  in Updating references based on their DOI Comment by jdlea February 24, 2025
• If you're using latex, you'll want BetterBibtex (https://retorque.re/zotero-better-bibtex/). In Zotero, keep the titles in sentence case with correct capitalization for nouns, abbreviations, etc. Things will be upper cased as needed for title case…

  in Transfer from group to personal library - breaking links to citations in documents Comment by jdlea June 14, 2024

  in Shared Documents - Where Does the Word Plugin Get its References? Comment by jdlea June 14, 2024
• The Citavi interface sounds interesting but is somewhat orthogonal to the ORCID id. The main point I was trying to convey is that trying to choose a unique ID for authors is futile - there needs to be a database with 0..N IDs for each person, with …

  in ORCID Comment by jdlea October 24, 2022
• I've been trying to clean up a large database recently, have some thoughts on this topic, and would like to propose a way forward. A few realities must be recognized: 1. There is no way to identify a person uniquely. 2. Some citers like to maint…
