  • marsh-- Zotero already provides capability for cross-referencing and taking notes, and many features that are missing right now (such as notes formatting or sorting of child notes independently from sources) will be added eventually. It's true, cer…
  • You can export the notes you need together with their parents and siblings, then manually delete the sources and notes you don't need. Otherwise, there is no way.
  • Ticket already exists.
  • Fredrik-- Ok, it seems Zotero uses different RIS tags for export than Endnote. Thanks for letting me know--I'll fix this shortly in Scribe. Could you email me your Zotero RIS export file at digitalhistory@storytelling.concordia.ca, so I can test the…
  • if they are published in a book, use "book section" (or "book" if a play is published as a book); if they are not published use "manuscript."
  • It would be nice to be able to drag-and-drop short references as well--right now I can copy a footnote reference when I choose Chicago note style "without Bibliography" but if I choose Chicago "with Bibliography" I can only copy the bibliographic re…
  • This may be the problem: "PY - 1948-51" (two-digit year after the dash), but this has been fixed in the dev version.
  • "Assuming I'm right, though, then my feature requests would include: sorting, searching, exporting and generating reports *on notes* as independent database items." This, by-and-large, already exists. Well, not really, because Zotero users can neit…
  • bruce--it works for me--try updating your scrapers.
  • Bruce-- "Well, no new field is required because Spivak would be just another creator--only a creator type needs to be added (unless this point refers to a World plugin field rather than a Zotero field, in which case, never mind). This seems to be im…
  • I also miss the ability to automatically create a footnote from a note. We discussed the page number "field" for citation here. I was asking for this: It would also be great if control-clicking on that cite [currently source title on top of the not…
  • If Spivak's introduction is what's being cited, then yes, it should be cited and listed in the bibliography as a book section, but otherwise maybe "with introduction by Spivak" could just be entered in the book's edition field. If so, no new field i…
  • You're still showing a fragment of a bibliography; not a citation. Is there some place in the text where you see an actual citation like "(AT&T Archives)"? But, for example, I wouldn't expect if this was automated in Zotero that you would be m…
  • Great example. I guess I sort of stand corrected, though will just note those aren't really citations per se; more like grouped lists of sources. Just to remove all doubt--here are the first two pages of a bibliography including formatted manuscript…
  • I still stand by my point though, that periodicals and collections are not ever cited as such. Here are the first three pages of a bibliography beginning with a section of manuscript collections and another one of periodicals. This is from: Charles…
  • Ticket created. I don't feel strongly about including it (or not) in CSL, but there is no reason not to add a creator type for storing this data. In some cases author of introduction is particularly important (Spivak's introduction to Derrida's Of G…
  • Well, it doesn't matter to me--for me, "manuscript" is perfectly adequate for citing any unpublished source, and "book" or "book section" can be hacked to store much more of the information for any published source than "document". I'm just not sure…
  • djkaiser--Use "manuscript"--there is a field for type of manuscript where you can put "play manuscript" or something like that. In most cases, "manuscript" is appropriate for any unpublished source, including a play manuscript or study guide. Bruce…
  • David-- All the cards, keywords, and relationships will be exported. In most cases, there is no loss of data at all--for card types on the second, "not in Zotero," list, the information just goes into a different field, Extra or Abstract. For examp…
  • michellej--to add to dan's suggestion--you may also want to try this: tag all the works that will go into your dissertation bibliography with something like "diss", then create a saved search on this tag, then use "Create Bibliography From Collectio…
  • Scribe 3.4 for Mac and Windows is now available for download. The Scribe to Zotero Transition page includes more specific instructions on how to export to Zotero, and explains how the export migrates data from fields and item types not yet available…
  • another zotero size & speed issue: i tried to add a tag to 1108 items at the same time and the process of moving them over the tag took forever--I had to up dom.max_chrome_script_run_time to 100 to get rid of the firefox error. when i try to mo…
  • A ticket has been added for fine-tuning various reports issues. To begin brainsorming this Dan S. asked me to post an HTML mockup for possible formatting of notes reports. Here it is: Right now if I need to print two selected child notes in a r…
  • related report issues: it would also be nice to be able to select and export into a report a particular note or selected notes from a source (rather than a source with all of its child items), as described in two forum posts here.
  • well, with tabs now possible within a note, couldn't you just do this: 1. ... [tab] i. ... [tab][tab] a. ... my understanding is that people want rich-text notes to preserve the formatting of the source--italics in a quotation from a book, for exam…
  • CB--Can you explain how in your case "related" doesn't work for linking notes to other notes? Do you mean it's "not the same" as wiki-like links from within a note, or something else? Outlining capability would be nice (not within a note but an out…
  • thanks, dan! i set both dom.max_chrome_script_run_time and max_chrome_script_run_time to 30--hopefully that will work.
  • I just got several error messages after I "dragged and dropped" 640 images at once into Zotero. All images imported fine, but because there were so many of them, every 50 or so images Firefox asked me whether I wanted to abort the script. I had to h…
  • Changing the order of name entries makes good sense to me too--others have already proposed this here. The obvious use case is when one duplicates a book item to enter a chapter from an anthology: the article author has to be first, so one has to de…
