  • Thanks! Worked like a charm! One more quick question: I'd like to have individual citations separated by a carriage return rather than a semicolon, i.e., instead of : Darwin, “Provisional Hypothesis of Pangenesis”; Galton, “Hereditary Talent and C…
  • @mhucka or anyone else: When you move items (bibliographic data, attached PDFs, notes & annotations) into DT, how do you do it? Do you do it manually, or is there a way to have DT watch certain sectors of my Zotero db and update on the fly? btw…
  • My request is precisely to implement the "Everything" mode in Advanced Search. It's already implemented in the program; why can't it be added to A.S.? So for example one could have a saved search that hoovers up every item that carries a particular…
  • So here we are in 2021. Search for empty fields can be done with a wild card and Boolean NOT. Is there a way yet to search in any field for specific text? It's been THIRTEEN YEARS. Please don't make me say that Endnote does something better than Z…
  • Wow, thanks, I didn't know about Zutilo. That's super-helpful. You folks rock. Zotero rules.
  • Ah, I see. By various search/replaces, I got as far as a single-column list of the tags in my reference set. The UNIQUE() function is only available in online or subscription versions of Excel, the bastards. But I think I'll be able to work with thi…
  • Interesting question. Certainly, exporting your pdfs to qualitative analysis software like Atlas is one way to go, but that takes you beyond the scope of this forum. But I guess you could use a grounded approach to build a set of tags that you could…
  • Hm, I just did a clean test and it did work as expected. Was I just seeing (or not seeing) things? I swore tags disappeared on me. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out. Thanks for responding.
  • Sorry if I missed this in a previous comment, but when I merge two items, only the tags from the "master" are preserved. I'd have thought the tags from the two items would be combined. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks.
  • Yes! I have collections of saved searches -- e.g., saved with a tag that indicates a particular course I used that reference for. I now have 20+ searches for courses alone. Would love to be able to tuck them into a folder that I can collapse when br…
  • Hope this is still useful, even though this thread is a couple years old. Just figured this out. First, as suggested above, install the Chrome-Zotero connector. Then, if you have a reference in Google Scholar and you click the quotation mark, it bri…
