What are the contexts in which you are using Zotero on Windows vs Linux? This can be a tricky and fragile setup—I used to use Zotero in both the native system and a VM sharing the database, and it lead to frequent corruption.
-
What exactly is happening when you are using Zotero?
-
APA will add the disambiguation letters or additional author names as needed according to the manual. No need for manual modification.
-
I definitely agree ;-). If you want to add them for your own use, see here for an example with a numeric style: https://www.zotero.org/styles/apa-numeric-superscript?source=1 But if you are submitting to the journal, I'd suggest following their con…

If you need to manually edit citations, you should use the boxes in the Zotero Add/Edit Citation window to preserve automatic updating. The citation style should also automatically disambiguate when needed. What style are you using?
-
If the footnote contains any text besides the citation, it will stay in the footnote rather than move to in text. This yields consistently correct formatting (the extra text indicating that the footnote is really a footnote with expositive text, not…
-
Most numeric styles don't show page numbers in text at all. What are the journal guidelines for showing page numbers in text? To see how to add these to a style, take a look for example, at the American Psychological Association style. If the journ…

When not logged in, the UpToDate page doesn't provide any metadata for the review itself, only for the references cited. I don't have access to the database to see if it provides better metadata when logged in. So, I'm not sure that Zotero can impro…

I’m not quite following. Are you saying that some citations convert to in-text but others don’t?
-
I can't recommend PaperShip at this point. For now, I suggest working with the zotero.org web library or using the Zotfile plugin with desktop Zotero, depending on your exact needs. An official Zotero iOS app is in development.
-
Book Chapter = Book Section If by conference proceedings, you mean a paper published in a proceedings, that’s Conference Paper. If you mean the whole volume, use Book (and you can store event information to be cited in Extra—let me know if you need…

If you have a LaTeX document already, I suggest you use pandoc to convert from LaTeX to word automatically. https://medium.com/@zhelinchen91/how-to-convert-from-latex-to-ms-word-with-pandoc-f2045a762293 pandoc has its own citation processor that ca…

Last I checked, none of the other reference managers were working natively either, so I suggest you take a minute and answer the questions Dan asked above. This really will be an easy workaround if you try.
-
If you mean the text is filled with a bunch of code, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/word_field_codes This would likely be a non-default setting your colleague applied on their computer.
-
This generally just works. What do you mean by “unreadable”?
-
@cruzgalfredo dstillman is the lead developer of Zotero. I can promise you he knows what he is talking about. We are happy to help you, but please take a minute to collect yourself and respond calmly. https://www.zotero.org/support/forum_guideline…

Note that the saved HTML snapshots are available offline. They are local just the same way that PDFs are. I’d recommend using HTML—the web page is designed for layout in HTML, and automatic PDF conversion is often going to be very poor layout.
-
I would use Report for the congressional reports and Hearing for the hearings or their transcripts. Currently, the Hearing type is mapped to “bill”. A proper ‘hearing’ citation type is available in the new CSL version 1.0.2. You can change Zotero …
-
That’s not APA 7 at all. It looks like a variation on Chicago style. Check that you are selecting the correct style.
-
No, I don’t think that’s currently possible with Zotfile (I think you are the first person to ever request it)
-
How have you entered the date in Zotero (feel free to respond in Spanish)
-
I’m not following what you want to do. Can you give a real example, rather than placeholders?
-
It will be included in citations and will migrate to a prophet field automatically when one becomes available
-
What’s the url for the page?
-
You can add it in Extra like this DOI: 10.1234/56789
-
Thanks
-
It does work for me on Windows. Can you submit a Debug ID for a shift-drag operation that doesn’t remove from the collection? https://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output
-
Yes, it's a Word issue. Change the settings for the "Normal" style in Word to use Times New Roman, rather than changing the font manually (if you always work with Times, I suggest you adjust your default Normal template for Word accordingly). See …
-
This is controlled by the citation style. What style are you using? I’m not sure what you mean by “ how i use this at the start of the sentence”. Can you give an example ?
