I can use the magic want to bring your reference into Zotero using the ISBN for your document. Try 9789264047907 or 9264047905 the ISBNs for the pdf and print versions, respectively. I wonder why Zotero doesn't obtain the metadata when using the DO…

Interesting. I tested 10.1787/20725310 (a more recent item from OECD) and it doesn't work in Zotero either. I can get to the documents via http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/20725310 and http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/10.1787/uranium-2009-en Someone with mor…

"Zotero uses the following databases for looking up item metadata:WorldCat for ISBNs, CrossRef for DOIs, and NCBI PubMed for PubMed IDs." (zotero documentation) Are you sure that the items are included in the systems listed above? Try this DOI. …

Do you know about the right-click menu for the title field. It will allow you to quickly change the format to sentence case. The sentence case change can't be automated because titles may contain proper nouns that must begin with an upper case lett…

Here is another case where the the search field at the upper right of the page is a shiny object. Is there a reason for not just eliminating the Google search field until the form field can instead point to the "real" forum search? Is this just a ma…

There doesn't seem to agreement where prof. 6 should appear in an alphabetical listing of author names. He does fine work. What a character!

At most, half of the new PubMed records have DOIs. All have PMIDs and URLs can be formed using them (as immediately above). The PubMed record will have the original add date and a last-revised date. For the vast majority of early PubMed records,muc…

Try this within FF, temporarily disable Zotero restart FF don't enable Zotero yet quit FF If you have Zotero standalone be sure to quit that too. restart your computer Check again for updates to the operating system, install if available If there…

After some reflection, I am a little less annoyed with NoodleTools. I think that the main purpose is to teach the basics of formal writing -- not to be a tool to assist with making the task of writing easier. It seems to be targeted to young, inexpe…

I see one violation to the specification and possibly a second one. I'm not sure how tolerant the import script is. It could be that these are not fatal errors. The author name should be formatted AU - Lastname,Firstname That is, with no space b…

@ekrouse60 I just realized something about Noodletools. I signed up for the $15/yr offer out of curiosity. I couldn't find a way to automatically download citation metadata. The purpose of this tool seems to be hand-holding to reduce errors while ha…

@ekrouse60 How many records do you have in Noodle tools? Bringing articles and book citations into Zotero can be done quite quickly. If you have access to the internet and your school has the needed subscriptions to journals, you can redo your colle…

This summer I tried to help two junior college students who were making the transition to a bachelor's program. My help was requested to assist with exactly this problem. The support people said --this is close to an exact quote -- You or your sc…

This may be a coincidence. Yesterday and the day before I noticed that syncing was sluggish during my noon hour in California. That would be about the time in question. I started a manual sync and went to lunch expecting that when I returned the tas…

Thank you for helping me to better understand these issues and processes

@adamsmith I'm not sure how to interpret the status of things on Github even though I've read a lot about the site. I suspect that many others are even less aware. Take this topic, for example. I see that a suggestion concerning publication place wa…

1 Are you asking how to move records in the group library to your personal library? 2 Are you asking how to (after separation) create a new group library that contains a subset of the articles from the existing library?
-
Is there further progress on getting this into 3.5?
-
Any progress on this? I find that the problem of placing the cursor to resize the Zotero window has become more difficult with the two recent FF updates.
-
Could not a document with a series number and a place be entered as a report?

Safari for Windows can misbehave -- especially when malware software is set to strong protection. Can any of your students successfully bring records into Zotero using the FireFox plug-in? If not the problem may be related to your instition's networ…
-
Search the forums for "range" using the search link in the left hand column (NOT the search field above). Date ranges can be a problem for Zotero. There are several discussions about work-arounds.
-
...and, adding to @adamsmith 's comments, what add-ons or plugins are in FF? Try disabling any that aren't directly related to Zotero.

Look in the right side column with the citation details. At the far right side of the row with publication date information; what do you see? There should be one or more letters that show the amount of detail in the date. In English it is YMD for ye…

I envy your access to Scopus. Really! It is a great database for current and recent articles. I used it over several months when I was in Europe. Although many universities in the USA participated in a no or low cost 2-year trial I don't think tha…

From your remarks, I think that someone other than you did the software update. The switch from MS Word 2003 to Word 2010 not only brought a significant change in the user interface; it also brought a more significant change in the file format (behi…

Is there any possibility that this could be keyboard related? There are websites that I registered while I was living in Sweden and using a campus computer but could not log in when I used my USA MacBook. (Zotero was not one of the sites.) I registe…

To add more information about this, the PubMed site now has occasional similar, if less dramatic, problems. This began a few weeks ago with the new PubMed 3 column format for search results. If the records per screen is set to display a listing that…

By toggle mode, do you mean what you get when you (within bottom of the browser window mode) click on the icon to open Zotero in a browser tab? What version of FireFox? When I use the latest Zotero for FF, beginning with FF 12; if I open the brows…
