  • What do you mean by "appropriately process"? You can modify the article details from the Zotero panel... To my way of thinking Zotero is doing the right thing with the information it is receiving from IEEE: not modifying it heuristically but just c…
  • Thanks for that. The roadmap is fairly terse so its a bit hard to tell what usage models have been considered. I can also see a case for having a thin "back-end" database interface spec to allow institutions to roll their own zotero compatible…
  • See also http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2107/bibtex-book-chapter-title/ You are not the first to post this one. I'm sure however it would be a simple fix... Looking at my scrapers.sql there already seems to be a fix.
  • I'm after the ACS style documented here http://citesource.trincoll.edu/acs/index.html. Is it the same as the dev style PHG-ACS (think it was PHG)... no PGH-ACS http://www.zotero.org/styles/jacs/dev. Thanks
  • My experience: Firstly the document opened fine and was editable except for the zotero citations. Upon any attempt to edit these error dialogues started opening complaining about not being able to communicate with zotero. I'm not sure exa…
  • Only readability as far as I know. I personally had not encountered the verbose form so you are starting to stretch my knowledge as a latex user. I had initially assumed it was a XML hybrid thing but it looks like it is a newer latex thing. Looks…
  • In the diff view here: https://www.zotero.org/trac/attachment/ticket/1020/scrapers.diff the new / corrected entries look like they are out of order in the table. I guess that's where my confusion arose. And yes I was looking at the zotero-&…
  • yes... had to remove duplicates. Might be just a problem with me not using the latest repository version. At lest I know where to go now to fix things :-)
  • just looking over the patch. Not sure how the mappingTable structure is used but mine contains: "\u201C":"{\\textquotedblleft}", // LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK "\u201D":"{\\textquotedblright}", // RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK and …
  • Thanks heaps. That's truly amazing turnaround :-) Take the point on 4. Keywords is non-standard in bibtex anyway Re 1,2 I understand the complexity of this. I've been using last,first in all my bibtex because it is the least ambiguous a…
  • So to take stock here is a list of bibtex import and export issues that should (?) have a bug/ticket/whatever raised for them. I have left out a couple of smaller issues that, in retrospect, may not be bugs (such as no doi for reports): 1. Zot…
  • Sure hope this is useful to someone... @ARTICLE{pkey, author = {First von Last and von Last, First and von Last, Jr, First}, title = {paper-title}, journal= {journal-name}, year = {2008}, volume = {15}, number = {5}, pa…
  • for more discussion on the extra space see here http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2252/ WRT every document being a web document I respectfully disagree... let me explain my perspective: Just because a document is made available on the ne…
  • BTW the IEEE style manual does explicitly talk about online sources from page 10. "C. On-Line Sources The guidelines for citing electronic information as offered here are in modified illustration of the adaptation by the International Standar…
  • The handling of URL's is the weakest bit I think. To be honest I'm not sure what is best to do here. But I do think that the traditional citation details are preferable for a printed form and that the URL should only appear when its needed. By de…
  • Oh... and the following lines also prevent extra spacing between entries: + + Now its starting to work for me :-)
  • I finally worked out how to hack the csl files... Here is a patch for the ieee style that reports the details of technical reports (and some other small mods). The base style is fairly simplistic so I can't guarantee there will not be cases where …
  • Here is today's installment: a conference paper. @inproceedings{pkey, author = {First von Last and von Last, First and von Last, Jr, First}, title = {paper-title}, booktitle = {proceedings-title}, year = {2008}, editor = {von …
  • I'll try and do one entry type at a time. Here is a test techreport entry @techreport{ key, author = {First von Last and von Last, First and von Last, Jr, First}, title = {The Title}, type = {Example Report}, number = {EG123}, …
  • Thanks for pointing that out! I feel blind now :-( This is definitely what is going on then as most of my bibtex entries do not contain page numbers. Unfortunately the also often include URL fields which are only relevant on my intranet. Not…
  • Hi, I'm in a similar position. Want to use zotero but my primary citation database is in bibtex and I want to import it rather than regenerate it in zotero. Because you picked a good thread name I'd like to propose we use this thread to d…
  • Thanks for pointing out that option... my problem seems to be that the zotero plugin for word (which I am using here and all comment relates to the citation and bibliographic data inserted by this plugin) isn't honoring it. I'm sure I am up-to-date…
  • Hmmm That's far too laborious for those of us who have imported large databases from bibtex that have URL fields. I just want to add a voice to the "please add some option to control inclusion of optional fields and especially URL in the biblio…
  • IEEE would do the job as I am mostly doing technical writing and I notice the harvard style (the other I would typically tdurn to for author-date citation) doesn't make explicit mention of technical reports (its bibtex implementation does). I n…
  • Please please.... I'd love to have just one style that correctly supports citation of technical reports, quoting their institution and type and report number. I have outlined my particular case in this thread http://forums.zotero.org/discussio…
  • I am unable to find any zotero format that correctly handles technical report entries. This is a pretty important class of documents. Most of mine are imported from bibtex and look a bit like these: http://www.cerfacs.fr/algor/reports/algo_repor…
