Thanks for getting back. I need to get to the bottom of this, since for many reasons I switched to Zotero after working extensively in EndNote and Refworks. I also have extensive teaching commitments, where my students constantly ask me about refere…
-
This is about the "the 'a' and 'b' problem", about which I was in touch last week. As I explained, I have eight chapters to my PhD thesis - all using Zotero citations and references. I spent two days last week going through each chapter, deleting …
-
OK, thanks, will try this.
-
Thanks. I don't think I have any alternative but to work through the same deletion and re insertion routine. After each one of these, in 'Add/Edit Bibliography' I will ensure I remove the duplicate reference, so there's only one left in the bibliogr…
-
Thank you. Though I don't mind using this approach as a 'workaround', with the number of duplicates involved, it may not take my much longer to delete and reinsert duplicates - if I can be sure that these won't reappear. Is there any way that I can…
-
For the complete thesis there's probably 30 to 50 duplicates, but each one of these may be replicated up to 20 to 30 times in a chapter - the same number I removed yesterday. How do I get to the Zotero Word Add On? I have another button on my Zotero…

Sorry, that should be 'I can't see how this will work'
-
Sorry I don't understand what you mean by 'remove field codes'? I have a 110,000 word thesis so anything will take time. If I do 'search and replace' and, for example, search for '1999a' to be replaced by '1999', I can see how this will work. Afte…

Adam. Thanks for getting back. By 'reload' I mean I just opened the same file which I'd closed yesterday. I can't understand how many of the duplicates which I'd deleted and reinserted from 'My Library' yesterday, as you advised, have now reappeared…

Dear Adam Smith and Colleagues. This is about "the 'a' and 'b' problem". I have eight chapters to my thesis - all using Zotero citations and references. I spent the whole of Wednesday 10 January going through each chapter and deleting, then reinse…
-
Adam. Many thanks. That works and it's great.
-
Thanks, Gurdas and bwiernik. Will try your suggestions.
-
bwiernik and colleagues. I now work frequently using Zotero library transfers between two desktops, using Zotero sync for Chrome. But I'm still having trouble. Though each desktop is kept up to date using this sync, this doesn't appear to transfe…
-
Thanks. That's good.
-
Thanks for getting back. OK. So you mean simply delete items which were not added today?
-
Thanks for getting back. Before syncing from my first machine, I tried deleting the existing library on my second machine, but there was no menu option to do this. When you suggest "sort your library by date added", where is the menu option for this…
-
Just had first opportunity of executing as you suggest. Zotero sync works, except that downloaded library from Zotero sync now duplicates existing library on second machine. I now have double my original library items. While manually I can go throug…
-
Thanks for this, which will try and see how it works.
-
Thanks for this. a) If I simply download Zotero 5, will this change any of the collections of subcollections in my Library? b) my previous experience of using a USB to transfer my Library between machines is that the collection and subcollection…
-
Dear All. A fascinating series of comments. Like many colleagues, having fled from EndNote and RefWorks, I'm totally dependent on Zotero and and am pondering downloading Zotero 5. I use a standalone version and carry my Library of more than 3000 re…
-
Adam. Thanks again. I think I've found a way to do it. If I need to move the text which includes the citation - for example, to another page - I now ensure that the footnote moves with the citation. Provided that I ensure that, alongside the cit…
-
Adam. Thanks for getting back. While your response works OK - and I'd worked that out - it doesn't work if you need to move the citation in the text because the footnote doesn't move with it. You need to do that manually. I could do both in RefWorks…
