  • Adam, Can you change the Ecology style to include book series?
  • Adam, I wrote to the Ecology journal editors and they said: "The last part of the citation should read: Geological Society of America Special Paper 431, Boulder, Colorado, USA. Best wishes, Anne Marie" So, including the…
  • Dan: I tested out editing author names (and other fields) while in Search For Everything mode and it was fast. No delay like before. Thanks for getting this fixed. Now I can just leave it in Everything mode. I'll let you know if I run into the is…
  • Dan, I didn't know to look for the "Title, Creator, Year" option. Searching using that option appears to fix the editing slow-down issue. When I go back to the "everything" option it takes forever to register the edit, whereas, when I switch t…
  • Dan, Sorry for the delay. I have resorted to hitting the cancel search button before editing citations. Doing this fixes the slow-down, but it is clunky when I need to, say, standardize all the occurrences of an author's name for every art…
  • I'm having a similar problem, and have been ever since using Zotero a couple years ago. When I do a quick search, then try to edit the citation information, Zotero locks up for awhile. It happens in both Filemaker and Standalone. I ran a debu…
  • Adam, About your reply on Sept. 25, regarding the author's first name initials. Currently, the USGS style will ALWAYS add the first name initials to every in-text citation, unless there is no other form of an author's first name corresponding t…
  • Adam, Thanks for fixing the comma issue for maps entered in the Journal type. Can you fix a few other issues? 1) The USGS standard is if the author does not give a middle initial that the authors full first name is written out. For e…
  • Adam, You are correct about the author initials. I finally found in the USGS STA that initials are to be used to prevent confusion. The extra comma before the page numbers could probably get removed easily with an if/then statement. If t…
  • AdamSmith: Thank you for making the USGS style. I work for the USGS and use the USGS style. Although you think it's stupid that the USGS made up it's own style, it's been in existence at least since 1950. What I understand is that the USGS dec…
  • Update: Now both of my computers are running Windows 7. The problem still exists. Whenever I use my laptop with my synced external drive and open Firefox with Zotero I get a disk error when I plug it back into my desktop. I understand Dan's …
  • Then why has it only happened while using Zotero? Twice I got disk errors after making extensive edits in Zotero and not working on anything else (on two different disks). The evidence strongly supports my assumption that Zotero is causing a probl…
  • Further details: The first citation I enter in a Word document is correctly formatted. But, when I add a second citation both the citations contain the initials.
  • I would like to use this Geological Society of America citation style but there is an issue with the in-text/short citation. The short citation includes the author's initials and first names: (J. M Amato et al., 2007) (M.J. Amato and Pavlis,…
