I, and many others, recommend that pdf files and the associated metadata should come from the publishers' websites. Much better, more complete metadata from there. Use GS to locate the items. Then, visit the publisher website for the pdf and metadat…

It sounds like there is a simple way to fix your problem. We need to know more about your system before anyone can help. What is your operating system? What version of Zotero? What word processor? See: http://www.zotero.org/support/getting_help

@sem Please spend a few moments reading about the negative side of the impact factor game -- below and elsewhere. There are many unpleasant things to say about impact factors. The most pleasant thing I can say about the measure is that sub-special…

When you enter the decorated characters in other programs do they always display correctly? What is the Windows system language setting? I assume that your keyboard has the characters built-in and that you are not using special key combinations wi…

Unless I misunderstand you, all your records are in your Zotero library -- the topmost item in the left column. Each Zotero record and attached documents can be in many or no collections. If you haven't added anything new to Zotero after you deleted…

Indeed, many nations have laws that prohibit such data gathering by websites unless users specifically opt-in. That said, I have had numerous requests from journal publishers, universities, and individual authors to provide aggregate summaries of …

@adamsmith This is great. Thank you.

While I don't think @adamsmith was "blaming" you personally for contributing to security risks, I do believe that each us has a personal responsibility to behave prudently even if it is inconvient to do so. When vulnerabilities are found in software…

When I first noticed this I spoke with a couple of folks at WorldCat. I was told that they had many objections to RIS with certain decorated characters. They say that they are considering my request that they embed unAPI with UTF-8. For the longest…

Try this: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step I'm not sure that it is what @adamsmith was pointing to but I think you will find it helpful.

As someone working in an all-Mac shop, I suggest that you consider installing FireFox and Zotero for FireFox. We use FireFox exclusively for literature searching and bringing citations into Zotero. I am really pleased with this set-up. I found that …

Beware of CrossRef as an authority for author names. Many author names attached to CrossRef records have the author's first name as the last name and instead of a first-name initial they have the first letter of the last name.

@ Rintze I agree with these suggestions. I have been thinking about making similar suggestions for edits. I believe that the changes may make the page more easily understood for new Zotero users. Some of the labels were even confusing to me.

I have a couple of comments that you probably will not like. If an article, book chapter, or report is used as a citation you should have at-hand a print or electronic copy of the complete document. (See also my final paragraph.) With the document …

In my experience, the EndNote utility you describe has always been error-prone, at least for larger documents.

Last year, my university received a letter from Thompson-Reuters questioning the use of EN XML as an export format for records from my online literature database. We removed that format. Apparently, only ris and enw formats are OK. At least, that is…

edit: a much better link to a tutorial than was in the earlier version of this comment Field codes are hidden bits of data that EndNote or Zotero inserts into the body of your paper that allow you to move blocks of text around and automatically re-…

If items that were cited in your thesis are now in Zotero (and are correct), this is less work than you expect. It is much less work if you have a numeric style. For safety, be sure that you have saved copies of your document with and withour the E…

Try these instructions: http://www.zotero.org/support/styles If that doesn't help please ask again with more details (describe your system, Zotero FireFox plug-in or stand alone). Please be specific.
-
@aurimus In my experience, clicking on the main link will take me to a full text item that may or may not be on the publisher's website. When I am taken to a publishers website I'm usually taken directly to the pdf. Unless my university has a subscr…

Although I agree about the problems with metadata from MSAS, it seems that every record has a correct DOI. I am able to be successful by clicking through the DOI to the publishers' sites. I receive the correct metadata from the publisher. I am not a…

1) Are you creating a bibliography for your thesis? 2) did you use Zotero to insert references into your thesis? 3) Are you using a numbered style or an author(date) style? If you have already finalized your thesis and did not use Zotero to add th…
-
Please try again using a completely new document. When you insert a reference, it should be one that you didn't use with your original document. Try disabling other (non-Zotero) FireFox plug-ins and restarting FireFox. If that doesn't help, try rest…

After 50 downloads, Sage "wants" no less than 6 seconds between citation requests. If you exceed this limit, your IP is locked-out for an hour. If you exceed the limit again it is necessary to send an email to them with a code before you again have …

Maybe this is useful:: Several publishers provide their metadata to NLM-PubMed and other literature databases several days before the DOIs are registered with CrossRef. Emerald Group, and Lippincott Williams &Wilkins, and at least one other majo…
-
Possibly, but only if the other machine connects with a sufficiently different ip. I seem to remember a discussion about slowing down the request rate to make the Zotero script less script-like. Did anything come of that? Sage also has limits to th…

Even from the beta stage of PubMed, late 1994-95, abstracts were included if they were available from the publisher. Early PubMed was a free version of / or interface to Medline. At that time, only about half of the Medline article records had abstr…

@palettemuse Although I sometimes use Zotero for writing. I use it as a way to convert records from many publishers into MODS. I move literally thousands of items in and out of Zotero each day. (I convert records, delete them from my Zotero databas…

I have tested the Issue=0 issue with ScienceDirect using the Elsevier journal Accident Analysis and Prevention. Print and pdf versions list no issue number for single-issue volumes. However, the ScienceDirect export for RIS, RefWorks-Direct, and Bib…

I like this idea. If I am within the system that uses a proxy, clicking a de-proxified URL will go through my university automatically. However, if I want to cite an item, I don't want the reference to contain the proxy. Am I missing something?
