  • You probably want to use a numeric style (e.g. Vancouver) and then insert a bibliography (there's a button for it in Word). Edit: err, sorry, meant to say numeric
  • See https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/32334/word-2010-cant-find-zotero-4012-for-firefox-in-palemoon-2402x64/
  • I guess we were talking about different things. I meant the instructions recited in this thread by adityakakati. Didn't want him/her (or anyone else reading this) to get confused.
  • Well, yes, that particular file from a backup does not matter, but the instructions become unclear, since there is no mention of closing Standalone/Firefox before renaming "zotero.sqlite" (which would be bad).
  • Well, not exactly to the letter. 1.I take the LARGEST size zotero.sqlite.bak file and name it zotero.sqlite.new (while Standalone is running)You should not rename these files while Zotero is running. That should be "while Standalone is _not_ running…
  • Though this is, hopefully, not a typical source of metadata. You will generally be able to import good quality metadata using the URL bar icon (you shouldn't use the right-click feature if you can avoid it), but this page does not expose metadata an…

  • See if this helps https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#page_and_other_locators (the actual format of how the page number shows up is dictated by the citation style, so you might have to find a style that does what you want exac…
  • So what you show above is supposed to be incorrect? Or is that what you want it to look like? (It looks correct to me)
  • You want to _sync_ them through zotero.org _and_ via Dropbox? Or are you just looking to use Google Drive/Dropbox as backup? If you're after the latter, then you can symlink your "storage" directory to Dropbox/Google Drive, but you should not attem…
  • What does "did not work" mean? No output was generated (i.e. buttons were disabled)? You were not able to submit the report to the server? Something else? As for the Zotero Standalone Debug ID, if you received a Debug ID, then it went through to th…
  • Lastly, if you don't mind sharing, why are you trying to use your own server to sync Zotero? Is it privacy concerns, Zotero storage costs, something else? Syncing Zotero _data_ (not file attachments) using some third-party method is not supported, b…
  • We'd need a sample record to work with. I don't recall if EBSCOHost provides permalinks (I think they do), but you can also describe how to navigate to the page in question. It will include month and date of publication, when I just want the year.Th…
  • What exactly is "your server"? Is that a WebDAV server? A SAMBA share? An FTP server? Something else? In either case, using the same exact data directory on two different computers is highly discouraged (you might avoid data corruption if your serv…
  • Press Windows Key + R and then run this command cmd /C "dir /AL %APPDATA%\Zotero\Zotero\Profiles\ogpycvkk.default\zotero\storage & PAUSE" See if anything shows up in the window that pops up. It should tell you if you have any symbolic links/junc…

  • See if this helps https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/983328 (you can also download the Word plugin using a different browser if you are in a rush and drag-drop it into Firefox to install, but you obviously want to figure out the underlying…
  • Feel free to submit a patch that makes Zotero use another full-text academic search engine of equivalent quality that does no rate-limiting.(or even suggest a publicly-available one)
  • We should already be taking advantage of the workaround you are seeing when retrieving metadata for PDFs (which is what this thread is mostly about). I'm guessing that you would get the captchas in non-private Firefox session if you clear the cookie…
  • I've made the case for this in the past, and I don't remember if we add in any delays at all nowWe wait 2 seconds between queries. Increasing that may or may not help individual users (I have a feeling Google is pretty smart about detecting automat…
  • And this is after attempting to retrieve metadata for PDFs? I assume you tried accessing Google Scholar from a computer that does not have Zotero installed and were blocked as well. Do you know if all the computers on your network have the same exte…
  • This may be helpful to understand different parts of Zotero https://www.zotero.org/support/installation Does Zotero freeze immediately after opening or after you perform some action?
  • But when I try and save it, I can't find it in ZoteroIf, in Chrome, under Zotero preferences, it says that "Zotero Standalone is currently unavailable", then Zotero will be saving to your online account. This may not have been clear, but you do need…
  • So there is no icon on the page I linked above? Then go through the applicable steps here https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues
  • You will want to install Zotero Standalone in addition to the Chrome extension, but the icon should still show up in Chrome without it. See this page https://www.worldcat.org/title/inquiry-into-the-nature-and-causes-of-the-wealth-of-nations/oclc/167…
  • Could you submit a Debug Log of a sync attempt that fails? https://www.zotero.org/support/debug_output Disable automatic sync (Preferences -> Sync -> uncheck Sync Automatically and press OK), now enable logging as per instructions and trigger …
  • Zotero 4.0.22 is now out with a fix for this issue. Let us know if there are other accessibility improvements that could be made.
  • I didn't trigger the error (was testing it post-patch and was too lazy to revert changes), but my guess is that the error was getting thrown from the parseContextObject call from outside the try-catch. The first round inside the try-catch was placin…
  • By design, to avoid potential copyright violations, it is not possible to publicly share file attachments using Zotero services. There might be ways to bypass this restriction (e.g. using Dropbox or Zotero API to serve files from your own website), …
