• Tried that. Didn't work. I've all but given up on Zotero too. I have to re-download every time, re-start computer and then it only works until next time I use it, and then I get the error message again. After two years of this nonsense, I am going t…

• I did use Ovid. Over 25000 results (in about 80 .ris files). S***

• I am having the same problem. I think it has arisen due to incorrect import from mass results files identified in a systematic review and exported as .bib or .ris files for import into Zotero. It is creating an unnecessary Editor field for journal a…

• Actually, looking at some of my groups - one of them is empty - no records showing up. I'm wondering if some have been 'deleted', either in reality or are just not showing up, and if the same has happened to My Library. Anyway. Will re-install and s…

• Hi Adam, no in both cases. I'm just going to re-download Zotero and see if that solves the problem. Thank you.

• There are hundreds of them. I'm afraid I don't have time to do that.

• Most of them are conference presentations, where the organisers have assigned a DOI to the compiled collection but not to individual presentations.

  in Duplicate Criteria Comment by drameadows April 2, 2019
• So if articles have the same DOI but wildly different titles and authors (e.g. for a conference abstract issue) they show up as duplicates? At least that's what I'm seeing. Wildly different titles (not all conf issues) are showing up as duplicates.

• Has this been implemented yet? Do we have an ETA? This is a nightmare when working with large collections with multiple subcollectoins.

• Done. Thank you.

  in Can't update document error message. Comment by drameadows February 20, 2019
• Just added blocks of text piecemeal until the problem recurred. Then typed the last paragraph in again by hand and added the references fresh. It was in the final paragraph. But not sure why copying and pasting that half of the document into a blank…

• OK, found the problem. But it was still 2-3 hours' work in total dealing with it. Do you know what causes these problems so I can reduce the chance of it happening in the future? And thanks so much for your help.

  in Can't update document error message. Comment by drameadows February 20, 2019
• Do you think this this something that is specific to the document or is there something wrong with one of the reference records in my Zotero library? If it's document specific, I am at the very end of this manuscript and can add the last few referen…

• It seemed to work fine in a new document, but no, I didn't identify the snippet. It worked in both halves.

• yes, this creator system is actually very neat, like you say. but not really intuitive.

  in author of edited dbook in book section Comment by drameadows November 2, 2018
• Yes, it does seem likely that after using reference management software for 15 years (Endnote, Reference Manager, Mendeley, and now Zotero), my extremely sudden difficulties at figuring out how to add the name of an editor to an edited book are due …

  in author of edited dbook in book section Comment by drameadows November 2, 2018
• Thank you Adam Smith. Didn't the editor field used to pop up automatically when you selected book? Or, wait, didn't there used to be an 'Edited book' option for entry type? Or was that only in Mendeley? Not intuitive at all but thank you for solving…

• I did that before and it didn't help. Having said that, it now appears to be working! Maybe it just needed a holiday? Thanks for your help.
