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!
-
I also experienced this yesterday, just after installing the Zotero Better BibTex plugin. Are you also using that?
-
Thanks! And interesting, I hadn't realised it could be PMIDs.
-
Are you trying to save references from Google Scholar? Make sure you have not just Zotero Standalone (i.e. the newest version of Zotero), but also a Zotero Connector for the browser you're using. Then there would be no need to use "Import into Ref…

Bonus points if it can also be there in some form of embedded metadata that a translator can fetch. (See here for why this came up BTW.)
-
This probably should be on the about Zotero page. While citing software is easy, figuring out the (institutional) author is not trivial in the case of Zotero (e.g. the About page makes it seem like joint authorship between the Roy Rosenzweig Center …

Thanks so much for your help!
-
My bad, you are right! Works perfectly. (Glossa is making their life difficult by requesting this info, which isn't available in all dissertation repositories, but that is their own problem...)
-
Looking good! The only thing still missing, as far as I can see, is the place for dissertations. So what is now: Akita, Kimi. 2009. A Grammar of Sound-Symbolic Words in Japanese: Theoretical Approaches to Iconic and Lexical Properties of Japanese …

Any chance someone like @damnation, @bwiernik or @adamsmith could help out with this? No hurry, but these are changes that I've confirmed with the journal staff are needed, and it would be great if Zotero could offer the correct Glossa style.
