  • Huh, that makes me think that Zotero is not using the data and storage folders you think it is using. Can you right-click on an item in Zotero, and ask it to Show File? It may point to someplace else entirely and you may have another base directory …
  • Searching with filenames works for me, but also try the eight-character folder name the pdf is in, like "I3BZ9V8E", within your storage folder. Search inside the Zotero app with that eight-character string (make sure you are not in a subcollection, …
  • So, just add the style. They are available. There are currently 9194 styles in the repository, so there is a good chance any given journal is already there. Here are the instructions: https://www.zotero.org/support/styles#installing_additional_styl…
  • @DWL-SDCA I am only talking about parentheticals for bibliographic data acquired from PubMed. Title abbreviations offered by PubMed/NLM do not contain parentheticals, and these abbreviations do get saved in Zotero's "Journal Abbr." line. I believe t…
  • As far as I can see, journal abbreviations never include the parentheses. So, styles with abbreviated journal names do not have this issue. At least in biomedical sciences, I'd venture to guess that full journal names in bibliographies are not commo…
  • @popwatson PubMed/NLM's own catalogue calls J Neurosci, "The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nlmcatalog?term="J+Neurosci"[Title+Abbreviation] This is quite annoying to m…
  • When you click on the item (not the Pubmed entry or any attached pdfs), it does take you to the webpage specified by the DOI. At least that is the current behavior in my hands with Zotero 5.0.58. To go to the Pubmed webpage, you have to click on th…
  • Thanks. Yes, I have seen the Submitted vs. Accepted vs. Open-Access distinction, and it is indeed helpful. The version data Unpaywall provides is cool. It demonstrates the complexities of retrieving open-access pdfs from the myriad of sources on th…
  • As a counterpoint, I would say that this would not be a desirable feature. When writing manuscripts, one rarely looks at the bibliography (why would you?). If you accidentally hit a citation, and that moves you to the bibliography or clutters your s…
  • The issue seems to be resolved. I am not getting "(Unicode Encoding Conflict)" appended to filenames any more. Probably as a result of an update on Dropbox. Thanks to all that chimed in.
  • This page elaborates on the style, and specifies the space after the colon: https://www.eva.mpg.de/lingua/pdf/GenericStyleRules.pdf See last sentence on page 5, and examples throughout: "The page numbers follow the year after a colon and a space, …
  • Thanks for the input. This is not an important point, and to be honest, I should leave the interpretation of the multi-page style descriptions to the experts. I do agree that the testing for page numbers is a good way to figure out what to do.
  • I understand how the webpage and Zotero app behave differently now, although I will just say that parity might be a good thing to avoid confusion for users who would appropriately check the online repo first. And also, the Zotero behavior is the cor…
  • ... but both Brain and Nature have the same citation data, but Brain shows [internet] and URL and Nature doesn't on the repository webpage? I assume that this is only for styles (like Brain) that on occasion might display a URL (for webpages or on…
  • This is very likely unrelated - but this made me look at the Zotero style repository webpage, and hovering over the Brain entry (and several other styles in the repository) shows the [internet] tag for the Hisataka reference, which (I assume) is a j…
  • But still, the method adamsmith mentioned is not hard. For example, on a Mac, just type this in a terminal: du -h -d 1 ~/Zotero/storage | sort -h -r you may need to change the storage folder (~/Zotero/storage) to what your storage folder is. and …
  • Different strokes for different folks on this one. I also prefer the oldest, as that is likely the main article pdf, and the second one is supplemental data pdf. I'd delete any old and non-up-to-date attachments.
  • I wouldn't mind seeing some numbers, and advertising them to my colleagues and students. Most of them are unaware of the fact that alternatives to EndNote, and now Mendeley, exist, and it feels like Zotero is falling behind in natural sciences. As a…
  • @luongthang1908 No problem. I have been meaning to do this, and had the request mostly typed up already. Your message helped overcome my procrastination. Thank you.
  • Thank you @damnation This matches the guidelines on their webpage. The pdf and the html versions are different, but it is perfectly good given that they are explicitly not picky about this. Thanks again. Probably with 5-10,000 submissions a year …
  • As someone who has published in and regularly reads eLife, I wouldn't say that it is very necessary to have an eLife style, since they seem to have the very healthy philosophy that scientists should not ever have to worry about citation styles, and …
  • I don't know if it matters, but the csl file name has a typo (havard instead of harvard).
  • This is especially useful for Pubmed-related entries, since they may start as advanced online publication entries (which are deposited to Pubmed soon after a paper is accepted) without details such as printed volume, issue, page number, etc. After …
  • Have you considered joining the Italian localization team for Zotero? https://www.transifex.com/zotero/zotero/language/it_IT/
  • I finally got to disabling all the other computers actively syncing at multiple locations. When I had an item in Zotero, and tried to attach a local pdf, the file got lost to Zotero because the filename got a "(Unicode Encoding Conflict)" appended. …
  • Well, despite the criticism the developers have been getting about the renaming feature, I find the auto-renaming feature quite sensible and useful. But, yes, that would solve the issue.
  • Same issue raised here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/71074/extra-author-options
  • I think this issue was just raised recently by another user: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/70688/adding-investigator The definition of tahqîq/tahkik from that OP was an "investigator".
  • Thank you for that explanation. I appreciate the time you had spent on this. Yes, Zotero is not writing the filenames as NFD, but that's how the filename is ending up after Dropbox syncs. When I disable Dropbox syncing, the filename stays as NFC. So…
  • Also for those users who would like to know of a workaround, use Spotlight (or however you search for files on Mac) with a part of the filename, remove the (Unicode Encoding Conflict) and also replace the non-ASCII character by typing it again (Macs…
