If you edit the bibliography of a numeric style, chaos ensues. If you can use "Revert all" in the Edit Bibliography window, that'll fix things (you'd want to make any manual changes in a copy of the document with citations unlinked).
-
(the point of troubleshooting mode is to figure out where the problem is, not to use it permanently)
-
That depends on what you want to do -- if you want to edit the metadata for the citations, that's not possible. If you want copies of those item (which won't be connected to the citations, though they will have the same metadata) for your Zotero li…
-
yes -- that's the name-as-sort-order="first" attribute (to be set on name). If you can't get it right, post your author/contributor macro here (between html tags and we can give you pointers.
-
You can set the language for the style in the document preferences in the Zotero for Word add-on -- many people like and use the translated generic (APA, Chicago, Vancouver) styles when writing in a non-English language, but the option to switch to …
-
FWIW, Edge tends to behave identical to Chrome (they use the same engine), so if you're on Windows you could try that.
-
Oh, then theres no way Zotero could know that you have several items with the same author. The a,b,c only work -- can only work -- with the word processor add-ons. The only way you would get the a,b,c to the clipboard is by creating the bibliograph…
-
This is in which word processor? And you are adding citations using the add/edit citation button? Does clicking 'Refresh' help? Switching to a different style & back? Also, which Zotero version?
-
Which citation style? The a,b,c suffixes should generally happen automatically, regardless of item type..
-
You'd have had to 'pin' citation styles with BBT for it to write to Extra, which is a separate operation. Since the whole point of this is to generate editable, stable citekeys, I think it makes sense that BBT wouldn't try to clean this up. I'm fair…
-
I'd tend to put this in a note -- the best place for general related information. The Extra field was originally kind of created for this type of stuff, but given its extensive use for metadata, I'd be a bit reluctant to use it for too much other th…
-
Can you say what exact scenario you want to future proof against? BBT should not overwrite Extra with Citation keys -- it should just add them to existing content.
-
OK, so that's Quick Copy entirely -- you'd very likely not see the same issue with the Word add-on (which might be worthwhile looking into). Have you tried right-click --> Paste Options --> Merge formatting instead of drag& drop? If that…
-
Wait, are you using the Word add -on or drag & drop(=quick copy)? Those are 2 completely different operations
-
(no changes to any existing item types for 10+ years; complex.technical debt is involved. The workaround listed right a ve works well)
-
For scoping/systematic reviews (one of the few things that OVID is decent for given it's reliable search interface), the browser connector is a lot more cumbersome -- to import 1k articles you need to save between 10-50 times and have a good chance …
-
referenced as in cited? Not at all -- you wouldn't cite the citation style you use any more than the font you use for your dissertation. Or am I misunderstanding the question?
-
Try disabling the plugin and see if the problem goes away -- I'd expect it to
-
What do you mean by logged in? The Zotero app doesn't have a login. Could you take a screenshot of your Zotero & paste it here?

NIHR is a UK agency, hence no PMCIDs. You're looking for this style: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:national-library-of-medicine-grant-proposals

Read the short official doc here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/annotations_in_database As described there, there are three reasons: 1. It avoids annoying file sync conflicts 2. It is much higher performing (if you write annotations to the PDF,…
-
I don't think the context menu is the right place for it -- it's already too crowded as is.
-
Do you mean ZotLink or ZotFile? (ZotLink is rarely used and as I understand it intended for supplementary files, not the main PDF(s)). For files to sync with Zotero they'd have to be stored as attachments. You can convert linked file to stored fil…
-
With BBT installed you have two BibTeX choices: BibTeX and Better BibTeX. Try the latter. Hard to say what's wrong with the Breuer reference -- could be the & in the keywords. You could just remove that from the tag.
-
Beyond that, I'm wondering if you used BetterBibTeX before. Zotero has exported the language to "language" and not "langid" (which I think is used in BibLaTeX, not BibTeX, but the rest of your file doesn't look like BibLaTeX)
-
If you need escaped special characters in your BibTeX (there's nothing invalid about UTF-8 and you can likely make it work using the inputenc package), you need to use "Western" encoding on export. I know you say you tried that, but please double-ch…
-
You can look at the size of your stage folder in the data directory for an approximation: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data (the storage on the server will tend to be a bit lower)
-
Zotero has been very clear about this: the Android app is in a purposefully limited beta, and as long as it is, distribution through Google Play is the only way to keep it limited. Once it's openly released, they will publish as an APK.
-
You'll want to troubleshoot that with the script/tool maintainer. The API works fine. FWIW, the call should be itemType=annotation, not {'annotation'}, I'm assuming there's some missing data type conversion in the script.
-
I don't think your library is public and you're not include an API key in the above, so I'm guessing that's what you're seeing, but beyond that you should post API questions (with some more detail on what you're trying to do and in what context you'…
