Could the dropped ISSN/ISBN go into the Extra field?
-
About 6 weeks ago, I reported this to Elsevier and heard back from ScienceDirect. Not a bug but a feature. As I said above, although this is a book series, Elsevier and their ScienceDirect service are treating this as a serial (periodical). I pointe…

This always save directly to Zotero.org would please me -- especially if the save could be to a collection specific to the bookmarklet. My current practice is to find the online items by sorting by date-added. The ability to immediately go to a book…

I will let others provide information about the "how too do it". Are you thinking of including full text? I would be concerned about copyright issues and intellectual property rights. I think that it is mostly OK to share within a private group bu…

I have found that it is often better to work within various databases to narrow the records that meet the project criteria that to download large numbers of items to be screened later. I set collections with titles of each db searched and sub collec…

Edit: Deleted my response because I misread the question. This last issue seems to be something different from the thread topic. Could you be using a numeric style when you want an author/date style? See: https://www.zotero.org/support/styles

You can sort your Zotero library by item type and export only journal article type records.
-
I did this once by 1) exporting in csv, 2) opening the file in a spreadsheet; 3) copying the publication/journal column; 4) pasting it into a good text editor; 5) giving commands to sort by alphabet AND remove duplicate lines; and 6) editing out …

If I remember correctly, older versions of Zotero could take a long time when emptying the trash. Is Zotero up to date? If not, an old version will also throw other problems.

By what Zotero "should be doing", Frank and Sebastian are stating that Zotero is exactly following APA style guide requirements. If you want a cited item with 7 authors to list all authors the first time it appears in your manuscript you will _not_…

Your understandable frustration is getting in the way of resolving your problem. Look at. https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting Follow the troubleshooting steps and provide all the information requested. Also: Are…

Try using the keyboard commands to cut/copy and paste. The right-click doesn't work in the "magic wand" field.
-
https://www.zotero.org/support/collections_and_tags Else: Are the terms that offend you contained in the material you downloaded? Zotero doesn't add terms unless they are part of the metadata. Examples of tags? URL of imported items?
-
Do you mean that you upgraded Firefox or that you reset it?
-
"You cannot make changes to the currently selected collection." I wasn't suggesting a change but was pointing out for Orphée that I have had the same problem -- easily resolved. Indeed, I shudder to think that my offer of assistance could cause a …

I have found myself frustrated a few times by something similar when I tried to add an item and I had not moved away from the Trash collection.

Do any of the resident librarians/database folks know how to effectively report issues to OCLC? I have not had consistently successful responses from OCLC. I've had very little success lately. (Perhaps, related to launch of Discovery?) I presume t…

After I updated OS X to Yosemite I began to have problems with almost all program-opened dialog boxes opening behind a related window. I use 2 monitors so I get around the problem by moving the window to my other monitor. I haven't tried minimizing …

Exactly. I was only trying to add context to a situation that isn't necessarily straightforward. I don't think having these imported as a book type is a problem. Also, each of those linked-to pages provides a link to the pdf. The pdf, after metadat…

Most WHO reports have ISBNs assigned. http://www.who.int/gender/violence/who_multicountry_study/en/ Most reports (as opposed to "fact sheets" that can run for many pages) also have a summary version that has a different ISBN, for example: http://…

There is a possibility that your institution makes regular backups of your network drive. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

@aurimas Please do not consider your detailed explanations a "rant". I'm sure that I am not the only reader of this forum to appreciate learning the details of an issue.
-
Please see: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/wiki/Requesting-Styles Is the style you need required by a journal? If so which one? What about the in-text appearance? Is this an author(date) or a numbered style?
-
This is a more nuanced problem than it seems. Some articles from some journals JAMA, New Engl. J. Med. have MeSH terms pre-filled. The pre-filled terms will likely change and additional terms will likely be added as NLM indexers do their work. Some…

Thanks. I contacted the publisher immediately before posting my forum message. I'll update the forum if I hear a reply.

@cbracey If you will briefly scan this forum and notice the time stamps on questions and the answers, you will see that both simple and very complex questions and requests are handled quickly. I've been working with computers since mainframe days i…

Please further explain your problem. By "mobile site menu" do you refer to your library on the Zotero website when accessed through an iPad? Specifically, which menu button? I ask because I often use my iPad to access my library on the Zotero websi…

...it's being saved somewhere If you don't have a collection open, the citation will save to your library. The request for a full URL is essential to identifying the problem. I believe you are describing citation imports not citation plus pdf. T…

This turned out to be a known but rare Mac Firefox issue. (The only Firefox extension I have is Zotero. I have the most up-to-date non-beta versions of the Mac OS, Firefox, and Zotero.) It was suggested that I change the default setting of layout.c…
