While the PDF file format offers some rudimentary tags for metadata storage, these are very seldomly (if at all) used by publishers, and there's no way to reliably and consistently extract things like an abstract from a PDF. See also previous d…

According to this Biblioscape support page, Biblioscape supports export of references as "Refer -- EndNote", "RIS -- Reference Manager" or BibTeX. You should be able to use these formats to transfer your data into Zotero.

Hi Joe, Zotero supports standard methods to identify and fetch metadata from a web site, please have a look at the COinS and unAPI specs available at: http://ocoins.info/ http://unapi.info/ COinS is very easy to implement, but somewhat l…

@max213, for info about some of the mentioned standards, please see e.g.: COinS: http://ocoins.info/ unAPI: http://unapi.info/ openURL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenURL MARC: http://www.loc.gov/marc/

@bubfutrelle, please see: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/369/ http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/179/

Personally, I find it also confusing that I'm not allowed to put regular URLs (i.e. "non-identifying" URLs that point to copies of the source) into the URL field. I think that it would be best to rename the current URL field to something more specif…

> but how to import ODF spreadsheet in OOo database? Please see the instructions at http://openoffice.refbase.net/
-
@dalloliogm: as a temporary solution until a direct integration of Zotero and OOo is available, you could login at http://beta.refbase.net/ and import your Zotero RIS data there. Then, display all your imported records on one page, select all and ex…

Robert, I did also attempt to compile a comprehensive mapping between Unicode and LaTeX entities (see here) which may be helpful for comparison. The list of Unicode characters was adopted from transtab by Markus Kuhn.

I'd guess that when the CSL spec has been finalized and when there's an easy infrastructure to add/edit CSL files, the number of available styles will increase quickly. AFAIK, Endnote styles are in binary format, so I don't think there's a way …
-
Yes, that is obvious and this is why it's a planned feature, it's also mentioned on the main page and in the planned features section: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/known_issues_and_planned_features#planned_features_beyond_1.0 And it…
-
Viktor, AFAIK, this is exactly what is planned. The XBib Project by Bruce D'Arcus together with the Zotero folks are developing a citation style language (CSL) to describe citation style definitions in a generic way. Users will eventually be able to…

Besides the issue of trailing whitespace, I think that, for the Endnote tagged text format, "Conference Paper" is an incorrect resource type name. "Conference Proceedings" should be used instead. http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~jacobsd/bib/format…

AFAIK, this has already been implemented in the current Zotero release. Within your "My Library" folder, select the record in question, then hold down the "option" key (on the Mac, maybe "alt" on Windows?). This will highlight all collections which …
-
Jeff, could you post a sample file of the Scholar's Aid tagged text format (preferably including typical records of all major types)? If it's format is not too difficult to parse, it might be possible to convert it to RIS, or, as noksagt suggests, d…

I'd greatly appreciate any words from the Zotero devs on noksagt's previous two posts. Would it be possible for Zotero to recognize and auto-download any full texts that are linked within a MODS XML file (as shown above, or similar). Many thanks, --m
-
In addition to noksagt's recommendations, you could also try to export Zotero data from the SQLite database as tab-delimited text (using one of the available SQLite tools), then use Filemaker's field-mapping tools upon import to push the data into t…

A tooltip works fine for preview of single records but depends on using your mouse. IMHO, it's always good if a GUI solution supports access via mouse AND keyboard. In addition, I like previewing of *multiple* selected records and using the preview …
-
Paul, the "ISI Export Format" you posted is specific to ISI Web of Science and requires a dedicated importer which (AFAIK) Zotero currently does not support. However, my copy of Zotero *does* actually sense and import records displayed in ISI Web of…

As a relate note, w.r.t. journal information such as abbreviated journal names, ISSN numbers or links to publisher/journal web sites, I've found http://journalseek.net/ to be quite useful.

Here are some example records from my scientific discipline. While half of these records can be displayed correctly using Unicode characters, the other half can not (if I'm not mistaken). Using Unicode wherever possible is good (IMHO), for the othe…
-
The same is true for all biological sciences where taxonomic species names must be italicized in titles of bibliographic references. In addition, subscript, superscript, and greek characters occur frequently within the title of references.
-
I don't think this would work. Parsing of any free-text references is not a trivial task, and even if a lot of smartness is applied by the developer, the parsing would probably fail *miserably* in at least half of the cases. And I'm pretty sure user…

Dan (and Simon), many thanks for adding unAPI support, this is great news and I'm eager to try this out! Re. raising the issue of standards support, I'm sure that many of us would greatly appreciate if you'd bring this up at a coming Mellon mee…

I agree with Scot that it may be beneficial to have a single page that describes (in simple words) the metadata "standards" supported by Zotero and which gives advice on possible implementation requirements. While screen scraping will surely remain …

bess, Bookends can export your data as Endnote tagged text which Zotero can import. I'm no Bookends expert, but I can successfully export records from Bookends 9.0.8 via following steps: 1. Choose menu entry "Biblio > Formats Manager..." and…
-
Aaron, you seem to be pretty new to the Zotero forums. You also seem to be new to the open-source community of bib app developers, otherwise you'd know that your judgement about noksagt is incorrect. I can attest that noksagt has actively (and sigin…

I second noksagt's recommendation of the Bibutils utilities for conversion of bibliographic formats. However, AFAIK the Bibutils 'med2xml' tool requires PubMed XML as input data. If you're dependent on the MEDLINE format (i.e. somehow can't refetch…

CloudofDust, I agree with you that many of my previously mentioned relations may not be needed for purposes of citations. I presented them simply to show that one hard-coded relation may pose a serious limitation and that a redesign of the data mode…

I'd like to stress again the importance of multiple relationships and multiple types of relationships. In the sense of FRBR and Barbara Tillett, here are some more examples for useful and valid relationships that (IMHO) a future research & bibli…
