  • Yes, I meant the FF version. The SA version would be less a problem. This will be a valuable improvement. I trust that the UI display issues can be worked out satisfactorily. Not only is the current abstract view rather crowded, it is "live". I have…
  • @aurimas I certainly agree that viewing the abstract in Zotero's right column is difficult. If there were some enhancement of the user interface that improved the abstract view I would really be pleased. I don't know about the frame idea. It seems t…
  • For what its worth, a couple of months ago someone gave me his well-used Android 2.3 device so I could use it to assess the appearance of my website on that device family. Out of curiosity, I installed Zandy. Zandy works. I can't endorse Zandy beca…
  • When I use the bookmarklet from my tablet and access my online Zotero library, sorting by date-added isn't quite as convenient. I may not use the item right away. I may add records via a translator from my desk computer before I get around to moving…
  • I would be pleased if there were a standard collection for bookmarklet just as there is for trash. It would be much easier to move items from a dedicated bookmarklet collection than it is to find the bookmarklet-added items in the library before mov…
  • If your university's email system is managed by Google you can talk with your network / email team and argue for allowing that function. It is under your university's control. I had the same experience when my university switched from self-managing …
  • @ajene Does your university allow a pdf-only thesis? If that is the case, it is likely to be taken-up by more universities. That would be incentive for the word processor developers to move toward linking. @aurimas In my experience, one-way linking…
  • As was said in an earlier thread, the price of a second large-capasity hard drive is US$100 to $150. I know of no OS that was released in the past 4 years that doesn't have reliable automatic back-up built-in. I use Mac OS 10 and the silly sounding …
  • I can confirm that all metadata downloads (in any format) from Wiley journals have intermitently failed over the past 48+ hours. The problem lasts for a few minutes then it goes away only to return for another few minutes.
  • When we tested ReadCube this feature only worked with articles from Nature Publishing Group.
  • I read a pdf report that handled the bib ref to text locations well. I wish that I saved the document but I did not. Clicking on the bib entry produced a popup listing of all the places where the reference was cited in the body of the document. Ther…
  • While I recognize that the journal presents its name in all upper case characters, that is not how it is represented in catalogs or indices. That is not how the journal name would be presented in most citation abbreviation formats. If I were to ment…
  • My problem is that there is no pattern to the name order inthe metadata from some journals. In my example above, some articles from the journal issue have transliterated names in the proper order and some articles have names reversed. Sometimes auth…
  • I'll need to check the latest standards but unless there has been a recent change, the two major English language cataloging guides state that the above journal titles and their abbreviations would not be in all caps. All caps are used only for jour…
  • @cmontilla0806 If the citation records are online (WorldCat, Google Books) or if you have ISBNs and DOIs for your spreadsheet records; you should be able to import all of your items in less than 2hours -- perhaps, much less. There will not be a nee…
  • How forgiving is Zotero concerning the spaces after the 2-letter tag and "-"? There is somthing amiss with the line "P IV".
  • Here is another example of how useful "toggle-names" would be. Please see this from ScienceDirect: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877705811048363 The presented name order differs by article within this journal issue.
  • The translator is "Engineering Village". The URLs will probably be useless to you because they are a garbled proxy-session mess. http://www.engineeringvillage.com/controller/servlet/Controller?CID=quickSearchAbstractFormat&searchtype=Quick&…
  • I have volunteered to participate in an ORCID workgroup. I hope to lead the participants to an understanding of the importance metadata structure. From the feedback I received, it is clear that the decision makers belive that requiring a structured …
  • It is impossible to parse the information on an ORCID record page because publication information is mostly in narrative form. Citations differ in format from one ORCID user record to another and even within a single user's publication list. Right …
  • Even with the BibTeX idea, there are several columns of information that will not be transferred. There will still be a need to use notes and tags for that extra information. I use Zotero primarily as a MODS translator. I import items from database…
  • I believe that the _primary_ purpose is to allow users to capture bibliographic data and use it to add reference citations to manuscripts. The problem with including the PubMed URL where you want it to be is that the PubMed URL will be included in a…
  • @zuofeng, mronkko If I understand correctly, Zotero's lookup feature will only fulfill part on the task described above. It appears that zuofeng is required to fill out a form to obtain an item that is not in his or her library (through what we cal…
  • If you are having problems, perhaps a dedicated login-password management program might be better suited to the task. I understand that sometimes Zotero is useful as a means of accomplishing tasks for which it wasn't intended. My primary use of Zot…
  • Please provide more detail about what you want to accomplish (you told us what you think you must do to accomplish your task). There may be other ways to do what you need done.
  • Please spend some time reading the Zotero documentation. Do a Google search on "Zotero tutorials" and watch the introductory ones. I don't understand what yoy are trying to do with Zotero (especially after reading your post about bank accounts). Zot…
  • Please tell us your operating system, word processor version, and Zotero version. Are your two problems exhibited in the main text body or in some table or note? Please also try starting a completely new document. Type a few words and insert the re…
  • Background information: If you find an interesting "review" article and it is newly added to PubMed, it may or may not yet have been assigned a publication type. Thus, it will be impossible for Zotero to use the (then) available PubMed metadata as …
  • Fisheries Research appears to use a standard Elsevier style. Zotero offers several Elsevier styles. Go to http://www.zotero.org/styles and search for "Elsevier". You will find the style you need. It will not have the title of your journal but you ca…
  • @sem I didn't intend to say (above) that IFs are distracting. However, now that you mention it, I think that the use of IFs is distracting from the true and relative value of each journal. A comparison score has to be valid and meaningful to be use…
