Yeah bizarrely they adopted a version of APA that’s 6 years out of date ?
-
ACM sorts the reference lists alphabetically, not by order of appearance. See an example here https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3603371 The CSL style is working correctly here
-
One of the things that’s very time consuming during updates is comparing all of the citations to see if they need to be disambiguated with initials or year suffixes. Skipping that is one of the major speed gains with automatic updates turned off. …
-
@Joby do you have automatic citation updates turned off? You could check in the Document Preferences window or see it if the citations have a dotted underline until you refresh. If automatic updates are disabled, then things like citation disambigua…

One potential option you could do on your end would be to make a bridge .exe file like the one used here https://github.com/mronkko/ZoteroQuickLook/tree/master/chrome/content
-
I would start by moving the Zotero app to the trash and re-installing it. Your data won’t be affected.

Use https://anystyle.io to parse formatted references.

What is a Foundation?

Thanks for raising these issues! Do you have a link to the Catalan APA 7 guidelines you’re referencing?
-
As we have said a few times, Zotero cannot do the exact requirements APA asks for. The format I suggest is extremely widely used in journals and theses—indeed I have encountered many professors and copy editors who actually think this format is co…

1. This is done when possible, but sentence casing cannot be fully automatic because proper nouns need to be capitalized. You should always store data in sentence case and check the item at import time to be sure things are capitalized correctly. Yo…
-
I wouldn’t be surprised if your committee didn’t notice at all. If they do insist, you can use the format I suggest above and then manually change the first citation as a final editing step at the end of your writing process.
-
You should enter the item you show above as a Report. Make “ACA” the author and “American Counseling Association” the Institution. That won’t follow APA’s rules exactly, but it is clearly understandable and concise. I’ve done that when submitting to…
-
You can add an editor to a report by putting it in Extra like this: Editor: Last || First A. Editor: Last || First B. Those will show up in citations and be migrated to proper fields when they are added
-
That style requires that you have citation keys defined for all of your items in Extra like this: Citation key: Abc123 The easiest way to have that data entered is to pin the keys using BetterBibTeX
-
Are you sure that you’re not using American Sociological Association (ASA)? APA 7th edition ships by default with Zotero, not APA 6th. In the default styles list, American Sociological Association (ASA) 6th edition is right above APA and is sometim…
-
I would use this reference in APA 7: Corporation for Digital Scholarship. (2023). Zotero (6.0.26) [Software]. https://www.zotero.org/ (Original work published 2006) With the corporate author entered as the author, “6.0.26” entered as the version, “…
-
After you merge items, the merged item will remain a part of each collection the original items were part of. After merging, you can see the total number of de-duplicated items in the top My Library (or Group library) view (the one with the brown bo…

Here are submission guidelines https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md In particular, be sure to look at the repository requirements for formatting of the style title, filename, etc https://github.com/citati…
-
This is controlled by the citation style. What style are you using?
-
In APA, adding letters for disambiguation is only used when the whole author team is the same. When the author teams differ, additional names are shown instead. This is because different author teams will be ordered differently in the bibliography a…
-
I suggest treating these as 2 separate citations and making “ (quoting “ the prefix and “ (plurality opinion))“ the suffix of the second.
-
Just to note and be clear, the format you are trying to achieve is not APA style. If you are looking for APA style for your thesis, the CSL style in the repository is correct. If you’re department requires the format you ask for, that’s a deviation …
-
I maintain the APA styles. I keep APA 7 and its variants updated, but I don’t actively work on APA 6 or its variants because APA 6 is no longer widely used (APA 7 was released over 5 years ago). There is a Turkish-specific version of APA 6. I do n…
-
Personally, I recommend just keeping the proper Greek characters in your title rather than replacing with LaTeX code and using a TeX compiler that can handle unicode characters, like XeTeX or LuaLaTeX
-
In that style, find the “container” macro near the top of the style, in the “else” section of that macro, delete the line that refers to “collection-title”. Then, change the style title and ID at the top of the style, save, and install into Zotero…
-
I would use what the translator returns for each of them
-
Inclusion in citations/bibliographies requires keys to be valid CSL variables
-
The CSL variables you are looking for are “edition” and “original-date”. If you search for those and delete them similar to what you have done for collection-title and DOI, you should be fine

Translators can sometimes run into issues when sites change their structure, and SpringerLink is particularly prone to these types of changes. Can you please submit an error report ID from the Zotero connector after a failure to save? https://www.…
