"I guess that one solution to this would be to convince publishers to preface their article numbers with an 'e'." Wiley already does this, but I'm not sure how widely it's been adopted: https://authorservices.wiley.com/asset/photos/eLocators_text_f…

That sounds good, Adam, but I wonder how it would work in practice (an article number field isn't standard, so maybe there would be issues with importing entries from elsewhere?) And it would presumably mean that users would have to edit entries in …

I've been going through the Publication Manual and I was wondering how Zotero will handle the rule regarding article numbers (pp. 295, 318)? Whereas in the sixth edition article numbers seem to have been treated the same as page numbers (e.g., PLOS …

That's great! Thank-you!

The main thing I want to avoid, which seemed to occur every so often with Papers3, is a situation in which there are unaccountable sync errors (e.g., a reference whose details would inexplicably change). It sounds like that Zotero should be able to …

Ah, I see that I should have read this sooner (https://www.zotero.org/support/sync), since it answers most of my questions. The only concern I have at the moment is whether the data stored on Zotero's servers could serve as a backup of the library a…

Update: It's finally done. I just had to do some edits to the XML file, wait for the import to finish, and then modify the book chapters (of which there weren't too many) to include book titles. So far I'm quite happy with the switch. Papers became …

That's ok, I understand that neither method will be perfect—so I'll just have to opt for the one that produces the best result without requiring too much post-import editing. At the moment that looks like the XML method, since I only need to edit ou…

Some further updates: 1. With the **XML method**: Seems to treat book chapters in edited books as edited books by omitting the book title (1a). Also, when dealing with an edited book by itself, converts editors to authors (1b). See examples below: …

Thanks! That hadn't occurred to me, but I'll do that. The only other issue with importing via XML is that it looks like apostrophes have been replaced with & apos;, so instead of "O'Reilly Media", the output is given as "O& apos;Reilly Media…

Just wanted to leave a quick update, in case anyone is following a similar path in transitioning from Papers3 to Zotero... 1. Exporting to an RIS file works, but it's less than ideal because some information seems to go missing while irrelevant/inc…

Thank-you. I'll give it a try. Here's hoping that it works! (With regard to collections, I can probably just give all the items in the collection the same tag and later create the collections in Zotero based on the tag, assuming the import is succ…

Thanks. Will this allow me to import all the tags from Papers as well?—the existing tags I have are critical to my workflow.
