I don't think I understand. You can add item to collections from any view both by drag&drop and using "Add to Collection" in the right-click context menu. Were you just not aware of that latter option or could you explain how that's different f…

You just have to use the actual page field in the Word add-on, not write directly into the quick format bar. You can add whicher delimiter you want there and it'll appear in the citation, see https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usa…
-
If you're looking at the style editor, that's using the information from the journal abbr. field in Zotero -- I'd assume you have the abbreviation without periods there. Using the word processor add-ons, you can set Zotero to auto-generate the abbre…
-
The basic answer to the question as asked is no. It might be possible to say/do something more helpful with more details about how the references are actually used, which is why I was asking about that. E.g. if they are entirely in separate sections…

I don't quite understand the lit review vs. "support articles" distinction. Could you given an example? Are all of these cited in the article itself?
-
That works in general -- please see my other questions above
-
Could you double-check the add-ons, including restarting after disabling them? It's near impossible that Zotero would do this by itself and e.g. the "Linter for Zotero" add-on does have functionality that can cause this.
-
Not a feature, no. What operating system are you on?
-
How long are these notes? The character limit for notes is 250,000, i.e. the length of a short book (formatting takes up some characters, but still). Given that, most of the time this message comes up, something else is going on, most commonly image…

Works for me -- which OS?
-
We always need specific URLs when reporting issues like this. You should also specify if this happens on multiple sites or specifically on ResearchGate, and if the latter, whether you are logged in or not when you try (different from most other acad…

I don't think "allow for relatively effortless switching between the three main types of citation styles (note, author-date, numeric)" is 18 steps ahead, and implementing a future poorly as a first cut creates technical debt that makes it harder to …
-
As far as I know, the ivi/ibidem distinction is used only in Italian -- Chicago Manual just uses ibid. with or without page numbers. I think it's possible to modify the style, but could you describe with a couple of examples what you actually need? …
-
I say how to above -- if that's not clear or doesn't work for you, you'd have to say more
-
1. No. Some universities provide institutional access to Zotero that gives free storage to all affiliates. Also, note that you don't need to use storage to use Zotero and you can use WebDAV as an alternative to Zotero storage for personal libraries.…
-
If you actually mean that the PDFs have no text layer and you have to OCR them (which seems very odd, especially for a title page), Zotero can't do that nor can any other app I am aware of. Gen AI models might be able to do something, depending on t…
-
Don't re-install -- there's virtually no chance that'll change anything. So one thing is that as I understand the feature, the PDF loads first, the citation recognition is sort of an overlay -- it can take a little to appear, so wait a bit without …
-
You need to expirt using "Better BibTeX" (as a format, that is; BibTeX is just the regular Zotero export)
-
That'd take quite a bit of moving things around, because Chicago is only to a very limited degree organized around item types and more about systematics of information (and volume/issue would never be in the end of the citation in regular Chicago st…
-
The Extra field can hold any valid CSL variable and which variable is used for which item type and how depends entirely on the citation style, so you'd have to read the style's CSL code to follow that (we certainly can't document that individually f…
-
Yeah, so that's the issue I note -- Google Docs doesn't recognize the spacing format for bibliographies most styles use. You can follow the instructions in dstillman's post on fixing this once you're done editing. I believe that's currently your onl…
-
We need the citation style, though.
-
@dstillman @adomasven -- I don't think our most common form of spacing out bibliography entries in CSL (entry-spacing="1", the default) is working in GDocs. See below basically identical documents with Word & GDocs in Harvard Cite Them Right: h…
-
You mean permanently for all documents or in a specific document?
-
This is the default behavior, doesn't require a shortcut - just hover over - and can't be disabled. You're trying to get this in the PDF in zotero, yes? Could you try a couple of different PDFs, and have you tried restarting zotero? And to be clear,…

Das heißt ohne Autor ohne Jahr. Ich würde vermuten daß Du Dateien statt Metadaten Einträge zutiefst, was nicht funktioniert. Kannst Du zum Testen etwas über die DOI (mit dem 'Zauberstab') importieren und das dann zitieren?.Dann siehst Du auch wie da…
-
You need to save this as a new style wit different title and id
-
Changing the citation styles (really isn't hard -- you probably just have to take out or a slight variety of it)
-
@m.sabba -- the feature is still planned, but a lot of the rest of what you write doesn't line up with Zotero functionality that already exists: the related issue of the Zotero Connector plug often failing to import metadata properly from sites such…

Carefully run through https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/files_not_syncing and if that doesn't fix the problem report the information specified there.
