Hi Eleanor, > is there a guide somewhere on how to format my annotations I haven‘t tried this myself but the note template docs may help: https://www.zotero.org/support/note_templates
-
@daeh @ChrisWaloszek If it's the classic Papers 3 desktop app for Mac from which you're trying to migrate to Zotero, it's worth noting again that Papers 3 is fully scriptable and as such provides programmatic access to many of its data model objects…

There's also the PrintFriendly browser extensions (https://www.printfriendly.com) which have helped me at times to convert HTML pages to readable PDFs that can be highlighted & annotated using PDF annotation tools. I'm also using this with my pl…

Thanks @emilianoeheyns, I‘ll have a look!

Hi Sekator, as I mentioned above, I would probably be able to contribute the Papers part but I don't know how to automate Zotero in order to assign collections or transfer Papers-specific metadata.
-
Hi Catherine, great if you can tackle it! And no, I haven't done this so far, since I lack the knowledge on the Zotero side. I could help with the Papers part. But the "Papers_To_Bookends" script may give you some hints already. Matthias

Papers 3 is pretty scriptable and offers access to its manual & smart collections (and to its contained publications) via its scripting API. IMO, this would be much better & easier than messing with the database. Here's some basic examples:…

@rs123: If I knew apple script, i'd just kill the RIS JF line in the RIS text export file and rename the JA field to JF. hmmm. AppleScript shouldn't be necessary, you'd just need to perform some regular expression search & replace actions using …

@pgalgano, you could use a third-party tool to convert from SciFinder to a format that Zotero understands. This is only another workaround but it may be quicker than importing article webpages individually. Here's one suggestion: 1. Login at de…

In the third case, it is not so clear what to do. While paulbee proposes to keep the different variants, linking them so they are somehow seen as one in the bibliography, I think that's a rather messy solution. In my scientific field, authors (and t…

Thanks asplundj for the pointer, this is exactly the type of style I was referring to (but couldn't find a matching example in the Zotero style repository myself). AFAIK, the Oecologia style (which I think is used by many Springer journals) gets als…
-
The citation style used by MEPS/Marine Ecology Progress Series (and other journals from Inter-Research) is very similar to a common Springer style (which e.g. gets used for the Springer journals Polar Biology and Marine Biology). So, if there are al…

@migugg: Though non-standard, agreeing on a user-definable RIS field for data transfer might work. However, note that 'U1' is used by Bibutils and other tools to indicate the type of thesis, e.g. "Masters thesis" or "Ph.D. thesis".

I've recently developed a Vancouver style for refbase, and I've found following Vancouver style guides useful: http://www.library.uq.edu.au/training/citation/vancouv.pdf http://library.curtin.edu.au/research_and_information_skills/referencing…

darnella, in case of unAPI, I believe that Zotero recognizes following formats (and format labels), in this order of preference: mods marc endnote ris bibtex rdf_dc Besides the unapi.info site, the documentation of the refbase unAPI implementation…

darnella, if you're going the unAPI route, Zotero recognizes e.g. the MODS XML format. Some sample MODS data can be found e.g. here and here.

In case of refbase, you'd do the following: 1. export your data from RefWorks using the RefWorks tagged format (which is supported by refbase) 2. login to http://beta.refbase.net/ and goto http://beta.refbase.net/import.php 3. Import your d…

I was referring to a third-party app (refbase), sorry for the confusion. Note that, in my above example, 'author' was meant to contain a list of all authors. If you need to sort 3 or more authors by first author, then by year (i.e. ignoring any co…
-
Having the author-count as a key in the sort is the correct way to go, except that author-count must max out at 3 Right, in our app we use: ... ORDER BY first_author, author_count, author, year, title where: 'author_count' contains a number of 1 (s…

Hi ftr, DOI concerns US publications AFAIK, this is not correct, there are many non-US publications that have a DOI. However, I agree with you that Connotea's restriction to records with a detectable URI, PMID, DOI, or ASIN is a major abstacle. Not…
-
How many records are you trying to import? AFAIK, import of many (i.e. hundreds or thousands of) records may take quite a while. Have you tried to keep Zotero/Firefox running over night? Does that help?
-
Scot, personally, I like these ideas. However, I'd prefer that a standard search syntax (such as CQL) would be used for this. CQL would allow for very simple queries such as these: crime crime AND punish but would also allow to target particular f…

Alternatively, all basic metadata (i.e. those that are usually required to cite a journal article) can now be fetched directly from the CrossRef OpenUrl resolver. Alf Eaton writes in his blog: ...the CrossRef OpenURL resolver/metadata server has a n…

It is still my hope that the Zotero devs are open to discuss their planned server implementation with interested third-party developers on the Zotero dev list. I think it would be very beneficial for Zotero and the many third-party tools to agr…

Markdown is very nice and, from my experience, works great for basic note taking as well as for academic citations. For people who aren't familiar with Markdown: paste the contents of e.g. this Markdown sample text into the form of the Markdown Din…

Gitty K, could you post a sample file (e.g. in RIS format) with a few records, as you've exported them from Endnote? This might help to debug your issue.

I don't know whether you're on a PC or a Mac, but if the latter, Scrivener might be worth a look, it has solid note taking & writing capabilities: http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.html
