My hope is that at some point the code will be mature enough to be folded into the Zotero Word plugin — @bwiernik is this likely?
-
Instead of manually applying your desired layout changes to the bibliography, modify the 'Bibliography' style. Since your bibliography is regenerated on every Zotero refresh, manual changes will be lost, but the style will be reapplied.
-
Would be extra lovely if you could tie this in with the Zotero toolbar, adding a button 'Merge selected citations'!
-
Just want to note this sounds very promising and is likely to solve by far the most common confusion for new users of Zotero, who tend to drag PDFs into the library and expect them to magically be citable.

FWIW, I second fbennett's UI wording observation
-
Like you, I have a lot of false duplicates (any sufficiently large library will). See Dan's post in this earlier thread — in brief, marking as non-duplicates is indeed non-trivial but planned (though the issue hasn't seen activity since Nov 2016); b…

Or: 3. The file already has the desired name with the exception of capitalisation differences. At least in older versions of Z (not sure whether this is still the case) this would lead to a silent fail on the rename operation.
-
I use the file name; you can also use tags and/or the text field that appears in the right pane when selecting the attachment.

To spell out adamsmiths comment, converting Zotero references to an EndNote-readable format would come close to emulating the behaviour of EndNote, which given the litigious stance of EndNote's owner Thomson Reuters could well be a legal problem. …

The Word plugin doesn't work without a running copy of Zotero Standalone. It might be interesting to have it talk to the web version of Zotero but I'm not aware of that functionality being planned.
-
Does anyone else want this? Any other ideas about how it could work? I have thought about this myself, but what I've realised is that I rarely need to cite the presentation especially if it didn't also yield a paper. In practice this means that I k…

I guess you need to explain a little more about this certificate of transparency. What's an example of a service providing it in a way that your university would approve?
-
Note that Zotero doesn't just work with Word but also with LibreOffice and LateX (with Zotero Better Bibtex). It looks like you may already be familiar with existing workarounds — e.g. Scrivener & Zotero integration. Meanwhile, for fuller int…

"Did I lose all my citations on already existing files?" No, don't worry — the temporary unavailibility of the plugin doesn't affect any of your already saved documents in which you cited sources using Zotero.
-
This looks like you don't have the bibliographic metadata, just the PDFs. Could it be that you have dragged bare PDFs into the Zotero window instead of getting stuff into your library the standard (and recommended) way? If you have PDFs in the roo…
-
It sounds like you've now added a separate bibliography in your document. If you want the cited items to appear exclusively in footnotes, see this thread for limitations of Word, and for a user-contributed citation style that could work.
-
Please provide a more specific link to an item that doesn't work, or the precise search terms to arrive at such an item.
-
FWIW, if it works at home, and you've successfully imported all PDFs, and you use Zotero file sync, then getting your full library at work might be just a matter of syncing both systems. (Not so if you don't use file syncing of course.)
-
That is absolutely possible. For every document in which you cite sources using Zotero, you can select a citation style. It is also easy to change from one style to another at any point in time. Assuming you're using Word, see the instructions for u…
-
In Zotero, if you drag PDFs straight into your library you still need to right-click and retrieve metadata. In general though, it's advisable to get items into your library using Zotero connectors (which work on just about any scientific journal web…
-
Apologies, I should've known. I have written to them although I think that, too, will take quite some time before they implement it (if they're willing). For now, Zotfile comes to the rescue so no hurry.
-
@adamsmith — based on my experience, stray files do tend to accumulate in the /storage/ folder, most commonly because of attach or rename operations gone wrong, and because the 'missing attachment' popup provides no information about the folder or f…

Just to crossreference a new thread where similar problems are reported: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/69656/quick-format-bar-returns-irrelevant-items

This does sound exactly like the problem in the thread I linked to above — basically, problems are due to messy typing, and this is a bug introduced in a recent version since none of us reported/experienced it before summer 2017.
-
Any chance it's this problem? https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/289709/#Comment_289709 TL;DR: in recent versions of the citation bar, messy typing causes non-matches to show up because not the final string but intermediate partial stri…

Offtopic: Ooh @emilianoheyns I'm really looking forward to that. Especially if it can also scan for stray files in the storage directory, which is the problem that's most frequent in my >10k items library.

+1 for inserting currently selected item from client into citation.

(bump) (sorry to be asking for info without being able to offer help — I have a feeling that maybe everybody wanted this to succeed but somehow it didn't materialise and has now slipped down the priority list.) Genuinely curious what happened to…

+1 for the original, simplest request, to mark things as non-duplicates. (This probably should apply only to the pairs of items currently detected as possible duplicate, to make sure detection will still work if true duplicates to items in a non-set…

Great, thank you!
