As an indexer, I object to the idea of omitting parts of names from a database. I know this because I have received many requests from authors to have their works consolidated to one name -- the full name. I've never received a request to consolidat…

http://www.elsevier.com/journals/injury-extra/1572-3461/guide-for-authors You are correct about the superscript in the instructions. However, in both the html and pdf versions reference numbers are in square brackets.

Thank you. I was afraid that would be the case with the ISSN. /edit: Maybe things will improve with the transition to the Atypon Literatum platform.

I was not writing about some variant of Roget's Thesaurus but a database thesaurus. A modern structured database thesaurus is not based on common language. When you cite Foucault or Eco you indicate to me that we are arguing from the same point. S…

This seems to be a discussion about automating a hierarchical taxonomy of tags similar to terms in a database thesaurus. I think that is a great idea. Open source thesaurus development software exists that could help with setting up the hierarchical…

FWIW If your reference list contains more than a few authors with names beginning with B and the primary readership will be from outside Northwest Europe, I recommend commenting in your reply letter that placement of the name could confuse most read…

Yes. This answers my questions. Thank you for your helpful explanations.

Thanks, Aurimas Here is the URL shortened with Bit.Ly http://bit.ly/1sWhb2w Here is the corrected URL: http://www.safetylit.org/citations/index.php?fuseaction=citations.viewdetails&citationIds[]=citjournalarticle_66667_23

I switched to using numbers that begin with zero to accomplish this.

Are there any plans to allow the bookmarklet to save into a bookmarklet collection instead of the root library. I would find that so much more useful that the current way it works.

Dan's message was posted while I was drafting my post, below. (edit) What was the site from which you downloaded Zotero? Silverlight? If you used a third party site then that site may be the source of the malware. The program you downloaded itself …

For what its worth, now and then PubMed has journal articles with semi-colons or colons following a question mark to indicate a subtitle. This is likely in the metadata provided by the publisher. (it is in the metadata the publisher provides for exp…

ORCID is a great idea but it isn't yet ready for use with Zotero -- much less setting up a 2-way system through the ORCID API. Maybe in a year we should revisit this. ORCID currently has no standard for entry of author name variants. It has no stan…

i've one more thing to add to this discussion. As suggested above there are often many ways to represent an author's name. Although some styles require the author name to be presented as it was in the original; it isn't always clear what name form …

I'll try that. The verdict must be delayed until another update. I'll report again at that time.

I have set add-ons to "Update add-ons automatically" from the add-ons gear menu. Under Zotero-more I have Automatic Updates set to "On". I suspected that automatic updates didn't work because I downloaded Zotero from the Zotero website, but now I re…
-
Yes. Those are my settings. Some other add-ons are set as "No". Other are set as "Default".
-
Yes. Zotero updates correctly with "check for updates" but I don't always want to update all the add-ons, just the ones I trust not to gum things up.

Collection names can begin with numerals. "01-ZooAnimals" will appear at the top of the list--right below library.

Mac OS. This is not always so straightforward. I reset FF and lost all of my FF user files + backups. My entire FF profile was gone. I certainly didn't expect that. I was able to find my Zotero files on Time Machine but the most recent Mavericks u…

Are you sure that you aren't in the "Trash" collection when you experience this? You cannot save new items to the trash. if you opened the trash to empty it and didn't select another collection before closing Zotero, this is normal behavior. Be sure…

I would find it useful to know the current Zotero versions. would it make sense to place a "sticky" that includes the current versions of Z-FF, Z-SA, and the current beta? Unless I've not been looking in the right place, I need to dig through severa…

You didn't say what versions of Zotero (standalone, FF plug-in) you are using. Nor did you state the LOffice version. You should be sure that you are using the most up to date versions of Zotero and plug-ins. It might be helpful to report what oper…

There might be other more thorough answers but here are a few things you can do quickly. Try inserting the reference in a completely new document. If that causes a freeze you know that something is wrong with that record. I tested by downloading t…

Don't bother to report errors in the content or punctuation to PubMed. They can't take your word that your correction is true. PubMed will suggest that you contact the journal. If the journal agrees with you, they can send a correction to the alread…

Alas, it isn't uncommon for some academics to require screen prints in an attempt to verify that the student did the assigned work. Somehow a screen print is supposed to prove that the student didn't purchase a bibliography. There may be other reaso…

You should try a Spotlight search using an uncommon phrase from the missing 'lost' document. Spotlight will find all versions of the document. Be sure to set the search scope to include everything not just your document directory. http://support.ap…

"shouldn't have authors without first names" Mononyms are common in Indonesia. There are several well-published authors in the engineering and psychology fields from there who use one name. The same is true for authors from 19th and early 20th cent…
