Thanks, I only noticed that once I sent the message - I thought the student was using Chrome. I've looked at how this works in Edge and it should be reliable. I think you can just click on the crossed through eye icon (if that's what it is) and it s…

Thanks @adamsmith. The platform is named Overton. It's a citations analysis tool primarily, but it allows one to search through and access those policy documents (as well as the metrics information within). It requires a subscription though, so not …
-
Thanks Adam. Luckily she hasn't done that! But if one had no citations in Word, say, and had just exported libraries and then wiped Zotero, would it technically be possible to reintegrate them all together? Could you import several libraries and the…
-
Thanks @damnation. It didn't work when I modified an existing item in my library but it did when I created a new one from scratch. Is this normal? I did exactly the same thing in the extra field both times. It works, so I'm not complaining.

Hi all, Apologies for jumping back on this thread but I thought it made more sense than starting a new one. I am having trouble with the guidance given in this, and other recent threads. For example, there's a (hypothetical) book with an original…

Awesome damnation, I've just tried that and I imagine something like Nature is what they want. Thanks!

Thanks - so it's only any use for someone with an account, who logs into each PC they go onto?

I'm having a similar problem. Not for myself but for a new Zotero user. We were using Chrome and downloaded Zotero Standalone (with Word plugin) fine, but the Chrome Connector isn't working. In the right hand of the browser you see the Z (Zotero Co…

Hi all, I passed this info onto the student and having updated Chrome, she's now said Zotero is running properly, so thanks very much :) Kevin
-
Thanks guys, I think I might've solved this problem. The student had some unresolved track changes and as you might guess, citations 8-10 were within those track changes. As soon as she accepted them, it all seems to be resolved! There aren't any mo…
-
Thanks! I've asked for a copy of her document. I've asked her to check whether she can add a new reference though or whether there's anything hanging around from the deleted references. Hopefully we don't have to just copy the text over, unformatted…
-
Hi bwiernik, Thanks for your help. She doesn't want to add a new reference, just make the numbering consecutive. I don't have her document, but I'm pretty sure she has been adding Zotero citations around her manual footnotes. I gather that if she d…

If it helps, here's an example - http://imgur.com/a/HrPH4 She references a couple of books in Chicago (footnotes 2,4,5) but also elaborates upon Deleuze in footnote 3.

Brilliant, thanks Adam. The student has reported that she thinks it works now, so that's awesome.
-
Thanks - I was running a workshop and I usually ask students to follow my lead but it's possible she downloaded incorrectly. I tried to re-install from the downloads folder but perhaps if the wrong thing was downloaded? Anyway, I'll check with her. …
-
Hi Dan, Thanks for your reply. That makes sense. The student certainly did have an older Macbook so I'll suggest this. That's great if an alternative download option automatically appears (we like Zotero to be as simple as possible for students so i…
-
Hi Adam, Thanks. With the conflict resolution messages, I said yes to keeping the local object (this had her notes in). When she logged out of Zotero and then back in, the same conflict resolution message appeared. We tried a few times. Do we need …
-
Thanks all, That has resolved the problem, thanks! There's another issue though. The student is signed into both Zotero for Firefox and Zotero Standalone with the same log-in (I've seen her enter this) and the two libraries don't sync up. She's re…

Thanks guy, here's a screenshot. Do you think the programme just needs to be maximised? http://imgur.com/kboPktY Kevin

Brilliant, thank you. Just passed this info onto the student. Kevin

Hi Dan, Thank you, I've just tried a website I knew didn't work with Zotero and I've been able to save from the Firefox toolbar. Brilliant! Kevin
-
Hi Adam, Thanks for your help. I thought as much. A scanner for Zotero would be wonderful if someone was able to work on this. I haven't really investigated the use of scanning books for references so not sure how common it is.
-
Thanks Adam, that is brilliant and so helpful! I've tried it and it works. Cheers!
-
Thanks Adam, please do let me know when that's done.

I emailed Richard Pears, he replied: Hi Kevin, I can see Zotero's issue, as there is not consistency. I would suggest that they are cited in chronological order (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013). This is used in other referencing styles, e.g. APA. Best wish…
-
In the 9th edition, the authors don't say it exactly, but they mention citing sources published in the same year by the same author, and do put e.g. Miller (2006a) and Miller (2006b) in the bibliography. I know it's not quite same criteria, but it's…
-
Thanks Adam, yes the Elsevier Harvard does automatically list them by date. I use Harvard Cite Them Right as my default, which does list them by order of their citation in the document. Is this something that would have to be corrected by changing t…
-
I'm using Harvard. Is it possible to arrange these works in the bibliography by date? That's great if it does.
-
Thanks for your reply, Rintze. We have out guidance on referencing here - http://www.gold.ac.uk/library/research-referencing-skills/. It shows the citation styles we use, with examples of how we suggest Harvard, Chicago, etc be used (they are really…

Hi Adam, sorry to bring this back up but Ex-libris has replied to our systems librarian. Their response is below. Sorry, I'm not remotely aware of what any of it means, but will this sort out the problems we've had using Zotero on our Primo catalogu…
