  • I agree that a notification that a download is underway in the popup would be helpful. I had to download a bunch of papers, and I had to wait 15-30 s for most PDFs to finish downloading and appear in the Zotero mid-pane (the popup already had disapp…
  • I don't know much about the Word plugin, but there is some info available on down-grading: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/5138/downgrade/?Focus=22228#Comment_22228
  • but we're certainly open to making adjustments to the schema in 1.5 Any chance that the thesis item will get its "place"? http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/4497/thesis-problem/?Focus=19579#Comment_19579 http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/339/add…

  • Small note: you can also just commit a whole folder. TortoiseSVN will figure out which files have been changed and only upload those. That will reduce the number of commits you have to do (which you can see at https://www.zotero.org/trac/timeline).
  • I too encountered some journals where the authors save in all-capitals. Right now I just retyped the names. I like the idea of transforming, but without a way to select multiple author-fields that route is going to be a bit laborious as well. Would …
  • And when you get the message that the file already exists, you can't just acknowledge that and continue the copying of the file? If that doesn't work, just try committing via the different route I outlined.
  • What are exactly the steps you take when you 'copy it'? A file that is in sync with the repository will show a checkmark in a green circle on the file icon. When you modify one of those files (for instance, the style you earlier created and committ…
  • Zotero's PubMed translator should already retrieve both the full and abbreviated journal title. The fields it can retrieve are from a different list though (this one: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/licensee/elements_descriptions.html), as the translato…
  • Just recommit the changed file(s).
  • I'm not sure the language field is accessible (yet) via CSL. You could try to do the same with the Extra field (which according to the post linked below is mapped to the note field in CSL). Just replace with Note that you don't have to cre…
  • You have put some parameters (like sort-separator, initialize-with) in the names element of the macro container-contributors. This isn't correct CSL. You have to put those parameters in the name element. http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/csl_syntax…
  • http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_formatted_bibliographies Note that populating the fields of an item directly from a formatted bibliographic entry will often be problematic. For instance, an entry might not list all authors, or it might n…
  • For future reference, the online links to the style guides: http://www.nature.nps.gov/publications/NRPM/docs/Instructions_to_Authors_v2.2.pdf and http://www.nature.nps.gov/publications/NRPM/docs/editorial_style_guide_ps_nryr.pdf both can be found …
  • Some info on CSL that may be helpful: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_citation_styles http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/csl_syntax_summary As for your question: look for the citation element. The following piece of CSL code, found in the…
  • Here's my process: -click on style in style repository; -copy style coding to notepad; Although I don't think it prevents your style from installing, this workflow will prevent the saved style from working correctly, as you will also copy the minus-…
  • So installing styles directly from the repository does work when you use the install links?
  • You could start with a duplication of the relating item (e.g. the containing book) if you've already have that in your library. I understood that Zotero is planning to change to a hierarchical item model, which might make these kind of things easier…
  • Or perhaps Zotero could spew out a new RIS-file with the records that couldn't be parsed. That would probably be more helpful than a log.
  • Finally, the jackknife approach works for all but the error-causing records. Nonetheless, it's incredibly time consuming. Just wondering: there are quite a few reports here on how Zotero gets stuck on RIS files with non-standard entries. Wouldn't it…
  • "To see all the collections an item is in, hold down the “Option” key on Macs or the “Control” key on Windows. This will highlight all collections that contain the selected record." http://www.zotero.org/support/tips_and_tricks

  • The citations are from their formatting guide. Can you provide the URL of that guide?
  • You could also try out the Simple Text Query tool by Crossref: http://www.crossref.org/SimpleTextQuery/ The work flow here would be to paste the bibliography in the text box on this website, check out the resulting DOIs to see if the right papers …
  • and only with some sluthing on pubmed am I certain that Louis is a middle name and Simonet the surname. Isn't it just a double surname? See: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11530027 and other papers by this author http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/site…
  • Where exactly did you find these examples? I've looked on the ESA website, but I couldn't find any instructions how to format citations (I also couldn't find the examples you listed), but maybe I missed it. P.S. I just added a first draft of a styl…
  • If I'm not mistaken this feature has been in Zotero even before the release of 1.0.0. http://www.zotero.org/support/quick_start_guide#archive_the_web Note that you will only see the toolbar when you open a snapshot in your browser.
  • There is at least one issue with this style guide which prevents me from writing a correct CSL style (it has to do with the use of "et al." in in-text citations and "and Coauthors" in the bibliography). There is some discussion on how to change CSL …
  • Why exactly do you want to have the month of publication removed? The Zotero output styles are smart enough to only grab the information they need (in most cases just the year) when generating bibliographic entries, so I was wondering why you find t…
  • I didn't check the style with a XML validator (which you could do yourself, see http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/creating_citation_styles), so there may be additional issues with your style. Looking at it by eye I can tell you that you really have …
