The NLM uses two mechanisms (both endorsed by international standards bodies) to disambiguate journal titles. One mechanism is to include the city where the journal was first published. The other involves two journals with the same name (generally t…

Which Zotero -- within FireFox or Z stand-alone? Which version number of Zotero. Are you running Windows on your Mac? Isn't Word 2015 for the Windows platform and 2016 for Mac? How large is your document? How many references? How large is your Zot…

First, please report the Zotero, FireFox, and OS 10 versions you are using. I think you are using Zotero within FF, please correct me if you are using the Zotero stand-alone. In an attempt to be simple and straightforward, Zotero can sometimes be t…

What style are you using? Try refreshing your bibliography. Try changing the citation style for the document to something else and then switching back to your original style. These may be ways to get your document to recognize the change in the r…

Depending upon the publisher or database there can be many representations of the particles in an author's name. This becomes an even greater problem with compound names. Different casing and hyphenation patterns further complicate the issue. For e…

The book-section formatting will by design produce the bib entry you find to be inappropriate. I'm unfamiliar with a style that requires chapter names only styles where the page range indicated. I think that I would accomplish what you want by ente…

More likely, there was a problem on my end. I will do much testing and get back with you. If you say this should work, I'll go with what you have in the most recent version. My use of MLZ / Juris-M is to capture metadata into Zotero, make a few edi…

Does a Juris-M MODS export include translations / transliterations? I haven't tried lately...I couldn't get an earlier version of MLZ to do this, at least not as I expected? I realize that format change exports are not the primary reason to use Juri…

Here is another problem (again, ScienceDirect): 10.1016/j.cobeha.2015.02.009 The metadata supplied by Elsevier to CrossRef and made available via BibTeX and RIS has the lead author's family name as "Read Montague" and his given name as "P". The pr…

Another example (from ScienceDirect, this time) of Zotero's import of metadata where author initials are not separated by periods or spaces: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352154614000230 and http://www.sciencedirect.com/scien…

Zotero is well-used by thousands of Mac owners. There are ways to fix your problem. Take a step back and let the experts here help sort this out. Displays of high emotional frustration, although common among thesis writers, only get in the way of ge…

To some extent, this is a nearly insurmountable problem in that we are at the mercy of journal editors and publishers and of database curators. The metadata provided will have many different representation of he same authors name -- with and without…

I wish I had asked this a week ago. I then went through several hundred records with name problems and applied fixes. I had several examples of each of the problems mentioned in your 3rd paragraph. My workflow will bring a hundred more in a few week…

What do you need for in-text reference appearance? I don't understand your question about the journal not being in your database. Are you hand entering everything? You can import your records directly from publisher websites: http://hum.sagepub.co…
-
Likely, you are safe. There should be a folder on your desktop "Old Firefox Data." Search the forum for that phrase (with the quotes) for what to do with the files within. I'm typing on a tablet and don't want to try to guide you typing one key a…
-
Also, look for the "missing" items in your library. It could be that when you were being tidy that you removed the records from a collection but that they remain in your library. I learned this from experience.

I usually use an old MacBook when I'm not on my desktop. Sometimes, I must connect to a network that will only accept connections from Windows machines (a long story). I can work with an early 2013 Asus transformer book using Firefox, Zotero, and a …

The current version of Zotero Ffirefox is 4.0.27.5 and Z Standalone is 4.0.27.6. That could be your problem. Anyway, you will need to update Zotero before the real experts here can help.
-
bwiernik Thank you. That is what I've been doing. Metadata from some sources have the period but others do not. I have the feeling that most do not.
-
A 2000 record library is not a problem for me. I have significantly more than that, many with attachments. I have purchased extra storage.

Another source of abbreviations: There are quite a few medical and health-related journals that are no longer published that do not have abbreviations in current the U.S. National Library of Medicine listings. Although I frequently see cites to tho…
-
kgogbold Some of the Informit databases do not provide any metadata to import into Zotero. Thus, the webpage import. Which of the databases were you using? The journal article database should supply the metadata you want. You will need to post e…

@kgobold Ah... I can see why you asked about what I thought were obvious Sticky thread titles. The Sticky messages only appear at the top of the listing of all-forum-discussions and messages under the "general" category. The sticky thread titles d…
-
At the very top of the listing of discussions there are thread titles that are preceded with [Sticky]. As i write this the topmost item in the list of discussion threads is the one that answers your question.
-
See the STICKY post at the top of the list. The icon has been moved from the url address bar to another location. For long-time users this can take a bit of getting used to however, the new location and extended capabilities more than make up for a…

Getting into this a bit late... As a general rule, PubMed avoids journal subtitles in abbreviations. However, there are a few exceptions for when there are two or more journals with the same base name. Sometimes this is handled by abbreviating the …

See: https://www.zotero.org/styles search for National Library of Medicine ( not libraries ). There are several variants.

The tag selector is at the bottom of the left column ( the list of collections). If you don't see it, it may already be minimized.

Maybe it was the transition to all https?

Start here: https://www.zotero.org/support/quick_start_guide and https://www.zotero.org/support/ There are two versions of Zotoro. One is a plug-in for Firefox. This one requires a second plug-in to work with MS Word. The other is Zotero Stan…
