-boxes but upon clicking a page icon I am deluged w…
-
Unless you are sharing your Zotero account with a colleague or student, I can only think of one way for this to happen. When you visit a publisher or database site to import items, did the Zotero import icon resemble a folder instead of a book, page…
-
You posted to the proper place. I was reaching for an explanation of what could be causing your experience.
-
If you will paste one example of one item record from the file you wish to import someone here will be able to give you specific instructions.

All RIS files are text format files but they are a particular type of text file. There are countless other types of text files and several types of bibliographic record file types that are in text format. Please excuse me if I am stating the obvious…
-
RIS files must conform to certain criteria and standards. Are you sure that this is an RIS file? Does each record begin with "TY -" and end with "ER"?
-
Are you a member of Zotero groups?
-
I can confirm that there is a problem saving from Amazon when using Firefox but I can save from Amazon when using the Chrome and Safari browsers.
-
You need to describe your problem with more detail. When you click the sync icon, what happens? Does the green arrow rotate? Do you see a red exclamation mark. If you do see the ! what is the exact error message? Is this the first time you have at…
-
Please provide full examples of how you want in-text and bibliography citations to appear. Again, what citation style are you using?
-
Are you asking about calendar-system/type date comparisons? Will the original date entry trick not work when a range is entered?

I've noticed a quirky behavior with Wiley pages when using an ad blocker. With other publishers' sites, as soon as the Zotero icon changes to the article image everything downloads as expected. Not so with Wiley. If I don't wait a second or two ther…
