Well, let me ask this another way: why is there an institutional need to store (and cite?) grants in a reference management solution? Is this just for generating annual activity reports from individual faculty? Something else? Guess I'm curious what…
-
Not exactly sure what you're looking for, but if it's just being able to pull a formatted list of references from Zotero into WordPress, that should be possible now. The new API support is for adding new references to a zotero account, and editing e…

Can I jump in here with an alternative interpretation of the problem? My supervisor suggested that names of companies in in-text citations should be italicised - i.e. (Facebook 2010). The issue here is really not the organizational names: "Facebook…
-
So, you need to explain more a few of these ... 1. it doesn't follow this needs a new type. Can you expand more on the editor distinction you note? I believe we've heard about similar distinctions in French, but am not exactly sure this is the same…
-
I haven't read through the long back-and-forth, but would just say a) don't be so quick to jump to conclusions (yes Zotero has support for edited books, series editor, etc.*), and b) the nice thing about Zotero is that if there is a problem with som…
-
So RefMan is exporting RIS. Try the A3 tag for the series editor and JA for the periodical abbreviation. You can poke around more here to see if there's one for the series abbreviation, but it's not looking promising. Make sure the RIS it exports…

Yeah, I'd tend to lean towards adamsmiths' suggestion (in fact, I generally think we need more flexibility in the interface; there are a lot of times I'm frustrated by a missing field), and to be quite liberal about adding identifiers to CSL. Custom…
-
Yes, "categories" is the wrong word; "fields" is more appropriate. And as adamsith also suggests, it's important to first figure out what your application is exporting. I'd actually go a little farther though. First, find two or three records that…
-
I think you're going to need to be more specific. What do you mean by "categories are missing" exactly? E.g. what's a "category" in this context? Assume people reading this have no experience with RefMan.
-
But somehow I seem to read here that the developers will go in the direction that they think the greatest and/or that is best for satisfying grant requirements, largely ignoring user opinion. The fact is, grants do currently primarily fund Zotero de…

Here's a cool little rule I usually add when dealing with longer texts without margin padding (since it's hard to discern the paragraphs without it). p+p { text-indent: 1.5em; } It will automatically indent the first line of all paragraphs after t…
-
Fair enough, but isn't that a separate issue from what is really specific to a user? I guess to put this differently, the "repository" field itself is a bit odd. Really what you want to say is user-specific is the zero-or-more copies of the item co…
-
Responding to Rintze a year+ after the fact, since I still believe my suggestion here is a good idea (and suggests how to get this particular field added). Which fields would that be exactly? "Added Date", "Modified" and perhaps "Repository"? Not su…
-
Just to be a little more precise, there aren't any "hard returns": default display (CSS) rules just happens to have a bit of margin padding between the paragraphs. They're still the same paragraphs though.
-
I dunno; has it? I have no opinion myself.
-
I believe that titling issue is a problem with Zotero not understanding proper nouns. It's not the most straightforward problem to solve though. So the short-term solution is don't worry about it until you're done with the manuscript, at which poin…
-
Let us know if you come across any actual problems with the style. I created it on pretty short notice for a pub of mine that's subsequently come out. It worked fine for me, but YMMV.
-
... season sorting is tricky as items might originate from either the northern or the southern hemisphere Yeah, but practically speaking, the use case for this is a narrow one: certain periodicals. And we can simply say that the "date" in that case …
-
Have you figured out how to deal with months/seasons? The convention in some library spec whose name I'm forgetting is to treat them as month numbers; IIRC 41-44. Something like that is probably the best approach. Might be worth checking with the in…
-
Did you install the right plug-in? Sounds like you installed the one for MS Word.
-
Except we're now saying the reverse. Either way is fine (notwithstanding the tricky details we've noted). I just haven't had time to read this thread carefully.
-
The main downside to adjusting translators would be that they'd need to do more date parsing to determine whether to pass dates in in the structured format or as is, which could lead to a lot of duplication of date processing code, instead of just l…
-
3) Although I recognize the problems with the current approach, a redeeming feature is the ability to see both the unparsed (in the field) and parsed date (in the tooltip) at the same time. I really think we should reevaluate this fundamental assump…
-
Besides, "ca." is a widespread convention already for encoding uncertainty. Certainly in English display conventions it is, but I really worry about using what may be quite localized conventions for a tool that aspires to be international friendly. …
-
I'm not very familiar with the field, but in this case I think the basic principle really is common sense: take the majority case as the starting point for basic UI elements, and for the exceptions, find sensible solutions that do not get in the way…
-
Sorry, I think I saw it, but am easily distracted with a very busy semester. I tend not to reply if I can't figure out what to say in about 10 seconds ;-) Will take another look though.
-
Can we please remove the honorific title example ("Prof. ...") from consideration here? That sort of stuff is a different issue, and not really relevant for citations in any case.
-
With all due respect, I believe it would benefit the user community to have more say--or at least more insight--in what criteria are used to determine what is and what is not "warranted." Your users might be better informed about particular concerns…
-
I really have no strong opinions on this, but have two questions: First, for people who might be more familiar with the field, is there any user-interface research out there that might provide support for this proposal? Second, how would you exte…
-
Yeah, good point. But do we need to do more so people see that page?
