Not AFAIK; I believe this is a bug that I've noted before.
-
rintze: you're on the right track that robust global identifiers are important (even critical) to solving this problem of citation portability. But it's also true that DOIs only work for contemporary journal articles, and so miss a whole lot. It's f…

FWIW, and notwithstanding any possible bugs in Zotero, you're mappings are incorrect. "Code" should map to "container-title" (I think it now does in the dev version), "codeNumber" to "volume" (I think!), and "PublicLawNum" to "number" (again, not to…

sean: my comment about the limitations of zotero on this count was not a mistake. Take a look at the example I posted and tell me how zotero can possibly store a) different names (in different languages) for the same contributor, and b) different ti…

That's cool Dan; just reminding us all not to forget the forest, and encouraging others to help if they can. Don't mean to pick on Trevor. BTW, there are a couple of things that I don't see support for, both of which are common in some areas of the…

It would be great could say we support more of these. First, I'm uneasy with placing so much emphasis on a single field. There are still missing "base" styles (Turabian comes to mind, as well as the two Bluebook styles) that we need before worrying …
-
Ideally, anything like this needs to be able to support a) organization names (ABC, Inc.), b) non-Western personal names where sort order is reversed (family given), and c) multiple family and given names
-
So find someone else to do it. I neither have the time nor the skill to do it (I don't work with MS stuff). I also don't think you should expect Zotero developers (which I am not) to be responsible for it. This might be a good candidate for a sepa…

Not ATM. It should be possible to write a little script to do this, but I don't think anyone has.
-
There's a plan to move to a more relational model, where rather than having, say, an article with a bunch of essentially dumb fields, you have an article linked to a journal. The journal then becomes a full object. Of course, one could make that m…
-
The fields work, but the type itself is another of these problematic types in Zotero. The problem is actually not that it's only "broad" (as mark characterizes it), but that it's both too broad AND too narrow. It is broad WRT to the expression t…
-
I'd say the workaround is to split the PDFs. Or maybe just include links to the combined file? maybe one could add the fields "Journal" and "Magazine" to the drop-down menu. Especially also useful for journals and their special editions. I don't thi…

Manually create the list by copying-and-pasting the formatted entries into the document.
-
Try instead of copying-and-pasting opening the file within the word-processor. I've not tried, but have a hunch it'll work better.
-
Not sure how Zotero updates styles ATM (daily? individually when they change? along with other updates?), but I just added it to the repository version.
-
Zotero already supports abbreviated titles.
-
I "cite press releases and other odd unpublished documents today" as well, so to the extend we have different opinions on this, it can't be reduced to that. In my view a press release is an informally published document; not a manuscript. If the Wh…
-
Right now, Zotero is not designed to be terribly international-friendly in this way. But I don't think it'd be that hard to extend to support this. It basically needs support for different kinds of titles, and ways to assign them language tags. It …
-
Why do you need "Document" if you have "Manuscript"? I'd turn that around. Am still not convinced there's any utility in having a manuscript type, particularly if there's a decent implementation of the more relational model. A manuscript is nothing …
-
Hmm ... seems a little strange to treat an abstract as a note? It's a property of the resource, not commentary by a user/reader/note-taker? Moreover, DC and other formats support it out-of-box as a literal property.
-
1) what Zotero does on import is appropriate it seems to me. Zotero is a modern application with unicode support, so there's no reason to be, for example, using ASCII characters to represent en-dashes. The question is, what do they do on export? Ob…
-
It doesn't. But the Document UI could use a "type" field so that users can enter "press release."
-
How would you enter data within a Word document? Where would we find it? and How we recognise it? The data would get stored in a dedicated file. If you look, for example, at a docx file with citations, there's a file called something like bibliograp…
-
For the record ... On 2, since a court reporter and a code are basically periodicals, they need abbreviated fields as well.
-
Corollary: I cannot recommend Zotero to any of my colleagues. As I said, this is a free software project: stop complaining and help fix it. You did with your careful bug report, which is why I'm disappointed to see this kind of rhetoric. Recognize…
-
"Zotero is buggy"??? WTF lemur; are you serious, or a troll? You told me on another thread to stop being defensive; I'm telling you here to stop using inflammatory language like this. This project is a free software project and (I hope) a collabora…
-
lemur: I'm not being defensive, if you mean an irrational rejection of criticism. I'm not even contesting that Zotero might have some problems in this area, since I've previously seen them myself (though encoding problems are all over the place on t…
-
I don't think it makes much sense to embed the data in the field, particularly given how common it is to have multiple citations refer to the same source. I do think it's sensible to embed data in the file package in OOXML and OpenDocument, howeve…
-
I don't know; this looks to me like a rather typical closed platform. I have a feeling the best you could hope for some kind of export functionality that would allow you to export notes. But from reading the website (which is all marketing fluff; no…

Sean: that's odd. I reproduced it easily, using the latest dev xpi. Export the library to RDF, open file, observe article resources with two dc:title properties, where one refers to the resource, and the other refers to the related publication resou…
