  • The problem with using "Report" type for preprints is that it does not keep the doi -- only if it is imported as a journal article does the doi get saved. Please add doi to the "Report" fields -- I find myself having to change to type "Journal Artic…
  • That works very well. Thank you!
  • sounds reasonable. Thanks! What style will give me a complete author list with full first and last names (or how do I tweak a style that lists all authors but abbreviates names)?
  • I'm looking for a way to create the author list for an NSF CoA form. I have a large number of papers with many authors. I need full names, not just last name and initials. At a minimum I need a style that lists all authors with full names in a bib…
  • No, "Document" won't work. It would lose the following critical fields: Publication, Journal Abbr, and most importantly, DOI.
  • During the COVID-19 pandemic, with an explosion of important information only available in PrePrints, the need for a specific Item type is now critical. Please, put this request on "warp speed" like everything else that is part of the pandemic respo…
  • Excellent -- reset translators (also did update translators in plugin) worked! Thanks for the specific pointer. Now back to dealing with politically motivated misinformation from WHO.
  • The only thing there that would possibly work is disabling all plugins. I don't have time for that now. Under deadlines to respond to the pandemic.
  • My plugin is the version 5.0.61, which appears to be the latest. But, it only recognizes that page as a generic webpage. However, this seems to be something specific to MMWR not all journal articles. So, for example, this one downloads correctly fro…
  • When using the Zotero plugin to copy a reference from PubMed into Zotero desktop (Mac) in the new version of PubMed, the reference is imported as a webpage and is missing most of the bibliographic information. Resulting in this: “Cluster of Severe …
  • Maybe now that I realize is is only the label... it won't bother me so much. But, it seems strange that it labels them differently depending on how I add the full text. I don't like feeling that I need to look and see that the label and the filename…
  • OK -- but when I drag a PDF onto an entry, Zotero gives it matching file name and label. In this instance I see that you are correct, it has renamed the file, but not the label. Why the different behavior -- is there a reason I should view this as a…
  • I should say I'm running Zotero 5.0.47 on a Macbook Pro OS 10.12.6 and Chrome browser 66.0.3359.139.
  • I am seeing the same issue: When I use the Zotero plugin in Chrome to capture a journal article, it pulls in the PDF if available, but it is given a default name "Full Text PDF" rather than renamed with the metadata. However, when I download the PDF…
  • Ah ha -- finally, another sync that only produced one pop-up to resolve and then the "!" is gone and Zotero is finally functional again.

  • Then, after a another minute or so, Zotero starts the process over again trying to sync.

  • Thanks for the pointer, yes, my sync is failing with a "!" to the left of the sync button (Standalone Mac). I'm getting a spinning beachball as the sync concludes with the error flag, and Zotero is not responding. So, I cannot get to an error messag…

  • I am repeatedly getting the message about tags, and am repeatedly asked to resolve differences between the local and remote data -- for the same records. This has now occurred 3x from my office computer. I use Zotero also from 2 other computers. …

  • Notes and tags transferred well, as did the PDF files. I used bibTex on a Mac.
  • Is there something in Zotero analogous to the way Mendeley allows one to click on the PMID or DOI of an entry that is incomplete and have the reference entry automatically updated (e.g. full and short journal names, abstract, etc.)?
  • Please note that among "Professions" Public Health is missing. Public Health is quite different from "Medicine" (I should know having doctorates in both). Other disciplines that should be considered (perhaps under applied sciences): * Epi…
  • Sorry: I was under deadline to file a "faculty activity report" with an updated syllabus for input to the Lyterati system the University just adopted and didn't have time to check back here. By now, I've manually merged the two items and cannot acce…
  • Thanks! Just to clarify on # 4 -- notes and tags will migrate, but PDF annotations will not?
  • Given that this thread is getting bit dated and ends with mention of some new methods on the horizon: 1. What is the current best practice for exporting from Mendeley to Zotero? 2. On a Mac is BibTex preferred over RIS? (and RIS on Windows?) 3. Is…
  • Here is an interesting example where Zotero is NOT identifying a duplicate: 1. Bolen AR, Henneberger PK, Liang X, Sama SR, Preusse PA, Rosiello RA, Milton DK. The validation of work-related self-reported asthma exacerbation. Occup Environ Med. 200…
  • Thanks for the update -- is that general mechanism on the to do list? I got the impression from reading the forum that it was not likely to be forthcoming in the foreseeable future.
  • I agree that one has to wonder about people who publish something with identical titles. He actually has a third with the same title in 1975 that, although the type = Book Chapter (the others are type = Journal Article), is also seen by Zotero as a …
  • It is not clear to me why Zotero seems to be relying only on title and author. The fact that the two below, in different journals and years are seen as the same is troubling. Is there some way I can correct this? Wyon DP. The effects of moderate …
  • Cool. And, you have it putting the extra space " " after the PMID too. Very nice!
