What Dan Stillman said is certainly correct. There are several other ways to right click on a Mac depending upon your computer model, OS version, and mouse / trackpad model. You can find several good explanations if you search Google for "mac right …

If I recall correctly: Within ProCite, select Print Bibliography from the File menu. Select the RIS output style and configure the RIS output to include the fields you want. Abstract is off by default; so select it. Select Save, and Text Only as …

Why do you want the * instead of the dash? Do you want this as an intermediate step to accomplish soomething else or is the * part of the format requirements you must follow?

Starting over may not be as bad as it seems. It may require less than a day. . . maybe much less. I had a similar problem while working on my PhD thesis. I was using WinWord and Reference Manager. It got so bad that I saved the document as text fil…

Using different document styles is not the problem. I understand that this Word Mac problem is caused by Word doing bad things to its own background xml. Also, it shouldn't matter that you have altered the formatting of your default style. I've read…

See also thread 21778 It is a known problem that sometimes inserting objects or even performing a cut and paste of text from the same document in Word can cause the Word document style type to be affected. If you place your cursor within text befor…

EBSCO may not allow you to rapidly request and download that many records. For example, Google Scholar has limits. Also, for any of several reasons, there may be limits set by your instition's library.

Although I cannot imagine how the current Zotero database structure and user interface could allow this; I would be extraordinarily pleased if we could have an extended journal table with publisher date and place ranges, print and electronic ISSNs, …

I like the small snip-its. They concisely yet clearly convey the idea and are useful on a variety of screen sizes and resolutions.

The PubMed system allows libraries to shareinformation about their subscription holdings. Through this, in-library users have access to link to full text of subscribed journals that participate. My university has not yet implemented this, so I can'…

I agree with suggestions 2, 5, or a combination. My current practice when bringing items via the address bar icon is to make a choice between selecting a particular collection where i want them to reside or creating a new collection for them. It wo…

Thanks, Rintze. ORCID is certainly interesting. Implementation will likely take years. Look at ResearcherID. I think people and institutions resist ResearcherID for a number of reasons beyond the connection with Thompson. Maybe if publishers begin t…

Not directly a Zotero issue but a problem (at least a puzzle) I am concerned by this and similar discussions concerning author names. I think that there are larger issues here than disambiguation of author names in a database and using the the disa…

I just tested and found that if I copy anything from the screen view of a Google Docs document and paste it to ANY text editor; the html tags (that aren't displayed on the Google document) are included. I rarely use Google docs so I can't be sure th…

Sometimes a letter will be given a title, sometimes not. Sometimes the letter comments on a published article or an event. I make changes to the letter's title in Zotero to something similar to: [Letter title], Comments on: [short cite of orig art…

What adamsmith said, but a further explanation-- Word sets default fonts for each document item style (the document item style, NOT the citation style you set in Zotero). In your Word document, place your cursor within the text that is shown in Cou…

In your word processor, I'll bet that Times New Roman, while not the setting for your normal style, is the font for other styles. Check your style settings by placing your cursor within the TNR text. Identify the style. Modify the style to display t…

Thank you. We escaped our angle brackets but I guess overlooked other problem characters. We are already working to fix the unescaped characters. Do you have any other advice for improving performance when folks download to Zotero? I'm really pushi…

From the provider of a bibliographic website this is a real problem for me and my database users. (SafetyLit.org is a free service presented without advertising.) I learned about this from a user who needed to download in RIS format and then import …

My most recent problem with all-caps names is with several of the ScopeMed journals -- ones that don't have doi numbers. I asked for several changes to be made to their ris export and they made them (lastname,firstname for authors, include the abstr…

In another thread it was suggested that converting author names to mixed case is best done automatically upon import. Nonetheless, a big +1 from me for this suggestion. I find that sites with faulty RIS downloads also seem to have a high prevalen…

Thank you for the link to this resource. The more I browse it the more I like it. While it misses some journals it is quite good. Even Ulrich's doesn't have them all.

I may be stating the obvious but.... This has different implications for manuscript prep and for "photo-ready" production. With ms prep , as adamsmith suggests above, figures are handled separately from the ms body. The author cannot know exactly…

WorldCat, while being one of the wonders of the world, is based upon data provided by member libraries from many nations. Unless there has been a recent improvement, there is no "standard" listing of places, publishers, etc. Author names are entered…

@mark Your reaction is similar to what mine was several years ago. Upon reflection, my opinion has changed a bit. ESM is an individual who derived a substantial portion of her income from the sale of her reference style book. Along came a software …

If a change is made to the translator, it would also be good to change the names from all upper case to mixed case. I wrote to CiNii in mid-December and received a very polite but non-committal reply with no acknowledgment of the data problem. I …

Several years ago Elizabeth S. Mills vigorously objected to an automated output of references in her citation style when it was incorporated into a popular genealogy records program -- The Master Genealogist (TMG). The issue was resolved satisfactor…

Perhaps, those things from thread 8073 should be added to the Papercuts list. I'll add them soon.
