  • What style? Is there another record with Horvath as an author in your database? Was there another citation by that author in your manuscript? Check how all records in your database with Horvath as author have his/her name entered. They should be exa…
  • Looking back over my list, I don't think that my search included a journal article. The db does include the journals of the Soc of Automotive Eng; IEEE and selected articles from large and small publishers' journals
  • See: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29002616/EPA-example.txt This includes technical reports, journal articles, and a book or two. No designation of what is what.
  • Alas, no. The EPA site also includes journal articles. I have always just hand entered items from the EPA library sites. edit: cut and paste
  • My "normal" settings: Tracking: Tell websites I do not want to be tracked -- NOT ticked History: Firefox will remember history After the updates, the Tell Websites box became ticked and the history settings were changed to: Use custom settings wi…
  • The last two (maybe three) updates of FF switched me to a higher privacy mode without action by me. I had to reset it to my previous setting to get Zotero and several websites to work properly.
  • Are you saying that every different reference that you add after 145 is also labeled as 145? And that although they are numbered "145" the bibliographic entry includes the correct contents for each new reference? Do you have the most recent versio…
  • What word processor? What version of Zotero? Fully describe your situation, please. See: https://www.zotero.org/support/getting_help
  • There is now a (wonderful) name toggle with 4.06! Right click on the name either of the name fields.
  • I would be really thrilled if in the "about Zotero" box for FF and SA not only would the installed version be indicated (as it is now) but also the version number of the most current version available. A link to "update now" would make this even bet…
  • When someone requests that a new thread be started it is because it becomes easier to help you in a new discussion thread. It is not a way of postponing helpful advice. Covering a topic in a new thread will also facilitate finding the answers other…
  • Getting your metadata into the header of each of your articles might be a rather simple process for an expert or it could be impossible without significant changes to your web publishing system. If your journal issues and articles are published via…
  • I hope that even with batch editing something can be done to ease the task of converting the case of author names. All-Upper case authors from the original item when copy-pasted into Zotero would greatly benefit from a right click conversion. This i…
  • And while revising the download page... please consider adding a statement of the current version of the connectors, FF plug-in, and stand alone. It takes a great deal of effort to keep current. I only find out about each release when it is mentione…
  • This looks great for viewing existing records. I'm concerned about what would be involved in editing incomplete imported records (such as adding the issue number in Gabriel_p's or Rintze's examples). How would this be implemented for records that ar…
  • Right-click ->paste hasn't worked for me in a long time. But under Win 7, ctl-v should work. If it doesn't work for Zotero, test the copy paste on some text in a word processor document by using ctl-c / ctl-v. If it doesn't work in your word proc…
  • The bookmarklet in iPad should place the item in your Zotero.org library. If that is not what you are getting, please provide more details. Do you have a Zotero.org account? What references do not work (the exact url)? What steps did you take in you…
  • @adamsmith I think that the style isn't as important here as is the way the contributors of the book were envisioned. Please see my edited comments. The Routledge version of the book lists O&R as editors. That O&R are remembered as authors …
  • The form of the citation you included suggests that Malinowski's essay was in the original version (1923) of the book. I believe that the essay was in a later printing of a book that was _compiled/edited_ by someone else. Thus, this is even more co…
  • The authors of the chapter should be entered as authors but the _editors_ of the book should be entered not as authors but as editors. http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/edited_volumes_and_book_chapters
  • How quickly does the automatic update from zotero.org happen? All of my Zotero installations have been downloaded from Zotero.org but I always need to go back to manually download each version after I read of the new version here in the forum.
  • This seems to have become more important due to the reaction after Elsevier's purchase of Mendeley.
  • Was there any determination of action about the right click "Transform Text" > sentence case? I am referring to the questions of an upper-case character when the first character in a title is a singe or double quotation mark or "¿" or some other …
  • @olin Are you using the new FF private browsing?
  • @adamsmith Even then, som editing of the manuscript will be needed to meet the various requirements of different styles. For reference notes that cannot be automated, I developed my own way of indicating a reminder that a reference item will need …
  • @adamsmith "are you saying that ISBN breaks..." Yes and no.I've noticed that this occurs mostly with books published in the mid-1980s and before. It also seems related to the complexity of the institution name ("Transportation Research Board. Nation…
  • I have recently noticed this when using the magic wand and ISBNs when the item includes institional authors. Also, sometimes the book's author field in the right column is populated as "Institution Name, (first author)" The simple editing tasks r…
  • After deleting about 11 thousand unneeded items from my local Zotero (and making a backup of my Zotero folder) I reset and restored from local. Now, everythig is fine.
  • I realize that the 4.0.1 has just become available and everyone is probably busy with that. However, I would like some guidance. I have reviewed the documentation about syncing and there are several things to do when syncing doesn't complete. Howeve…
  • I tried searching Zotero for the string and had no result within Zotero FF or online.
