jah98: For which library? There are many different catalog systems & they have different translators.
-
I think (the already existing) tagging is already good for this--it is trivial to put give a bunch of articles the "Disease Y" tag & to give a different bunch of articles the "Aspirin" tag & to then look at which articles have both tags. …

Word has separate keyboard entry enhancements. The regional keyboard should apply to all windows programs that support those characters. If you've installed multiple keyboard layouts, they will be application-specific. You can use the languag…
-
There isn't automated duplicate detection yet. This is planned. You can manually select multiple records & delete them.
-
Import (especially of so many entries) can still take a while. It is probably still trying to import when you kill the process. If you're low on patience and/or don't believe that it is actually still performing the import, the best work-around mi…
-
Again, this isn't really a Zotero question. You can either copy/paste individual characters from the character map or can change keyboard layouts. Assuming you're using a U.S.-style keyboard & want to use shortcuts to create accented chara…

Sorry--you're right. I just missed the drag-drop instructions. If site-specific settings only apply to one Quick Copy method, it'd be nice if it said as much. But it'd be nice to have some keyboard shortcut that obeyed site-specific settings.…
-
Zotero has Unicode support that just works--You should be able to add these UTF-8 characters in the same manner as you add them to other programs. You can copy/paste them or can use any virtual keyboard/character map/shortcuts that your operating s…

There are plans to create a Zotero server, but none is out yet. Last I heard, the plans were for early fall. Until then, there are numerous work arounds. You can, of course, import/export. You can also use a shared database file (but only on…
-
Some MediaWiki sites (including Wikipedia) do have an OAI-MPH repository interface. Perhaps this could be used to retrieve citation metadata (as it is for arXiv, etc.)? The caveat is that the interface isn't public--it requires authentication. Bu…
-
I'd like to tweak cmagic's request & ask that pages which have this kind of bibliographic format inclusion be auto-detected (as with COinS, etc.).
-
People have asked about going the other way (FMP -> Zotero) & the answer is similar. Citation metadata in Zotero is stored in a SQLite database, not a flat file. The problem in writing a converter from/to FMP (or any other database) is …
-
If you want to use unAPI+MODS, the first step should probably be to make a MODS XML exporter. Read about the spec at the mods site I linked & test manually importing MODS into Zotero.
-
Thanks to Matthias for pointing that out! FYI: Zotero does plan an ISI importer:
-
Per comparison of reference management software on Wikipedia, ProCite can export RIS (which Zotero can import)
-
First: OO.o already plans to improve their bibliographic tool. Zotero's data model is richer than the biblio database in OO.o. Since OO.o plans improvements, it probably isn't worth changing Zotero to suit a poor model which has planned improvemen…
-
Or does your vision expand beyond the client--e.g., would you want to see URIs on our server for references?This would certainly be useful for resources that don't have a publicly accessible URI. Given the number of unique identifiers (URL, DOI, PM…
-
Barring ISI modifying their server or Zotero being modified to catch the filename/mimetype WoS spits out, the work around is to save the file & manually import it.
-
I won't speak for the Zotero devs, but I believe that the best way is for you to adopt unAPI and MODS XML. This is s fairly straight-forward, open protocol & won't require specialized translators, will work with non-Zotero clients, etc. I beli…

"We really need an easy-to-use web-based previewer and tester, though." Wouldn't a Firefox extension be the nicest way to implement such a tool?CSL is used outside of Zotero (and will hopefully be adopted more). A web-based tool would not only cat…
-
Thanks for your interest & your willingness to customize styles. This has been talked about before:
-
Matthias updated the refbase MODS exporter to ouput: http://some/url/to_a_file.pdf

Nearly any drive will work. Portable Firefox + Zotero and no data or anything else is 25 MB. Size of reference metadata + PDFs + page snapshots can vary wildly. 1 GB is a reasonable estimate (perhaps 200 references a year for ~5 years & t…
-
Zotero works with publisher sites such as Blackwell Synergy, Elsevier ScienceDirect, Phys. Rev., etc.
-
I did play a bit with the reporting code (just to push a few fields to refbase automatically--nothing big). There are others who talked about playing with it in the zotero-dev group who have passed the whole objectReference. Eventually, I'd like t…
-
I use the excellent zotero quick-copy feature to export data & paste it into the import box of refbase. I keep few notes & collect mostly journal articles, so this works relatively well. Refbase has unAPI support, so zotero can import from…
-
I won't speak for the Zotero developers, but I think that unAPI+MODS XML is extremely useful. MODS XML is supported by the Library of Congress so, while it isn't a perfect format, there are A LOT of records in it & it is better than most altern…
-
Your inquiry applies to other RSS readers and webmail as well. The site scraper needs predictable formatting & there are many different formats for RSS and email journal alerts (and different feed readers/webmail render pages differently, m…
-
unAPI support is now in 1.0.0b4.r2 & so it can be implemented to make sites compatible with Zotero. unAPI retains more metadata than COinS & uses standard bibliographic export formats that may be useful to people who don't use Zotero, b…

Zotero only works within Firefox, but Firefox does work without an internet connection. Because of this, you can still use Zotero (within Firefox) to add/delete notes when you have no internet connection. (There's no reason to use Endnote ins…
