Ok, it appears I have poked a bear here. Both the proceeding authors have jumped on the comments I have made concerning CSL style sheets in several discussion threads on this forum. Obviously, they are passionate about this model, which is good to s…

Good points. As I said I don't store my PDFs electronically, so some of these nuances have evaded me so far. It is good to know that Zotero does not store the PDFs in its database but rather a distinct directory.

Two points I would like to make here. I have just imported ~10,000 references from Endnote to Zotero and I have only found a perceptible lag when opening the main collection for the first time (in firefox)-- this takes ~4 seconds compared to 2 sec…

Bruce, You stated... I'm biased, but I'm not the only one who believes CSL is much better designed than Endnote's style system purely from the styling standpoint. At present, I am currently unclear of my opinion of CSL. As you may have noticed I s…

This is a summary of how I eventually imported my Endnote Library into Zotero, and some general observations on the use of Zotero after using Endnote for many years. General observations... 1. The generic 'Refman (RIS) Export' file provided with En…

Hi, I have just imported a 10,000 reference Endnote database into Zotero and played around with all sorts of 'RIS Tag : Zotero Field' combinations. In the end I avoided the use of the KW tag. My Endnote export style looks like this... `TY - `GEN|…

POINT 1 So how is this code listed below interpreted? Zotero.CSL.Item._optionalTypeMap = { versus Zotero.CSL.Item._fallbackTypeMap = { POINT 2 Why is a CSL file that specifically handles a range of reference types redundant? POINT 3 In my ex…

So how is this code listed below interpreted? If I am reading it right the format is Zotero:CSL -- so a 'letter' in Zotero Database would be captured by the command in the CSL file. Is this correct? Also, I realise the default option is how the i…

I agree with your comments. Personally I am just trying to transfer 1000s of references to Zotero in a way that avoids inserting unknown errors. Once done I will give EndNote the flick, and my transition to OpenOffice will be complete. In regar…

Thanks for the background. I have been playing around with Zotero and came to the conclusion that the only export format that imports entirely is Zotero RDF. I created a book and book section item in an empty library then exported and reimport…

Contacting Thomson/Reuters to talk about how I can export my data and stop using their product is unlikely to solicit a response. Follow up questions... 1. Is their a functional limit to how many references a 'collection' can have? 2. Do…

Has anyone had problems importing large endnote libraries to Zotero? I have ~9000 references in endnote and found importing the RIS File with Zotero just crashed the system. I get the dialog 'Importing Items' appear but anfter about 1…
