(But you can use the Extra field to manually add any additional information, such as ISBN: 97812345.... It won't be searchable/sortable in the normal way, but would be available for use in citations as needed.)
-
It depends on the type of page: if it's something like a Google search (automatically generated) and you just want to describe it's information, that would make sense. But if it's an official database of some sort with a publication year, but the co…

I agree that the obsession with some styles for adding access is unnecessary, and that in general the publication (etc.) date of the paper itself can imply when it was accessed, but there are two cases where it is important: 1. When the website is k…

when there is no publication date or status provided (i.e., when “n.d.” shows for the date). (The reasoning is that it's not possible to automatically know "when the the web page is expected to update regularly" so that's the best Zotero can offer.…

There's also a problematic feedback loop in scholarship, where often-cited papers are cited more and more. (This is especially the case for overview/background papers used to introduce a concept or method, where one just seems to become the go-to pa…

Sorry, you need to type a colon for that to work, not only numbers. (In some cases numbers alone will be added, but that's inconsistent. For example, if you type an author's name and numbers at the same time before selecting the item. Sometimes I ac…

If I'm understanding correctly, the problem is that you don't need to add a comma when inputting pages. (Note that the style selected will determine the formatting, including whether or not a comma is added in the citation. You don't need to type th…

The general solution is to use the ISBN and convert to a book chapter, which requires minimal manual changes (adding title, chapter author and pages). A more specific solution that works for some publishers is using the DOI for a chapter if availabl…

It should (I'm looking at some entries in my library like that right now). Did you leave a blank entry for 'Author' in addition to the editor? Otherwise I'm not sure what would cause that, but someone else will be able to help.
-
So "book" also covers "edited volume"? (that needs getting used to...) Correct. The information entered will determine the specific formatting (and based on the style you choose). Variants like authored books with an editor are also supported. The e…

Store chapters in an edited volume as "Book Section". Store the whole volume as "Book", maintaining the same information (moving "Book Title" to "Title" of course). The easiest way to do what you are asking is probably to duplicate an entry and then…

Add the following in the Extra field. It will work: DOI: 10.XXX/XXXXXX

Why not just sync? That way it can be available on the new computer, but also online anywhere you log in (without the need to install the program). For that or copying the files between computers: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/transferring_a_li…

There are two distinct style requirements from John Benjamins, for different book series. Just consider this a new request. Guidelines: https://benjamins.com/catalog/la ('guidelines', scroll down) Do you also want the standard Zotero reference ite…

@damnation Should I make a new request for the John Benjamins Linguistik Aktuell style? Or is that already in progress with this discussion. No rush, I just wasn't sure if I should do something else at this point.
-
(Could you possibly create an Automator app that could be selected as the single 'reader', but which would then open the requested file in two different programs? You'd have to figure out the details, but that could work, at least in principle, and …

@mark thank you for joining us and helping to clarify the situation. I agree with everything that you said. @damnation sorry for the confusion! Let's clarify: 1. As mark just pointed out, this should be split, because there are multiple distinct ed…

Wonderful, thank you for doing that so quickly! Here are the remaining or new changes I see: 2. No Oxford comma in lists of three or more names. Only & (not , &). 3. Journal article titles should not be made into Title Case. [My error above…
-
I did some testing of other formats to locate any inconsistencies. I just noticed these: 1. The "presented by" of conference presentations should be Sentence case if needed (if not preceded by a type; I assume that's what is happening). 2. All date…
-
I've inspected the differences, and here's a list of required changes: 1. Full first names instead of initials (for authors and editors). 2. Ampersand instead of 'and' for joining names; no oxford comma. 3. Journal article titles should not be made …
-
OK, thanks. (I also replied to the blog post announcing this style, in case that helps us understand whether it's meant to be the same or not.) Would it be appropriate to request someone more knowledgeable about CSL make these changes for me? I can…
-
It's taken me some time to return to this, but the current style is definitely not correct. It's broadly similar (e.g. ordering of elements) but inconsistent in many details. Here's a comparison: Their examples: Anderson, Bruce. 2002. The Fundamen…

Save the document before you initiate a long operation like that. If you want to stop it, just quit both Zotero and Word and start over. (If you quit Zotero first, you can also save the result from Word, but I'd save as a copy just in case you hadn'…

Oh, I see. Yes, having the option to untag as automatic notes could potentially be useful. Still, it means that most of the time we'd have to go through various clicks to remove them if we're doing it as we go rather than retroactively after many im…
-
Yes, (1) would be good. The problem with (2) is that it works under the assumption that some of those notes might be valuable enough to keep, but then would let you mass delete all of them including the minority you might want to keep. It would onl…
-
OK, that makes some sense, but (1) it's too inconsistent to be reliable (only a minority of items have such notes), and (2) why would the average user want to add that information to Zotero before deciding if they want to request it by ILL? (I say t…

Some older thoughts on this, if you want to try to do it semi-automatically: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/314779/#Comment_314779

Adding books by ISBN (I assume therefore via Worldcat?) often adds superfluous notes like "includes index/bibliography". Sometimes a full table of contents for edited volumes is included. At least for the former type, that is just meant for libraria…

It's a Thesis (at least in the English version of Zotero: I don't have a 'Dissertation' option, but that could work too). Then you can specify the type (e.g. "Bachelor's thesis") in the type field.
-
It sounds like that should work then. Do you mind showing us what the bibliographic entries end up looking like? That would eliminate some of the guessing here.
