Tangential comment/question: Should there be a section in the Zotero documentation concerning collaboration with a caution to share for comment only documents with no field codes; or with a filename different from the working copy of the document?

It isn't exactly clear to me what software you were using to write your doctoral thesis. You said that you were using Word but also indicated that you were using Google Docs. If you still have a version of the file that contains some field codes I r…

Remember, you can use the right-click duplicate item function so thay you only need to enter the book information one time.

Yes, Springer's embedded metadata has been superior. However, during this test, not only was the page appearance changed but the header metadata also was of different quality and completeness. The same article page, after a refresh, not only was dis…

SpringerLink seems to be testing several versions of their web display. (Too bad that we cannot opt-out) Yesterday I encountered 3 different display versions when browsing abstracts from a single journal issue. At least one of the versions had no em…

Sebastian, does the APA style not automatically convert a lower case letter after a colon to upper case? I thought that was the final resolution. No need to revisit that thorny discussion.
-
Is that correct? You only need to edit the record one time and do that edit one time in Zotero not in your manuscript. Don't confuse title format for the Zotero record and the format for what Zotero places in your document. You need the Zotero reco…

By selecting Local Object you haven't resolved the conflict (the stars in the title of your first example). This conflict pattern will continue until both the standalone and Firefox versions use the same data directory. Is it even a big deal...? Y…

Instructions for submitting a debug ID can be found by clicking the debug id link in Dan Stillman's post (above).

Not possible to do this in batches. You will need to use upper case for proper nouns. Do convert title case titles to sentence case by the right-click method.
-
Be sure that _all_ of your Zotero records have titles in "sentence case" not "title case" so that Zotero styles can work their magic. Zotero can convert sentence case to title case but not title case to sentence. No reference manager can do that.

What adamsmith said. Here is why Zotero does this. Some publishers do not specifically include the DOI in the article metadata. Good publishers (in my opinion) always include this metadata --invisible to the viewer-- with their articles. The DOI is…

See the following for more information: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/47132/book-sections-have-dois-too/ You don't need to be a programmer. This is quite complicated-sounding but to the end user straightforward. All you need to do is follow…

It probably means that you edited one or more of the citations after you inserted it. The edit was done not by using the Zotero edit citation command but using the word processor. It is best to edit citations via Zotero. Be sure to continue to sav…

The string inside the curly brackets should be placed in the extra field. I hope that you won't be insulted if I point out that the given DOI is only an example. The colon placement before _and_ after the "DOI" is necessary and not a typo. You will …

This is an issue of great interest to me. Often, in the printed version, there is no punctuation between an article title and subtitle. However, some publishers add a punctuation mark between title and subtitle in their metadata. This can be a colon…

Zotero currently has problems interfacing with Firefox-64. I seem to recall that Waterfox is 64 bit. If so, your use of a recompiled version of Firefox takes you a step further from Zotero's design. Do you find that Waterfox has a real performance b…

If you are on PubMed and simply click (not right-click) the Zotero document icon the metadata for the article should automatically flow into the Zotero collection that is open. Only rarely do I need to right-click and select another option from that…

I work with folks who are in rural areas who have very slow, lossy internet connections. They don't have serious issues using the regular Zotero sync system. Perhaps, you should try using the Zotero sync and storage with groups as an experiment. Poo…

Dawn: Do not worry about this. Zotero Standalone works fine and has for a long time. Several of my project's volunteers use the standalone version with Chrome on a Mac a few use it with Safari. They have the same ability to click on an icon to impor…

There is little that Zotero can do to improve the situation with OMICS journals. I have noticed that recently OMICS journal metadata quality has degenerated from not-so-good to essentially unusable. This week I found all article DOIs for an issue…

The CRE software uses the list of items within the ISI CR tag to do its magic. The CR tag contains a list of citing and cited items for each record. I'm unaware of _any_ reference management software that has a mechanism to store record-linked citat…

Although the journal article records on this site have options to download in BibTeX and RIS formats; the metadata is placed within the wrong tags and is systematically incomplete. Their RIS has all authors under a single tag and inconsistent first…

I have been trying to resist my urge to post about this but here goes... I agree that there isn't really an Index Medicus style but lots of folks in authority are certain that there is such a "style" and no amount of evidence will convince them oth…

This will work even if you saved both sets of records into your Library. Sort by import time, select the proper (earlier or later) group and move to the trash in smaller groups emptying as you go. edit: What adamsmith said above. Even with a very …

Have you changed your monitor resolution in an attempt to accommodate your eyesight? This can make things seem more fuzzy. If you are using the FF version and you are using the zoom view function, this too can make text fuzzy. Each of these things s…

I don't have access to Scopus but I understand that all Embase records are included in Scopus. If you have access to Scopus, you can use that. There is a working Zotero translator for Scopus.
