Amazing! I'm not able to try it now —want to keep to stable release in the midst of writing— but really looking forward to trying this when it arrives.
-
I see. Hmm. The few times I've used the Locate button I did indeed notice that it constructs a fairly specific query — in fact, often too specific, leading it to miss hits on GS. This is partly a separate matter but I guess I would make a case for a…

Bump — this is still biting me, also in newest versions of Word. Are any of the steps 1-5 above automatable as part of the Word plugin, or are we out of options here?
-
As Zotero cannot guess how you have constructed the Excel sheet, and so does not know exactly what your Excel columns contain, this won't be a matter of simply importing. Have a look at the fields in a Zotero entry (Item Type, Title, Author [possib…

I like this idea, and it fits really well with existing functionality and user interface logic. It would have the perfect place in the "Locate" arrow right next to the search bar. Right now that arrow only does something when an item is selected, an…

Might also elevate the fact that earlier in the thread there is a user-contributed macro offering at least part of the requested functionality (in Word). Last I checked it, that worked.

Very much agree with this sentiment. Not sure how a link with ORCID would work. Note that it's already possible to use Zotero for creating (personal) publication lists for online academic CVs, e.g. using the wonderful ZotPress plugin in WordPress (t…

There is a "type" field for items of Item Type "thesis" (just below the abstract field). I am not sure whether BBT also preserves that field.

Unfortunately this is really an issue on the ResearchGate side. They do not properly and systematically provide metadata on their pages in one of the many recommended formats that Zotero supports. As long as they don't do that there is very little Z…

Excellent! I asked @kseaborn over on the ZotPress support forums. It's a special case because it's not a child of "collections" (otherwise we might be able to use "publications" as the hardcoded collection ID) so it likely requires some special work…

Probably best to post your question in the general ZotFile thread
-
"Disabling itself" is not really what this extension or any extension does; there may be another extension or process interfering with its functioning. Have you recently installed other extensions? Have you tried removing the Zotero Connector via M…

Oh my god. My sympathies for having to deal with that professor and cheers for taking it in light spirits. Just know you're lightyears ahead by using Zotero instead of spending your brain cycles on petty pedantries.
-
As a fellow Zotero user and occasional Zotero trainer I just want to abstract away from the supposed errors and want to note two simple principles about when and where to edit citations. @ConnellCNU, you describe your workflow as follows: (i) I do …

Hi all, good to see these updates. I think a split may be in order. I strongly suspect that John Benjamins may have several poorly disambiguated and similarly named variants of their stylesheet for collective volumes floating around. My original git…

Very happy with this, thank you. Solves a little papercut I see everyday.
-
Would be very happy with a hidden pref, thanks!
-
I agree that a plugin is unlikely, unfortunately, to provide much help. My hope and that of others, based on the initial blog post and the example shown by Mendeley, was that Zotero would be able to make available and document a public API which par…
-
For the record I'm also getting this from time to time. It is not clear at all what causes it though I had discovered by trial and error that restarting usually solves it. I first thought it could be a conflict with Zutilo (which I use for its Qui…
-
The main use case (and the reason I opened this thread) is on the altmetrics side: the promise to source anonymous usage data from Zotero to feed into alternative metrics of scholarly impact. Here's the 2015 (!) blog post describing the basic idea: …

Chuckling a bit about "a soon upcoming" version, since I saw my own remark on this (and adamsmith's reply) upthread from... 2011 :)
-
Your 2) was also requested here — really hope it can be implemented. This is especially useful for ebooks and longer articles, where we might want to get annotations while still adding new ones.
-
Bump for the issue raised in my last comment, which annoyingly persists. Also a new question: When reading a long book on Tablet I would like to extract annotations / update my extracted annotations periodically so that they don't exist just on the…
-
StandAlone notes are really just that, they stand alone. I wouldn't use them for a quotes database because it does not support the automatic filling in of metadata as you need. Since the fundamental currency in the Zotero universe is the publicatio…
-
I've migrated cloud storage and in the process lost my folder with Tablet files. No problem for me (they are all still in Zotero) but it confuses Zotfile, which started to generate loads of error message (one for every missing file). To try and fi…

This is very impressive!

Wondering same

For reference, since I started this thread 9 years ago: my library has grown quite consistently by about ~20 items a week in the intervening period, and I went over the 25Gb I paid for since 2010 only just recently (of course I've been on 'unlimited…

If you had PDFs attached to your Zotero entries, the storage folder would hold these. If you're facing the task of building a new library, you could start by getting all the PDFs out of the storage folder (search for *.pdf in the root and copy them …
