When I have RIS imports where the authors first and last names are both in the lastname field, clicking on the switch to single field and immediately clicking on it again puts the name in two fields in the proper order. That is, except for when the …

Please describe your issue in greater detail. What version of Zotero? FF or Zotero stand alone? What OS? What are you merging? What do you mean by "hops"? Do you mean that a listing of items returns to the beginning of the list and you want it to …

Please give us the links to the items that do not seem to import. After you clikk on the url icon to download the article, does an information box appear in the lower right part of your screen? What text appears there, if any? To be sure that we…

The cost is quite small. The developer effort was quite large and continuing. I'll bet that your students wouldn't think twice about spending the cost of ZotPad on a game. I have read the few complaints about ZotPad at the iTunes store and they see…

Please remove the Google-based search from its position in the top menu bar. Replace it with the forum search. I was frequently frustrated by being unable to find forum posts that _I knew were there_ until someone pointed out the two search options…

@tzucker There is hope. Search the forums for ORCID, then visit http://about.orcid.org/ ORCID is run by a not-for-profit group that involves many of the big journal and book publishers, operators of bibliographic databases and others. Thompson-reu…

Thank you.

With a numeric style (Vancouver, AMA) all you need to do is insert the same Zotero record as a citation and your system will recognize that you have used it before. If you are citing different quotations from the same source. You can add the page nu…

I have a few questions and a suggestion. Are these objects in your possession? If so, how do you know the location of the find-spot or mint? The latter may be discernable from the object but not the find-spot. Did you personally find the object or i…

Thank you. VLC is very nice. It will be very helpful.

The Engineering Village translator doesn't work for me. I have one example listed below. I can provide others. URL: http://www.engineeringvillage2.org.libproxy.sdsu.edu/controller/servlet/Controller?CID=quickSearchAbstractFormat&searchtype=Quic…

Odd. I had this problem for ten days or so on two different systems. I tried to duplicate the problem but now, downloads in RIS format are brought into Zotero in a new collection without error. It is good to read that RIS behavior might change.…

@ElizabethShownMills Please accept my apology for misstating the primary reason for your taking exception to the attempt to incorporate your style guide into the genealogy software TMG. I certainly intended no disrespect. Indeed, I have nothing but …

I agree with need to wait for including ORCIDs with styles until it is established how publishers will want them formatted in references. That is an important but different issue from Zotero importing ORCIDs from PubMed or other sources. It loo…

It is possible that you can log into your instition library from home and through that proxy you can gain access to most of what you have when in the institution's system. Talk to a reference librarian about remote access.

Do not feel that your requests are being ignored. I, for one, am thinking of your problem. I'll write to you soon at your direct address.

The situation is tolerable thanks to the ability to sort the library by date-added. Thanks.

Which version? Citation 9? A couple of years ago I tried to help someone who was using Citation. I couldn't find _any_ export options. I'm unfamiliar with the more recent versions of Citation. I did a quick check of the bibliography management s…

Re: ORCID From the ORCID website: "Individuals will be able to register for an ORCID identifier at launch in October." ORCID is working with publishers and operators of literature databases to help solve the problem of non-unified author names. H…

@shjenkins I basically agree with your caution. However, the situation is not straightforward. Sometimes the author name that is imported into Zotero differs from that on the document. Some sources of metadata provide more complete author names th…

@streifenleopard Your questions brought out a side-dialog about the names attached to commands across operating systems and languages. You can safely ignore that until you become more familiar with Zotero. (These messages were more about other thre…

Still cannot export in MODS format. New numbers are below. After a shut down of the computer, restart of the computer, opening FF, opening Zotero, selecting a record, and attempting an export to MODS I get the following Error Report: 1544246852 and…

Are you intending for your database to be primarily for UW use or will it be open for the web in general? If open, and offered at no cost, pease contact me. I can explain to you how I use Zotero as one of the vital parts of production for my SafetyL…

To add to what adamsmith just said-- LibreOffice (also free) has replaced OpenOffice for many if not most OO users. LibreOffice reads and writes the same file formats as OO with the same file extensions. It essentially is the same product but with a…

Within EndNote you must select/indicate all of the records that you want to export. I haven't used EndNote in years so I cannot help you directly but a quick Google search gave me: In addition to the Zotero support page http://www.zotero.org/blog/m…

@akilic You haven't sufficiently described your problem and the setting in which the problem occurs. When requesting help for a problem please include: The version number of Zotero The version number of the Word plug-in Your operating system and …

This is a known problem and is well-discussed in the forum. Go to the search link at the left and enter "track changes". Zotero (and, I believe, essentially all bib management software) does not play nicely with word processing software when track …

You are not annoying, merely inexperienced. Zotero will not accept things one line at a time. Within your text edit application : You need to copy everything ( all the lines of text) beginning with the "T" of the first TY all the way through th…

Why would anyone pay to use an inferior -- not fully standards compliant -- product that has inadequate technical support? Why would a user of that product expect Zotero volunteers to help with getting a style that works in Zotero to also work in th…
