Great context! Thanks again @adamsmith! And your policy "for most cases" seems to align with the APA's 7th ed. recommends "Provid[ing] the name of the group that released the press release as the author" (https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guid…

Thanks @adamsmith! Re: 1 ...person(s) Suppose I know the name of the ghostwriter, but the institution doesn't report it on the press release. A. Is it bad form to put that ghostwriter's name in the author field? B. If so, is it bad form to make th…

What do you put in the "Author" field for press releases? Some options that occur to me at the moment. 1. The Institution. (Objection: That would be in "Website Title" instead.) 2. The people who wrote the press release. (Objection: that is often un…

After updating to Big Sur, I had to (a) reinstall Zotero beta (b) check the box for Zotero extension in Safari (Safari > Preferences > Extensions > see left sidebar)
-
In case others are having trouble after the 10.15.4 update: - When I opened Zotero beta today, it installed updates and then the Safari Zotero extension no longer worked (in Safari 13.1)—it intermittently appeared in my extension bar for millisecon…

Confirmed: This has been fixed in 5.0.26. Thanks Zotero et al!

I see. Thanks AdamSmith.

I see. The last instance I ran into was what you describe: a pre-print of a published article: http://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=2701902

Aside: I wish Zotero correctly discerned the difference between working papers and published journal articles on repositories like SSRN. It's a little annoying to have to relabel pretty much every SSRN item that I add to Zotero. (Thanks for humoring…

This seems to have been fixed: I can now add items to Zotero in Safari when Zotero is not open. Things that have changed on my end since posting this: - OS update: I'm now running macOS 10.12 - Safari update: I'm now running Safari 10.0 Things th…

Thanks Dan! Glad I asked. I've set up the folders and deleted stuff. I did it in batches — first PDF attachments, then snapshots, then pubmed entries, etc. Now 8800+ entries takes up just a few megabytes! I wish you well!
-
Update: - I changed my data directory to webDAV. Problem persists. - I tried authenticating as directed. It didn't work. Report ID:378522600 Thanks
-
The former solution is what I've been doing. The latter solution: the citation styles I use are Chicago and APA.

Good question. Having my Zotero entries in a local folder that syncs to cloud storage just increases the amount of places I have my data. My PDFs are also in this cloud storage. I manage them manually in order to have more fine-grained control…

Now I just need to figure out how to delete snapshot info from my library.
-
Adam Smith's recommendation was successful in deleting all attached PDFs (NB: it did not delete any entries to which PDFs were attached). It seems to have cleared up about 750mb, which gives me a bit more cloud storage for other things, so thanks!
-
Agreed!

Right, but the only way to select one (as opposed to both) from the duplicate page in order to edit its metadata is to send them both to the trash and return only one. I now realize that this can be done from the main library page. Sorry for the red…

ahannides: a work around 1. Send both "duplicates" to trash 2. Return one to the library, change something about it to distinguish it. 3. Go find the other in the trash and return it to library. It should not not be considered a duplicate. …
