The 2.0 syncing is great for accessing your database remotely from a public computer, just by logging in to zotero.org. But is there a way to add items remotely, without having to: a) install zotero 2.0 (if your library even uses firefox) b) add yo…

Sounds like the date issue might be solved with the new CSL processor - http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/6111?page=1#Item_11 Hopefully it's due any day now!

Hey sorry Matt - it's my terse Aussie humour! Clearly an expression that doesn't translate - that's my etiquette violation not yours! Yes I just meant that trying the new version is usually the first thing to do - and the only way to find out if i…

Hi Dan, I totally agree with you (and yes the y-m-d indicator showing how it's been parsed would be wonderful and very intuitive) How are date ranges handled? See this forum request for a use case.

I guess someone who knows how to fiddle with the Macro's in CSL (not me) would be able to fix the first problem fairly easily. The relevant CSL fields are "archive" and "archive_location". The date issue is probably harder. Zotero has a clever w…

Here's some free style guide references for software citation: APA: http://www.cws.illinois.edu/workshop/writers/citation/apa/software/ http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/10/ MLA: http://www.library.american.edu/subject/MLA.pdf (at th…

Frank, Just to confirm re our discussion of June 13, Chicago MOS replied to my query and say that yes, Chicago disambiguate primary author only, and the initial separator is ". " And when you get a chance could you post that standard list of refer…

If you follow Adam Smith's instructions, you'll be right. For simple stuff like this, you generally only need to change the and sections at the very top (to make it a new style), and the sections (usually near the bottom) marked as and The various …

Some tips to make the CSL easier: Don't use the preview pane directly for more complex stuff like this, copy and paste everything from the pane into a new text file, make your changes there, then paste it back in to see what happens. Notepad++ is…

Suck it and see? And report back please.

Thanks - edited the above for clarity!

No it's not. Disambiguation should only be by adding a,b,c etc. to the year: See the two Nunez papers cited in this free article for an example http://www.esajournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1890/08-2139.1 If you are desperate for it now, you can edit the…

Hi Simon, I feel your pain - me too. Are you happy with editing the CSL yourself? If so, then Rintze's suggestion above make the first name problem totally go away (though if you do have a John Smith 2001 and Jeff Smith 2001, they will look the …

Hey - sorry for not RTFM - I just noticed Tips and Tricks no 3. (Hold down Ctrl.)

Is it possible to find out which collection your items are in? e.g. if you do a search for "Obama" in the overall "My Library", and three duplicate papers by Obama come up, can I find out which Collection they are hiding in? (before I go ahead and …

Thanks Dan - didn't notice that had turned itself off during the upgrade. Enabled them, restarted, and we're back up and running. While I've got you here, can I ask about sorting of styles at the repository!? See http://forums.zotero.org/discuss…

Me too - same problem. Happened straight after the upgrade to 3.5 Did you get to the bottom of this? She was working fine before - I've worked through the obvious issues with no joy yet.
-
for Dan Stillman! It would be really great if you could add a quick filter to the Style repository when you have a moment. Searching through hundreds of styles is a real pain. (re: your comment of Dec 3 2008 above)
-
Hi Frank, Works perfectly thanks! I've added a note in the wiki (csl syntax summary page).
-
I'd agree with this. In fact I think a Styles FAQ would be a great help. The current requesting_styles page is very good, but there are several other questions which seem to come up, and it would be ideal to have them in one place. Initial sugges…

I second the request for http://cat.inist.fr It's very comprehensive.

The APA Style Guide to Electronic References in June 2007 made DOI an official part of the citation. (http://books.apa.org/books.cfm?id=4210509) See more here: (http://ksulib.typepad.com/talking/2008/03/recent-changes.html) The new offic…

Now on to the Zotero issue! I agree with Bruce that the most common problem is likely to be with full names vs. initials, with middle initials absent or present. Thus if "J. Doe", "Jeff Doe", "Jeffrey Q. Doe", "J.Q. Doe" (and even "J…

Hi Bruce and Frank, Here's what I've come up with: APA Style guide, 5th ed. (p.211 sec.3.98): Disambiguate primary author only, use all initials, separate initials with ". " MLA Handbook 5th ed. (NOT MOST RECENT) (p.205 sec.5.2) D…

I'm currently armed with about 8 kg of Style manuals, and 'easy guide to' manuals, and I'm trying to sort it out! The easy guides usually do not discuss enough special cases to make the rules clear, and the official style guides are often ambig…

Section 3.98 of the 5th Edition states: If a reference list includes publications by two or more primary authors with the same surname, include the first authors initials in all text citations, even if the year of publication differs. Initials…

Just delete the whole line. Unfortunately a bug means value="anything" turns it on, including "false" ! I've just written a post about this, and a suggestion that some of the default styles have given names turned off, at least for now. ht…

Yes, noksagt, your suggestion of Oct 19th 2008 is very much what I had in mind, to make identifying the closest matching style as easy as possible. The bdarcus full web app suggestion would be ideal! Dan also mentioned the development of a w…

Brilliant! Thanks. Tested and working fine. It is actually still incorrect as per their style guide: Subsequent listings of the same author (or authors) should have "three successive “em” dashes" i.e. "———" instead of the author. This…
