  • can you export the reference you are having trouble with in Zotero RDF and email it to me, trevor@zote...org
  • Try reseting your translators and styles (you can find that button in the preferences). If that does not work try upgrading to the loadtest build. Read Dan's comment on that here.
  • which style are you using?
  • Are you using the article icon in the location bar or are you clicking the "Create New Item from Current page button?" in the Zotero toolbar? Some new users get the two confused. The create new item button is for archiving web pages, and the icons i…
  • I have updated the documentation on reports to include 19 of the most useful examples for changing the sort order.
  • I think you may be running the search backwards. "Match ALL of the following" should give you a more narrow set of items, only those items that match each of the criteria. "Match ANY of the following" will give you wider results, namely every item t…
  • This is a frequent request and if you search through the forums a bit you can find some good discussions. For example this thread about Freemind. In general it seems that working on plugins to connect Zotero to mindmaping software would be the best …
  • most of this request, or at least something that accomplishes most of this request, has now been implemented in the dev build. See this thread.
  • What fields do these inserts have that are not satisfied by something like generic document or manuscript types?
  • This issue should have been resolved with Zotero 1.0.4. Make sure you are running the most up to date version of Zotero. If you haven't automatically been prompted to upgrade just re-download it from the homepage. If the problem persists with the mo…
  • I just tried the article you linked to and it worked fine. Try the "update now" button in your preferences pane.
  • At some point you must have added the open office plugin. You can get the same functionality with the word plugin.
  • The drag and drop function is trying to make a citation out of your note. So Zotero is taking the title created from the first line of the text and trying to generate a bibliographic reference for it. There have been a few suggestions to change th…
  • I just grabbed several items from http://www.emeraldinsight.com and they all came through just fine. Could you try resetting your translators and styles from the preferences pane and see if that resolves your issue? If you are still having trouble …
  • We pushed out some fixes for the innoPAC translator that should resolve these issues. Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero prefs. If you continue …
  • It sounds like you deleted your data. Firefox saves personal information such as bookmarks, passwords, and user preferences in the profile which is stored in a separate location from the Firefox program files. The zotero.sqlite file you saw is the Z…
  • A recent fix to the SSRN translator should have resloved your issue. The paper you linked too now works just fine for me. Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane o…
  • Yesterday a fix for ingentaconnect was pushed out. Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero prefs.
  • Does this happen in any kind of repeatable fashion? Does it happen consistently with one web page that you are archiving? If there is a way to replicate your issue we will be worlds closer to resolving it.

  • At first glance it looks similar to the National Library of Medicine style. However your best bet is probably to ask BioMed themselves or just play around with some of the Science styles and see which get you the best results.
  • I just tried grabbing a few items from OvidSP and they imported quite nicely, so lets see if we cannot iron this out. @ Aoconnor, can you post a URL and the search criteria for one of the items where the dates and pages are switched? @ ramonycaj…

  • When you are creating bibliographies those terms come from the given citation style you are using. All the styles are written in CSL and you can play around with changing these through CSLedit, paste chrome://zotero/content/tools/csledit.xul into yo…
  • A fix for Time.com was just pushed out. Your copy of Zotero should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Now in the General pane of the Zotero prefs.
  • Thanks this should now be fixed.
  • A fix for the Factiva translator was recently pushed out. You should receive it within the next twenty four hours.
  • There are two problems in what you have described. First you can only highlight text on archived pages, second you can only use the highlighting and annotation features with HTML documents. Now, if you download the PDF, which you can do automatica…
  • If you've noted the references you used in your Zotero collection you could use Zotero's native "create bibliography function" to create a bibliography that contains all the references you have used. If you haven't done that, another option would …
  • If you are interested in translating some of the development documentation by all means go ahead. A good convention for URLs would be to just add the two character abreviation to the namespace as follows. The french translation of http://dev.zotero.…
  • We just pushed out a enhancement for the ACM translator which pulls in abstracts as well. You should get it within the next 24 hours.
  • A fix for the ACM translator was pushed out yesterday, you should receive it within twenty four hours. If the problem persists please report it back here.
