  • You are experiencing expected behavior. The page annotations and the notes are currently distinct. So what you are seeing is exactly what Zotero currently does. With that said, there is a ticket to combine them. https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/…
  • It looks like this was resolved, at least it works for me. Try updating your BibTeX translator. Click the Update Now button in the General pane of the Zotero prefs.
  • If you click on the "View Snapshot" button in the right column your PDF should open through whatever program either your browser or OS uses to open PDFs. What happens when you click on the "View Snapshot" button?
  • You can currently only rename items in the right column. A while back we had someone request the ability to rename titles in the middle pane, but if I remember right it was just one person. If there is enough interest, a good argument for it, and a …
  • Zotero 2.0 will allow you to access and to some extent manipulate your collection through a web interface. When this feature launches you should be able to interact with your collection through your iPhone.
  • There is currently no way to batch import items from a site which Zotero does not have a translator. So if you are just importing all the linked pages from some random site you will need to employ the right click "save link as Zotero snapshot" metho…
  • I just tried your link and it worked fine. It looks like Biomicrofluidics embeds COinS metadata. Is anyone else having trouble with this article?
  • I was able to capture individual references, but not lists of references. Were you logged into the library catalog through a proxy?
  • Have you closed Firefox yet? If yes, then there is nothing that can be done. If no, you can most likely reinstate your collection as it was when you last closed Firefox. If you have not closed Firefox yet you can retreive the back-up of your colle…
  • Both of those links saved abstracts for me. Can you both make sure you have the most up to date translators. Click the Update Now button in the Zotero preferences.
  • You can set the bibliography locale by typing about:config into the Firefox address bar, looking for extensions.zotero.export.bibliographyLocale, and entering an appropriate locale code. For example, to use English, set it to en-US. See the chrome m…
  • I just tried the link you posted and the URL worked fine. The journal abbreviation for that particular article is not available so there is sadly nothing to import.
  • I'm not sure if George Mason University has a different subscription to Web of Science, but when I visited WoS here I did not see the "All Databases" tab. It may well be because we only subscribe to three of their collections. If you want to try f…
  • I don't really see a reason that it would make a difference which way you go. The only thing I would note is that the 1.5 release of Zotero will require Firefox 3, and there is a strong chance that it will be quite some time before that release is a…
  • You can most likely use a general item type like document. For example, most of the information you list is common to most of the items. From what I can see it looks like these are how your fields break down. Author: World Values Survey Group Dat…
  • What kind of system are you using? I just printed out a page with annotations and highlighting on my Mac and the annotations came through just fine. I just created a ticket for the second request, making annotations visible as child items. See htt…
  • 1. Although collaboration is not the ultimate use case for Zotero 1.5 some research groups are already using the Sync Preview for that purpose. For the time being this will be an excellent means for small groups of scholars to collaborate. In the l…
  • There is currently no way to batch edit item information. When Zotero moves to a more hierarchical relationship between items this should become a bit easier, but for the time being you will need to edit on an item by item basis.
  • It sounds like you want to manually add items to your collection. See the info under maunal additions or watch the screencast on manually adding items.
  • There are plans to eventually roll in that kind of feature. See the links and my response here http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/3396/
  • If the style is roughly similar to the ASA style you might try editing it yourself a little. If you paste chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul into your browser's location bar you can load up the ASA style and preview references from your colle…
  • Your idea for making one bilingual tag sounds like a solid solution. Another nice thing about this is that you can use the tag selector to globally edit your tags. So if you change the "riches" tag and the "riqueza" tags to "riches riqueza" you will…
  • There is currently no way to work with original dates of publication. There is a outstanding ticket for this but it will most likely not be taken care of until the more hierarchical data model is incorporated into Zotero.
  • @ asdir You have the CSL files for each of the styles you already can use on your local machine. Aside from the style generator Sean mentioned you can also play around with the basic live editor included in Zotero. See this thread for more info lau…
  • It looks like the problem only occurs when a work has only a translator. The MLA translator is wedging in the translator for a second time in place of the author. Can you point our a example of what should happen in this case? Is the translator supp…
  • I can't replicate this issue. Are you running any other Firefox Extensions? If so could you disable them in see if the problem continues. If that does not help could you try to isolate the fewest number of steps to recreate the problem and report ba…
  • Citation Style Language.
  • It sounds like you are doing the right thing, but here are some things you can double check. Make sure you are using the right zotero.sqlite file. Make sure the file you are using is larger than the blank zotero.sqlite file that Zotero recreates if …
  • What format did you export from Endnote?
  • You should still be able to merge the two libraries by exporting and importing. It is just not recommended as a best practice for working with two collections. Try exporting the smaller of the two collections in Zotero RDF. If you have trouble expor…
