You can add an original publication date to the Extra field like this: Original date: 2001-06-18 That will be picked up and cited by styles that support it (eg, APA, Chicago)
-
You likely have automatic updating of citations disabled (you may have seen a popup asking to disable it after Zotero took a long time to do an update). This is often the case if your document has many citations in it. Try clicking the Refresh but…

Escaping with “\” is the correct way to force a hyphen to be treated as a character, rather than a range delimiter. Think of it is as text markup, not changing how the number is written. @adamsmith I think CSL number would rarely be used as a rang…

The Chicago style already does this. You definitely should not be editing the data each time. It sounds like you’re not using the word processor plugin? https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage

You could edit the style to change this line to sort descending, but note that it produces some bizarre behavior across item types that display different date parts or when date parts are missing for some items. This might not matter for your case d…

See the discussion here: https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/6887#issuecomment-1936543558 When sorting, “nothing” comes before “anything”, so, for dates, items without month/day information come before items that do have month/da…

For example: title: Test validity container-title: APA handbook of testing and assessment in psychology volume: 1 volume-title: Test theory and testing and assessment in industrial and organizational psychology collection-title: APA handbooks of ps…

You can insert the bibliography wherever you want in a document by placing the cursor where you want the bibliography, then clicking the Add/Edit Bibliography document in the Zotero tab in Word. You can add content after the bibliography without iss…

If it’s a date that you would expect to show up in the citation, use original-date. available-date is primarily used in legal citations of treaties (the date the treaty is available for signing). You could use available-date for something like the d…

Timestamp and scene are different terms
-
Yes, APA style only adds letters after the year if the author sets are identical
-
It goes in the “Loc. in Archive” field
-
Translation is a very computationally intensive task—I would doubt that such a plugin would ever be possible.
-
@adamsmith For ease of use, we should probably maintain a set of mappings like the old plugin produced based on the JSON. It’s difficult to follow what fields for a specific item type are mapped to when the information is split into several sections
-
A PDF could be many different types of bibliographic items. You need to create a parent item for the PDF by retrieving metadata or right clicking and choosing Create Parent Item. See https://www.zotero.org/support/retrieve_pdf_metadata Feel free to…

For BetterBibTeX issues, please open an issue on the BetterBibTeX GitHub page

Tags, especially colored tags (which you can assign by typing a number key on your keyboard) are a great way to accomplish what you’re looking for
-
If you have a lot of citations in your document, it can take a minute for the citations to refresh, especially if you are using Word on a Mac
-
You should update to Zotero 7 on your computers
-
For the PS, you should store institutional author names in single-field mode (click the two-boxes icon to the right of the name to change modes)
-
Adding new fields to existing types is planned, but it’s rolling out slowly. You can add any of these identifiers to the Extra field like this: DOI: 10.1234/567890 When the proper fields are added to these items, the data from Extra will be migrat…

Zotero 6 is still functional for things like syncing, but the developers and volunteers on this forum aren’t likely to be able to provide troubleshooting support for Zotero 6 any longer. Eventually syncing and other services on Zotero 6 will stop wo…
-
What font are you using? Many fonts don’t have good support for accented characters and so Wors will substitute an alternative font (for text in general, not just Zotero citations).
-
Just to be sure — if you are transferring your own library from one computer to another, do not use export/import. Instead, see https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_library
-
(2) doesn’t really make sense the way you’re describing it. Any item that is synced as a stored attachment should be available the same way. Are you able to view the items that are automatically added on the web library on Zotero.org?
-
What exactly do you mean?
-
I can look into it, but I would recommend against using shortDOIs at this point. They are not well-supported by the DOI ecosystem.
-
Use this style https://www.zotero.org/styles/deutsche-gesellschaft-fur-psychologie

Enter these as Forum Post. Put the username in [brakcets] in the first name field.

How are you expecting that information to be formatted? It’s not clear to me that it should be included at all in APA. You can enter the text in Extra like this to include it in parentheses in the same place that APA would put retraction or other …
