This will not help with your current situation but please consider buying an external drive for Mac TimeMachine backups. For $100 US you can buy a sufficiently large drive so that you will never need to worry about losses like you experienced. Time …

Are you using plug-ins? This is not a common problem when only using Zotero without plug-ins. Some plug-ins don't yet play well with Zotero 7.

Do you have a specific style requirement? A popular numeric style is Vancouver. There are several Vancouver styles with small differences among them. Is your question more basic? https://www.zotero.org/support/creating_bibliographies Word proces…

What add-on? RSS capabilities are built-in to the basic Zotero program. edit: What improvements do you suggest?

Please add further details to your request. The nature of your problem / request is not clear. Do you believe that there are specific issues with the JAMA Oncology style? Something else?

I'm in my mid-70s and don't understand how viewing Zotero 1) online within a browser tab or 2) within an application window can be confused. There are vivid differences in the UI in addition to the different window appearances. I do get that here i…

If you use the Zotero word processor integration your bibliography will be created automatically with only the cited items in your document. https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_integration The typical user will have many more items in th…

What citation style are you using? When you see citations to articles from that journal, how do they appear in the reference list? It is common for contemporary journals to have double (or even triple) issues. This is expressed by issue numbers (2…

A database and the read/write software that allows two or more users to edit the same record simultaneously must be designed for that "from the ground up". A database generally "doesn't like" its tables to be opened by different edit-privileged us…

Some styles require the use of shortened titles. Having an editable ShortTitle field will allow you to use this if you must use one of those styles in a future manuscript. If you are requesting that some of the metadata element types may be optiona…

In my personal experience, the beta is stable and ideal. However, I don't use some of the incompatible plug-ins that some users find almost essential. Also, there are several new features that continue to be adjusted towards perfection. To me, Zoter…

Is someone else reviewing your thesis document (and making comments or edits)?

Essentially all support for Juris-M is provided at: https://juris-m.github.io/

What word processor, version? What computer operating system? Do you mean a single small box at the beginning of where you want a line or do you mean that you get a rectangle that is the size/length of what you expect should be a line? This is pro…
-
@adamsmith Yeah, I understand. Sometimes the type icon can be rather subtle. Still, I prefer knowing what type the publisher has classified the item.
-
Please explain why you prefer not knowing the item type. I might genuinely find that perspective useful. I find it valuable to know what publication type the publisher has labeled an item. The distinctions between report, thesis, and book section (…

I know that you are limited by budget and the resources you have but could this be related to the power and memory of your computer? Folks in my shop recently completed 2 VERY large documents: one was 500 pages with about 1100 references and the ot…

@vemcgee Consider this: If you have unwanted initials in your in-line citations, it may indicate that you have authors in your Zotero with names with various levels of completeness. J. Brown, J. A. Brown, John Brown, John Allan Brown, should all be …
-
It sounds as though most of your library may consist of journal articles, their abstracts, and your own notes concerning the relevance of the article. If that is the case, you can very quickly populate Zotero by finding each article online and autom…
-
What computer OS? What version of Zotero? Does this happen if plug-ins are disabled? Does it make a difference if Zotero is first opened on one screen or the other?
-
In your case the extraordinary value of Zotero will come when you are writing the manuscripts of your chapters. Zotero makes entering precisely formatted reference citations a trivial one-click task. The same ease of creating a bibliography. If you …

If not, tight RIGHT click, save as...

Please provide examples of URLs for articles that you cannot download. Please specify if the download problem is the PDF file, the article metadata, or both.

At the present time, Zotero will convert to "sentence case" and first-letter capitalization of proper nouns is lost. Zotero 7 will retain upper case for certain abbreviations and acronyms. I agree that it would be nice to have a plug-in of words, na…
-
Can you better describe what isn't working for you? Zotero imports records from that site for me. Individual items from the website import as "reports" with all relevant metadata and a summary. Following a condition or disease search, the results …
-
I have had success by enclosing the article title in quotes and searching (maybe also include the author's lastname outside of the quote.. Then link to the article -- especially to the article on the journal publisher's website. If a regular search …

Trust @adamsmith regarding the Chicago citation style. He is an expert, an authority. In this case, the only way he can be giving you incorrect advice is if you are submitting to an institution that is demanding a modified Chicago style.

You have an unlimited amount of metadata storage. You can store many thousands of Zotero records. The 300 MB relates to the size of the files that you wish to store. For example, if your PDF files are each 2 MB you can store about 150 of them. If y…

The ISBN from the Google page is different from the ISBN for the book from that listed for the print or paper page from the Crossway publisher page. Zotero will save other books by that author that are linked-to from that page (Shadow of the Titan…
