Zotero generally isn't the best when it comes to legal citation, there's a post about it in the documentation: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/legal_citations . At the bottom of that link it looks like there's some guidance for OSCALA. There is a…

The github link that @damnation shared is for updating the french version of the McGill Guide - there are technically two styles, english & french. I have just been working with the English, I imagine french is very similar but I havent looked a…

Just wanted to update that it looks like the PR was merged, I just tested it out and the bug has been removed! Thank you!

for 1 - This is very odd, but solved the issue. In one of the examples I am looking at, I didn't even have anything in the "section" item field, but the "extra" field had the words " Section: News " in it, which was enough to trigger the function, s…

Bumping @rafisic's suggestion! I'd say 95% of the PDFs I import do not have any outline, so the "show outline" function in the PDF viewer is useless. Of the remaining PDFs that do have outlines, most are messed up and don't accurately outline the …

@martynas_b thanks for bringing my attention that the numbers themselves weren't OCR'd, I didn't notice that!

@damnation I can see that the McGill Guide has been updated to the 10th edition. It appears to include the "library catalogue" error in journal citations that I highlighted in my last comment (first item). Haven't yet tested the other issues I high…

@dstillman Hey there! Sent that email a few days ago. Hope it's alright to clarify - is the purpose of sending for your team purely for training the software to improve its page detection in future updates? Can expect to get my hands on a version of…

Hey there - I am finding that the automatic page numbering is quite inconsistent in my library - some PDFs work great, and others are simply not recognizing the on-page numbering. Is there something that I can do to help Zotero recognize the correct…

@tim820 Zotmoov is what I was looking for!! Had to putter around for a little while figuring things out, but I just freed up 7% of my storage from moving a single attachment. Thrilled to find this tool, thank you!
-
I'll see if I can figure out how I did that in the first place and report back :) Does the "import the resulting PDF as a copy instead of as a file link" make a difference as to whether the new PDF is stored in the zotero storage?
-
@aborel gotcha. Do you mind walking me through what parts of the ZoteroOCR preferences will do that? Is it just the "output pdf dpi" setting, or will adjusting the other settings make a difference? These are my settings at the moment: https://s3.a…

Hello there. I see the issue is still open. I started using Zotero OCR a few months ago and have maxed out my Zotero cloud storage. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for how to deal with this - how do you use this plug-in without maxing out?
-
@dstillman back in November I upgraded to 2gb, but I have hit that limit now. I'm a little perplexed as to how that happened, but I am going through to try to remove some bigger files. I figured out how to use my windows search tools in the "storage…
-
@moniqabeatty You are citing an Act, which is synonymous with Statute - see your AUT link, first line under the header "Acts (Statutes)". The issue isn't the item type, but that your specific instructions deviate from typical APA style. APA's cit…
-
Not sure exactly what @bwiernik is referring to as I don't have "legislation" as an option, I assume they mean the "Statute" item type (at least in Zotero 7). APA uses the n.d. is the placeholder when there is no date available. Check the data of t…

I am getting this as well. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it but figured I would add some details about my experience in case it helps you identify why it is occuring. I am working with a large document, so I've turned off automatic upda…
-
Bumping this thread - I was going to raise the same issue. It would be great if I could select which is the "main"/default child item - Is the complication related to the fact that the first child item typically adopts the file name from the parent?…
-
thank you for directing me to these things!! I'll be sure to back up as well, have a USB I'll leave safe at home AND a USB I'll take with me.
-
this worked, thank you very much!
-
Edit: just realized I can just put the stuff from the "extra" field into the "code" field and that fixes it... I know it's not really using Zotero as designed but works for McGill Guide. so suppose you can consider this resolved, I just can't figure…

NOTE: Why isn't there any Metadata? I'm following the advice from the University of Victoria School of Law on how to optimize Zotero for the McGill Guide: https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u4655716/6z8ikjtwq891d9gxonw9.png

@adamsmith that did the trick!!! Thank you so much
-
@dstillman thank you for clarifying this! It sounds like iPadd app's best usability is working WITHIN the library (ie: researching, reading, editing sources) but not quite as good for the writing/citation aspect of the process. I appreciate your hel…

@.meia @library_chic there seems to be some information about how to use the "extra" place for book review & music score: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields#citing_fields_from_extra perhaps you already are aware, but figured…
-
@adamsmith incredible! I initially doubted thinking it would come out as [John, Jr. Smith] but it looks correct in the main citation. Thanks for bringing this tip to my attention!
-
thanks!

@damnation can you advise how I can change back to the 9th edition? I'd prefer to use that for my work until 10th ed is all sorted out :)

not sure if screenshots showed up properly, here they are again: 1) example of library catalogue issue in journal articles: https://s3.amazonaws.com/zotero.org/images/forums/u4655716/m71gr0oqflkep1z92boo.png 2) example of newspaper location issue …

removing the citations & adding back fixed them, thanks! I tested out the 10th edition, I put my comments on them https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/458861#Comment_458861 since it seems like the more appropriate forum, hope that's oka…
