This is a good reason to add a "progress/waiting" popup in Zotero, since it is not generally that clear when an operation has finished if it takes a long time. (I don't disagree about keeping the focus as-is, but the progress notification would help…

One option would be just deleting one of the duplicates. The advantage to merging is that it will remain backwards compatible with any times you have cited either version in any papers. But if you are confident you haven't cited these (e.g., you jus…

Use the prefix (or suffix) fields to add additional information as needed. If "Dr DB Simmons, 1880" is part of your library, add that first, then in the same cite also add Cosgrove 1909 with the prefix "cited in". If "Simmons" is NOT an entry in yo…

Maybe I am still not understanding, but the problem is that if you do this after Zotero generates the citation, then refreshing Zotero will erase all of those changes. There's no way for it to "remember" which fields you switched to the other format…

(If this is just some individual PDFs, are you certain you can search them in another program? Sometimes OCRed PDFs become corrupted if you modify them using certain programs such as using highlighting in OSX's Preview app. If that happens they appe…

Why not add them as prefixes or suffixes? Most styles aren't going to be designed to handle these exceptions anyway, so there's no benefit to avoiding writing it out like that. But you can add some information other than page by clicking on the ref…

https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/327487 It's just a reminder that you'll need to refresh your citations when your paper is done, when you have the new faster-citations feature enabled (which doesn't update the bibliography every time you…

Does it have a DOI? I believe that at least in some styles, a DOI will be used instead of another URL. (You probably don't need both.) Alternatively, check in Zotero settings under "Cite" to see that "Include URLs of paper articles in references" i…

(If it works again then stops working again, I'd suspect that Word may be resetting every week or so, since you mentioned contacting the IT department, if these are company/university/etc. computers with restrictions on installations. If this is you…

Quick update: I wasn't sure how compatible this was with different versions of Word, but now for personal reasons I've had to try this with other setups, and it seems to be generally compatible. Confirmed with Word 2010 for Windows, and also Word 36…

@reza_n: that's not going to update properly when you refresh Zotero or edit the field. You can convert the text like that, but it is much better to have some way to associate it with the cite rather than just clicking it every time you want to conv…

Yes, I think there are plans to make those fields available for more item types. (There are various discussions here. I think I remember one about how Swedish PhD dissertations are usually given ISBNs, for example.) I don't know that making the dis…

As I said, you should be using Presentation as the type for that video, not Video recording. In this case, the video is like a photocopy of a journal article, in which case you would still cite as a journal article, not as a "photocopy".

1. Almost all styles treat different types differently, with different formatting. Even if two different types have publication years, for example, they might go in different places. Or a simpler example is that for books the title would be italiciz…

I've found that I can add the add/edit citation macro to the 'quick access toolbar' so it's always visible (the others aren't used often enough that I can't navigate to them as needed). That seems reasonable, unless there are other suggestions!
-
The question has been asked many times in the forums (search for "hyperlink" and you'll find various discussions), and many people want it, but it's technically difficult to add given the way that Zotero integrates with MS Word. One option to do thi…

There's a relatively quick workaround: 1. Go to "Unfiled items". If you have any items in there, move them into a new temporary collection. (You can remove this at the end.) 2. Delete the collection you don't want, but not the items. 3. Go to "Unfil…

The "prefix" and "suffix" option to add text before/after the default information in the cite.

Just commenting that I'm adding one at the moment, and the metadata automatically imported from the DOI is substantially wrong: item type is book section, with author as author and book-author, book title is the subject area. Otherwise I can just ad…

Assuming you're using the "manuscript" item type, the "type" field is convenient for adding additional details as needed. You can specify for example "Unpublished manuscript", but you can also add information like where it is located or how to obtai…

It's been working for a while, but just now I happened to notice that shift+cmd+C copied the cite rather than bibliography, so I enabled debug output logging: D158514683 That's simply pressing shift+cmd+C, then shift+cmd+A, then shift+cmd+C and get…

Since you haven't had an answer in a year, I'll comment. I don't know the technical answer, and I don't work with Zotero. But: 1. Usually an exact 4GB limit specifically is a hard filesystem limit (e.g. FAT32 drives cannot have files over 4GB, but …

I believe this might happen if you are working within a search, where the item is part of your search results, but the note itself is not. If that is the problem, then just exit the search while doing this. If not, my comment is irrelevant, but you …

This is a great idea, because it would be clearer and more convenient than the list of mostly old false positives in the "duplicates" screen.

The video hosted online is like a photocopy or uploaded PDF of a print article. Cite it as the URL, but otherwise cite the content as the content. Your last example is correct. Arguably the first is also, but not the most meaningful way to cite this…

Yes and if you want, it would be relatively easy to make a custom version of APA that also, for example, sorts all of the "Instant Message" type items to the beginning/end of the bibliography for easy deletion. (Search the forums for "sort by item t…

Just some thoughts: 1. In a custom style, wouldn't it be technically possible to omit all information for a certain item type in the bibliography entry? That is, don't display author; don't display title; don't display year, etc., etc., so that the…

I think this has increased recently with the last few updates. It often seems to default to copying the citation rather than the bibliography when I press shift+cmd+C. It also no longer seems to alternate as described above. It does sometimes still …

OK, that works! Thanks.
