  • Ah, so simple!! Thank you for the quick response, @adamsmith!
  • Thank you, @fbennett! Refreshing the document fixed it. @adamsmith, I had selected the citation style - the citations were formatted correctly, there were just multiples of those containing multiple citations. But refreshing the document after the R…
  • Thanks, @fbennett. I do see that there are different codes in each marker, as you noted. However, what I see when I compile the document in Scrivener, then go through the process of saving in LibreOffice, and doing the RTF/ODF scan, is that there …
  • @adamsmith, thank you for that tip! I didn't know that. Interestingly, I have another manuscript that had Zotero citations in it, and the links were all perfectly fine. In the manuscript I had to fix, the links had all converted to static text. But…
  • Thanks, @adamsmith. Yes, that is correct, I am using the edit bibiography function only to add items that I cited in the paper, but for which I did not use the in-text citation. For exmple, "Cohen (1988) suggests...." versus "Some suggest that.... (…
  • Got it. Thanks for clarifying, @bwiernik.
  • I would also note that there appears to be an error in the disambiguation for American Psychological Association 6th edition rules. When two authors have the same last name AND an article published in the same year, the in-text citation should use i…
  • I am having the same issue as @bjhood. There is one author who is on numerous papers I have cited, sometimes as the first author, and sometimes as co-author. I have checked all papers to ensure his name is entered identically in every case. Yet in s…
  • @fbennett, yes, there is a value in the short title field. When I clear that, the citation updates properly in the bibliography. @dstillman, I am using version 5.0.71. I'm not sure if that is the beta version; if not, I will install the beta version.
  • I've had a similar issue. I change the title to sentence case in the Zotero client, but then in the Word document bibliography list, the title has not been completely corrected regarding capital letters. I noticed what appears to be a pattern - if t…
  • Hi @dstillman. I currently have my Zotero storage located on an institutional shared drive, which I am accessing through a VPN. I think this may be causing the major delays and problems with my Zotero standalone. Therefore, I am currently transferri…
  • @dstillman, here is the Debug ID: D742993352. I logged a period of time in which I tried to copy 3 PDFs (simultaneously) to a folder in Zotero. It took so long, I eventually aborted the process.
  • @bwiernik Another question - is there a way to keep Zotero from updating automatically? For now, I need to keep the older version so I can do the ODF scan so I don't want Zotero to update to the newest version each time I reopen it.
  • Thanks @bwiernik, that helps. I did as you advised and downloaded the older version of Zotero because my citations were indeed in the ODF scan format. Of course, now when I restart Zotero, it updates to the newest version. Will the ODF format be add…
  • @bwiernik I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean - that the RTF and ODT files are not interchangeable?
  • @adamsmith @bwiernik I do have version 5.0.56 of Zotero, so apparently I can't use the ODF scan plugin. I think I figured out the problem, which is that I needed to change the output file from Scrivener to an RTF rather than an ODT file. That seems …
  • @adamsmith, yes, my library is synced. Thank you for the response!
  • Actually, now Libre is sporadically identifying the problematic citation. Sometimes it gives the error message only (IDX is not defined) and sometimes it will highlight the problematic citation and give the option to replace it. Given that, it seems…
  • @adamsmith, disregard my last comment. Libre is now picking up the problematic citation and giving me the option to replace it. Libre was not doing this previously which made it a guessing game as to which citation marker was the problem. I think I'…
  • Thank you, @adamsmith. I'm assuming there is no way to figure out which citation is causing the problem?
  • I tried reproducing the problem with only 1 citation in a document. But that worked without a problem. In other words, after I did the RTF scan in Zotero and then updated the citations in Libre to APA format, the citation marker was properly updated…
  • Zotero version 5.0.47. Yes, ODF scan.
  • Here is a report I just submitted (D729510504). I dragged a PDF file to be copied into a folder. However, the file is not showing up in the folder. I restarted Zotero and the PDF file now appears in the folder (D1333466803). But the file was not cop…
  • One issue is that when dragging a PDF into a folder, it will take a long time to show up. Sometimes it won't show up unless I shut down Zotero and restart it. Other times the file does not copy correctly (even though the PDF file will appear as thou…
  • Not sure if this captured it, but here is one output report: D1346341742
  • Okay, I got it @adamsmith. I needed to add the Zotero add-in to LibreOffice. Now the citations are formatting correctly and I see where to add in the bibliography with the Zotero button. Thank you again for your help!!
  • In Zotero standalone, under "add-ins", I selected APA settings for the LibreOffice plugin. I'm not seeing any toolbar for Zotero in LibreOffice...??
  • As a test, in Scrivener, I removed the parentheses that I previously put in manually around the citation marker. What I had previously: ( { | English, 1998 | | |zu:2016386:GUYDJNDI}) (parentheses added manually). Now: { | English, 1998 | | |zu:2016…
  • In Zotero (standalone version), I went to the Libreoffice plugin and set the document preferences to APA 6th. So yes, I did do that, yet the output does not seem to insert the parentheses around the author and the year automatically. Now I am looki…
  • I also noticed that the citations for works with three to five authors do not seem to have correct citations for APA. The first time a work with three to five authors is cited in-text, all of the names should be included (example: Smith, Jones, Roge…
