@damnation No, that’s not right. DGP/APA do not substitute collection-editor. @borderstep02 I don’t know why you want to label “BMU” as an editor here, rather than an author. That would be highly unusual. BMU here would be cited as an institutiona…

These are abbreviations in Ethiopian names. “G/“ is “Gebre” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebre “H/“ I believe is “Haile” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haile
-
Can you explain that last comment? If you have entered “BMU” as the author (be sure it is listed as the author and not “contributor”), it will certainly show up in the author position.
-
@hughp3 if you are doing legal citations, I definitely recommend you look into Jurism’s modular legal citation system. It will give much better results than regular CSL will.
-
Thanks that’s helpful. The first example makes sense. Supporting this type of citation would require some more sophisticated handling—if language data are entered in ISO codes, then the processor would need to be able to insert the actual language…
-
This feature is being worked on for a future version. For now, the fastest way is to copy the DOI to the Add by Identifier (magic wand) tool to make a new item, then merge the two items.
-
@hughp3 Full multilingual versions of all fields like that is outside the scope of CSL 1.0.2 and likely CSL 1.1. I suggest you check out Jurism, a version of Zotero with much expanded multilingual field support designed to produce those types of cit…

“Presentation” is for presentations at conferences and similar things. “Conference paper” is for papers formally published in a conference proceedings book or journal.

(Feel free to write in French if you prefer.)
-
Italics should mostly be a font issue—most typefaces should render italic and regular Chinese characters the same. Beyond that, separate formatting for different item languages would require the multilingual features in Jurism, a spin-off version …

De-select the field (don’t be typing in it) before you right click on it
-
Currently, the best field for this is “Series”. A “volume/issue title” field will likely be added in a future version.
-
See here for how to enter all of the items in the APA manual https://www.zotero.org/groups/2205533/test_items_library/collections/MR2N872S/item-list
-
Add it in the First name field [@username]
-
Can you give an example of that being used?
-
Place that in the Studio field.
-
If you don’t want the prefix to appear, enter the line numbers in the “suffix” field rather than the page/line field.
-
Enter “Video” in the Format field.
-
Don’t enter personal names in single-field mode. Always enter those in Last, First mode. Single-field mode will assume that the name is a group or organization.
-
You likely don’t have the names consistently entered in your library. Sometimes they are entered as J. and sometimes as John. Zotero doesn’t know that these are the same person and so expands the latter to the full name, per APA style.
-
No, you need to save the item to your library first, then insert using the Word plugin.
-
No. The best approach is to wait until you are done writing, then Unlink Citations and manually change these references.
-
There has been some discussion by developers in the past to more intelligently decide when to save snapshots. It would be nice if it happened at some point.
-
Select the items you want to put in this bibliography in Zotero, right click, and choose Create Bibliography from Items or just drag the items into Word.
-
What citation style are you using?
-
Reference Extractor linked above can do that.
-
Is this for a specific journal?
-
But also, those items don't need to be disambiguated. One is Leiter et al. 2011, the other is Leiter et al. 2012. APA 7th edition does not disambiguate between multiple author groups that are all abbreviated down to the same "et al" unless they are …

Can you create a Word document, upload it to Dropbox or similar, and link here? It's much easier to test things with Word than Google Docs.
-
That document isn't publicly editable.
