It sounds like you haven't lost anything, but that some items have not synced? Please refer to: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/changes_not_syncing
-
This has nothing to do with COinS. The main issue is that the returned response is MARC XML embedded in an OAI-PMH response. We can't process that yet. Zotero's translators cannot currently strip the various response junk to get just the MARC data.…

You can run without syncing and without groups, of course. If it is OK to sync metadata via outside networks without syncing files, you can use Zotero's syncing. Groups would not have file syncing; you could, optionally, sync individual account fil…

I am not sure what is meant by "zotero has translators for done sites"."done" should have been "some" if I'd have checked what I typed on my phone. I'm still on my phone so can't checkthe sites in depth immediately. I didn't see download links for c…

The last three posts are from Feb of this year. There is sporadic discussion in other threads, but that is a relatively good snapshot of the issue. It is something people generally agree could be improved, but that may not be prioritized and certain…

No changes. Some people use a macro in WoRd to create links: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/12431/word-possibility-to-link-references-and-bibliography-in-a-document/

Not at this time. You can read a thorough discussion of these issues at https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/28929/right-column-looks-awful/ In training, you should emphasize the use of using translators over manual entry. Fields are also vaguely …

The database won't "spontaneously disintegrate". But that's not to say that backups aren't a good idea: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#backing_up_your_zotero_library

FWIW: other software trusts the XMP data & there are well-curated pdfs out there. Calibre ships with ebook-convert, which could convert epub to a text file. There's likely others. No idea of which attachment formats we should be supporting (djv…

This issue has been brought up before for this and various other formats. A couple points:Many formats have tools that allow the plane text to be dumped in a similar way that we use the xpdf/poppler pdftotext program & so our current method of g…

Oh yes, I've had issues with sync before, which is why I now only store my database locally.These should be fixed if they are still issues. Backup and sync are really two different things. Backing up a closed sqlite file (ideally, storing versioned…

The Zotero sync server will freely sync *all* of the important data in the sqlite file (the only data caps/subscription costs incur for attached files, which you can sync using a third-party WebDAV server or other tool). Have you had specific issues…

@adamsmith: My comments on figshare refer specifically to the embedded metadata translator.

There are long-term plans to add DOIs to all types: https://github.com/avram/zotero-bits/issues/1 When I imported it using embedded metadata it came in as a journal article with DOI intact, but it's not a journal article.Embedded metadata is pretty …

Both given name disambiguation and et-al behavior are specific to styles, so yes: you need to customize a CSL file to your tastes. See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation and https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3879/stupid-…

You can't using stock zotero. You can try to usr the functionality that is in juris m: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/35987/import-old-zotero-bibliography-from-word-field-codes-still-present-into-library/

There's been an open ticket for this, but I don't think the functionality has been addressed yet. https://github.com/zotero/dataserver/issues/4

Various work-arounds are listed in: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6019/finding-unindexed-items/

The author information is missing from the RIS that is generated. The publisher would probably want to fix this issue, as it'll impact the users for many reference managers. EDIT: a work-around may be difficult, as it is missing from all of the exp…

The file 'BibTeX.js' is in the translators directory: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators/coding#export_translators What fields do you plan to add? You may also want to look at the Better BibTeX extension: https://github.com/retorquere/…

This style is dependent on: http://www.zotero.org/styles/springer-basic-brackets You'd want to create a new style from that independent parent style and edit it to suit your tastes.

All of the references should import into a collection with the import date/time. Why not select all of the references in one of the two collections, move them to the trash, and empty the trash?

Also make sure you are using the default Firefox theme. 3rd party themes are the most usual reason for the problems you're having. https://www.zotero.org/support/known_issues

What was the one reference you meant to add and how did you add it?

In your library or in a group library? If in your library, the most likely explanations are either:They were added by someone other than you on a shared machineThey were added by you, but perhaps not intentionally (either because you imported the wr…

It looks like the regex for the fachportal translator should be expanded to include pedocs, but this still won't fix (1). It would seemingly fix (2), as the problem seems to happen due to the COinS translator being used on pedocs.de. See: http://w…

All of the numeric styles should do this. Are you using the word processor plugin? https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_installation

Did you check the permissions of the data directory and everything in it as well as the installation directory and everything in in that? If you've run as a superuser, that could've created files that your regular account can't access. Also note you…
