Which style are you using?
-
Since you've been involved in software design, then perhaps you'll also appreciate specifications that are poorly specified and that change. The RIS spec is still completely silent on how to format locators to attachments. And we can't even use En…

Yes. It is in the PDF folder. Sorry for the typo.

Here's what the present version of EndNote on Windows exports (it seems to do what Mendeley does, but what we do not do):EndNote/ EndNote/EndNote Library.Data EndNote/EndNote Library.Data/PDF EndNote/EndNote Library.Data/PDF/file.pdf EndNote/EndNote…

If Endnote expects internal-pdf:// to start inside Endnote.Data, why would the name of that folder matterYes, Endnote expects the files in, e.g. Export.Data. But Zotero doesn't actually copy files to Export.Data. I suspect this is correct:$ find Me…
-
Endnote actually starts the relative link from inside the .Data folder, so what we do would seem to be correct.But we don't even make the .Data folder.
-
- We can add the absolute link in the export with files unchecked. We used to do this in bibtex -- are we still?We are doing this still, yes. This solution would, at least, be consistent. The particular setting checkbox is not particularly intuitiv…

W.R.T. Endnote XML, Mendeley copies the pdf to [ExportFileName].Data/PDF/file.pdf and exports: <pdf-urls> <url>internal-pdf://file.pdf</url> </pdf-urls>Zotero copies th…

It is hard to make everyone happy. Would it be too perverse to include a shell script/batch file in the exported directory to change these local links to full file URIs?
-
The account's been open for a few years; I'm going to assume good faith on their part and chalk up the vitriol to frustration. In the RIS it exports, Mendeley uses file URIs to point to PDFs:L1 - file:///tmp/Mendeley/file.pdfPRO: should be importa…
-
You'll need to consult Mendeley's support resources, as this appears to be an issue with their exporters: The RIS file that you give doesn't include tags for Zotero to import. The BibTeX file erroneously uses TeX-entities in the file link (no oth…

Sometimes site translators add redundant number of pagesYes. And some of this comes in the RIS/bibtex/whatever emitted by the publisher. At least in some cases, it is debatable if there's a bug anywhere or what zotero should be doing. This info is …

Yes. If you properly setup syncing preferences, your client should retrieve your references. Have you walked through: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/changes_not_syncing
-
Your account information is presumably the same as you used to login to the forums....
-
It could also be that the file you'vemade isn't quite right. Have you tried importing a known good bibtex/ris record? Inspect the file you've made in a text editor. Share a record or two from the file if you think they should import.
-
It can take a while for a complete sync of large libraries. If you made a backup, restore it. It'll be faster. Have you enabled syncing and logged in in the zotero extension? Do you get any messages regarding the sync attempt?
-
How is that conditional used in practice? What happens for roman numeral pages or for non consecutive pages (e.g. '1,10-11')? I'm not aware of data sources that erroneously add leading zeros. They likely exist, but I suspect we should keep them as…
-
Zotero can't read arbitrary JSON. Many people that go from Excel to Zotero have used BibTeX a an intermediate format. E.g. https://www.academia.edu/1747759/From_spreadsheet_Excel_to_.bib_file_-_a_simple_solution

Please start a new thread if you have additional questions/comments, mabrey.duff. But, tersely: No. There are people who specialize in (fee-based) institutional training. If you're at an academic institution, you might see if your library or simila…

Let's address the machine where you had zotero working first. Start here: https://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_problems#reporting_startup_errors
-
It'd take some minimal amount of work, but it's probably worth doing sometime: https://github.com/retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex/blob/master/resource/translators/latex_unicode_mapping.coffee
-
No; Group syncing is via the zotero server only. The Zotero server relies on amazon s3.
-
It is not embedded in a standard format. You can request that they include this info. It is trivial https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata#using_an_open_standard_for_exposing_metadata It is likely possible to make a site translator f…

There is no site translator for NASA GRC and the examples you show are just web pages with little consistent metadata. Saving a Web snapshot is as good as we're likely able to do. How Stuff Works also has no site-specific translator. But it does ha…
-
Can you provide a couple of specific URLs to pages within sites that you find problematic & describe what happens vs. what you'd expect to happen?
-
That reference lacks page numbers when imported into Zotero. If you added the relevant information (3723), Zotero should cite this as expected. If there are no page numbers, Zotero errs on helping the reader locate a resource by including the URL (…
-
Thanks. The relevant code in Zotero is: https://github.com/zotero/zotero/blob/master/chrome/content/zotero/recognizePDF.js Zotero looks in the first 15 pages for a DOI. Failing that, it looks in the first 15 pages for an ISBN. Failing this, it the…
-
Attachments are not shared in public groups. You can link to the papers instead.
-
That seems likely to be the correct diagnosis: The ISBN is given in the report. This particular item is a report, which I would not expect successful retrieval of. I don't know how much worse a "false positive" like this is vs. just not finding dat…

(ORCID->Zotero) ... For example, it's fairly trivial to get a bibtex formatted citation from a DOIZotero already retrieves bibliographic information from CrossRef for any webpage that lists dois. Naturally, some ORCID references lack this. CrossR…
