which citation style? Generally, you can put original-date: 1983 in the Extra field and citation styles _can_ pick this up, but only a relatively small number are coded to do so at this time.
-
See in particular 4. and 9. here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/debugging_broken_documents
-
Yeah, APA 6 uses et al. for the first citation if there are more than 5 authors
-
Could you check in a fresh document for testing? (also, make sure you're using the right style -- lots of people are confusing the American Sociological Association (6th) edition with APA 6th edition)
-
I think Advanced Search Tag -- does not contain -- % with "include only top level items" checked should do this. You'll likely want to create a saved search to be able to work with those items
-
(to be clear though, I'm not arguing. I just think that unless/until merge functionality exists, it's important for folks to understand what is and what isn't already possible in Zotero, and a good number of people posting in this thread appear unaw…
-
That looks like it's very easily doable, yes. I didn't even realize .nbib files existed outside of pubmed. Should have something up within a week.
-
Nature is pretty compact: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:nature and has most relevant info Even more compact is something like Royal Society of Chemistry, but that doesn't actually include article titles (just authors & pub information), so…
-
1) More or less what you're planning should work, yes. Note, however, that the title field has a character limit for syncing (don't remember exactly how long -- maybe 250 chars?) so you may run into issues with that -- it might be better to use Extr…
-
I think having articles saved with their actual title as title makes sense, but I vaguely remember a conversation that this wasn't always so clear cut in the PubMed data, so would want to investigate some more before changing the translator.
-
The reason for that was to signal an update to a recent-ish version of the manual because people were asking about this and unsure whether the style had been updated. I'd like to keep it. I like the acronyms after the title as a first try to avoid…
-
If this is just about title casing see: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/sentence_casing Zotero will auto-convert to title case e.g. for Chicago style but will not convert to sentence case, so you should enter all your titles in sentence case.
-
1. Juris-m functionality as it exists will likely not make it to Zotero any time soon. That said a) Case 1) can already be done in Zotero, though not officially and it requires modifying styles and meticulously entering metadata in the language fiel…
-
I just pushed out what I think should be a fix -- that'll be available on zotero.org/style shortly. Note that the style has been putting full page ranges for articles and chapters into in-text citations, which makes no sense: Where referring to a sp…
-
This is, IIRC, the same issue as before. The RIS file has: Y1 - 2018/08/27 PY - 2018 DA - 2019/06/01 And we go with Y1/PY over DA, which I think makes sense, but it's also not something that's well defined in the RIS "standard," so it'd be hard …
-
No, that's not possible, sorry.
-
This should be helpful: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/debugging_broken_documents
-
So the changes are just the DOI format the the PMID?
-
I'm assuming the problem is that ASA is bundled and people see "American .... Association, 6th edition" in their list of styles and select it. IIRC the bundling was updated based on empirics, though, so I don't think removing ASA because of this is…
-
Zotero's APA style definitely still uses the comma (the preview is irrelevant for formatting, though). Most of the reports about issues like this stem from confusing American Psychological Association with American Sociological Association. Both ex…
-
Do you mean that or did you misread the question? We're allowing a mix of numerical and author-date citations?
-
No -- in the context of that citation style, the second variant isn't a citation. It's just narrative text.
-
When an import translator is called on an empty text file (which is what happens in the code here), it just fails silently in general. I don't think we're particularly concerned about this to be honest, since Zotero has the successful import feedba…
-
Zotero also doesn't really support idem -- you can force it into doing this in the bibliography, but it's not even a supported term there (for good reason...) and doesn't exist in-text. And adding author gender and related terms would be messy. It …
-
Run through this, then, as it applies https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/debugging_broken_documents

You just delete it in Word. If it just comes back, it's not fully deleted -- refer to step 9 for how to tell.
-
Transfer A-to-B did not work with larger (1 GB) mp4-files, at least not in a reasonable time (overnight). That's the part that would require troubleshooting. How many such files are we talking about? Did you get any sort of error message?
-
How big of a document? Approximately how many citations? And what exactly happens when you try to move to Word?
-
Whether a style uses ibid. or not is defined in the citation style. While technically possible, this is a very rare requirement for Harvard styles -- I've only ever seen it for German ones. It's not part of the Manchester University Harvard style on…
-
Yes, by default they'd be duplicated. The most common approach would be to delete them from their original location after you've imported them into Zotero, though there are alternatives.
