  • @adamsmith - Okay, I opened the ODT file in Libre Office that I created using the Zotero RTF scan. The settings in Zotero for the LO plugin are for APA. The document in Libre Office has the citations formated correctly (author, year), however, it al…
  • Yes, @bwiernik . To input a citation into Scrivener, I use CTRL + SHIFT + C to copy the scannable cite in Zotero from the parent document. Then I paste the cite into Scrivener. To compile the document, I select "format as original" and compile for …
  • I have the LibreOffice plugin installed in Zotero. Does this not do the proper formatting? I discovered if I manually put in the parentheses then of course this corrects the issue. But when I've done the in-text citations in the past in Scrivener, I…
  • Great! Thank you @bwiernik. I will use one note attached to the parent file and use the tags then. My question re: Scrivener was whether attaching notes to the parent file in Zotero (which is where Scrivener pulls the citation information from) wou…
  • @adamsmith I figured it out. I was doing two things wrong. I forgot to change the output to a scannable cite, and I was copying the PDF file rather than the metadata file from Zotero. It appears now that the cite markers are formatting properly in S…
  • @adamsmith I downloaded and saved the .js scannable cite file to the Zotero translators folder in the directory. Closed Zotero, restarted. Now when I use ctrl + alt + c to insert a cite marker in Scrivener, this is what I get: file:///C:/Program Fi…
  • If I use ctrl C to copy the cite, then when I paste it into Scrivener it inserts only the author's name and year, which is what I want it to do. So that works. My guess is it probably won't work, however, to create the bibliography from the ODT outp…
  • @adamsmith Ah, okay - back to the question I asked initially. The problem is I don't have the scannable cite selection in export. So I have copied the code for scannable cite. Can I put this into the standalone or do I need to go through the websit…
  • This may be a user-error issue because I am new to Scrivener. When I copy the cite over into Scrivener, rather than getting the citation with the weird code, I get a full bibliographic cite. Here's exactly what appeared when I dragged from Zotero i…
  • Thanks, @bwiernik. I didn't think of using the sort function in Word. That will at least help make it a little less tedious. Unless, of course, @adamsmith decides to write the code....(maybe??)
  • @bwiernik Yes, I have the RTF/ODF scan for Zotero plug in installed. @adamsmith When I click on the link in the comment you reference, I am redirected to a page with a bunch of code. Am I supposed to copy that code and paste it somewhere in Zotero? …
  • Using the standalone client, I cannot find the option in preferences under export or cite that is for a "scannable cite." I am trying to use Zotero with Scrivener and I cannot figure out how to insert citations. Can anyone help? Thank you.
