Having conference proceedings as a special item seems somewhat bizarre to me. If they have ISSNs and repeat each year, cite like journals. Otherwise (or in general if you wish), cite like a chapter in an edited volume. Although that distinction migh…

This is a good question, one I've had too. Zotero actually has two different entries for conference papers: (1) 'Presentation' should be used for the talk (or poster, etc.) itself, and then the conference name is important; and (2) 'Conference pape…

The "Pages" field in Zotero is to identify the article, so it should be the full page range from the first page of the article to the end. Do not use only the specific page number you plan to cite here! You can then use the same entry to cite the sa…

If it's clear enough, I sometimes cite these as, e.g., volume 4, issue[s] 2-3, pages 100-110, 200-210. But that only works out clearly/unambiguously if the pagination is continuous over the multiple issues-- so this often works for multiple issues b…

OK, I will keep an eye out for it and try to submit something if possible.

@bwiernik thanks for the confirmation I'm not imagining things! In fact, in this case I did restart Zotero [but not my computer] when it was originally behaving strangely, and it continued to do so until I selected multiple items and somehow managed…

@dstillman, did you see my just-discovered edit? Try that again with the weird complication. If it still doesn't work, yes I'll provide the debug info. -- Edit: Huh! I just tried again to log the debug, and now it seems to be working. I swear it …

@gi_z, your request is another vote of support for the very long discussion here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5282/multiple-in-text-citation-patterns I've made an awkward Word macro to add that functionality (linked from that discussion) if…

Thanks. But this doesn't quite do it. If there was a setting to have all notes as plain text (I have absolutely no need for rich text), that would be the best option. I understand. I was telling you that when I recently asked essentially the same q…

Not exactly: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73674/easy-export-of-notes-drag-and-drop Or convert them to plain text before exporting?Yes, I'd look into this. See what you can do with your text editor and "Save as..." functions, or copying and p…

Aside from difficulty in finding them, once you recognize duplicates that actually are duplicates, why not just merge the items rather than manually marking them as duplicates? Regarding TRR and Sage, my guess is that Sage is now using their own pr…
-
I understand. However, do note that (2) will give false negatives for duplicates, so it also isn't a unique identifier that can always reliably determine duplicates. This is something that might be important for someone who for example searches mult…

DOIs are not truly unique identifiers: 1. One-to-Many: Yes, sometimes multiple items are included under the same general DOI (as bwiernik explained). 2. Many-to-One: Different websites give the same article different DOIs that point to their servers…

@adamsmith thank you! As far as I can call that corrects the problem without introducing any new ones. I've checked it with a reasonable number of common formats.
-
@bwiernik no argument from me! But this is an existing style that would have to be entirely rewritten to eliminate the hierarchical structure. (Chicago, for example, is similar, but a flat structure in the final layout, which is much easier to deal …

It seems that this can be fixed by adding a space within the 'locator's macro. Find: ....... And simply add prefix=" " to the tag in last line there. I'm not certain this works perfectly in all cases, but it seems to work from w…

@dstillman, thanks. I solved my immediate problem by exporting as a CSV (with notes), cleaning up the format (both removing many columns, and also then removing HTML codes from the notes, etc.), and then running my own script to save multiple files …

Unfortunately that wouldn't work for what I'm doing. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'd like to save each of them individually to a different location. (Specifics: I have a unique folder for each of my references, and I'm currently "retiring" a…
-
FWIW, placing a period after URLs is a horrible idea that should not be the default of any citation style. There's no need to always end everything with a period (just an old habit), and by adding one there's a very good chance it will be misparsed …
-
That's useful, thank you. (It would be really interesting to see this as as something that could also feed into Zotero so you could track cite totals, but this is fine for now.)
-
Thanks. I was just wondering, although I understand why this would be difficult. It would be convenient to use if it was implemented, but I wouldn't think it needs to be a priority to add. That's true about tracking usage. Still, tracking insertion…

Thank you for correcting me, bwiernik. I use Word for Mac. I will remove what I wrote above to avoid confusion. I'm not sure what the issue is then for LibreOffice that the OP was asking about!

It is sort of buried in there. I only recently discovered it myself, after doing exactly what you describe and re-inserting authors many times before.

Click the "Author" (or "Editor", etc.) role dropdown and choose "move down/up".

Make a new document, and set a style, citing one reference at the top. Copy and paste your entire old document, into the new document (except the bibliography). (You can also remove the single cite you added in the new document unless you're sure it…

I just did this recently: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/73007/cleanup-names-of-creators-publishers-cities-etc The options are somewhat limited for some fields, but almost everything will export as a CSV file you can open in Excel and then so…

Beware that will prevent Zotero from updating them if you have any changes to the entries in Zotero though! But that's no worse than your approach in 2012, if you were just typing the names out then anyway. (A more flexible solution requires somet…
