This is an interesting question and I think I see where the clash is happening in general, but I am not sure how Zotero is involved in the story. Can you describe your workflow, maybe as a list of steps?
-
They are mapped to Publisher. Publication (for item types that use it) is a kind of document container (a book for book sections, a journal for articles, etc. ), not an organization.
-
Is this what you mean? https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item If yes, it already works for attachments without parent items (I have just tested it myself).
-
You would usually avoid this issue using the standard input method (search for the book in the desired library catalog and capture metadata using the browser plugin) instead of the ISBN look-up, but the dedicated import translator is still work in p…

Yes, that's what I meant - but not the result I was hoping for. Did you actually set up syncing on your local machine, before you had to send your machine to the repair center? Maybe with a different username? If not, maybe you had a personal back-u…

Can you see your data at https://www.zotero.org/nche0054/library ? If yes, if your drive was indeed wiped out, you need to enter your username and password in Zotero to get your online data back into your local library https://www.zotero.org/suppor…

This is probably determined by the citation style. Which one are you using in your document? It can also be useful to post a screenshot of the reference as it appears in Zotero itself: the authors might not be recorded optimally.

Sorry @bostonblack, I hadn't read your previous message - thanks for pointing it out. I have kind of the same numbers, so basically no problem in comparison to a few posts of this thread that report 4 to 21 GB. Also memory seems to be properly rele…

The point is not that disabling plugins is a solution (indeed it isn't), it's a way to look for a possible cause. If the problem doesn't happen when the plugins are disabled, the cause is in one or more plugins, and by selectively activating one af…

@TomassoTomassini I am fully aware of the multiplicity of styles and their many widely different expectations - and I know I don't know them all even after years of librarianship. But I am also aware that the all-encompassing interfaces that we libr…
-
Which fields are present in a type is mostly dictated by the need to use them in citations. For example, publisher and publication place are not used for journal articles in any style that I know. Now of course this need can change over time. For y…

The question I'm asking is about an official description of the style you are looking for: the complete style, not the specific feature you are trying to implement. There are so many styles in existence, not all of them will be common and the featur…
-
Are there guidelines somewhere for the style you are trying to reproduce? It would be better to check for possible existing styles before creating your own from scratch - if none is a 100% match, perhaps one can be modified with minimal effort.

Yes, you can add any tag you want to any record in your library. Many import translators (see https://www.zotero.org/support/translators for more information about these scripts) will import keywords as tags, others might not: you will observe diffe…

Great!

OK, that's a good start. You can probably ignore Refworks-RCM, I assume it plays no direct role in your case. But you said "a new one", was it installed by someone else? In any case, there are instructions for people with word processor plug-in pro…
-
Refworks-RCM is a different tool: https://store.office.com/addinsinstallpage.aspx?rs=en-001&assetid=WA104380122 There is probably some kind of confusion. How did you install Zotero? Leaving the the Word plugin aside for a moment, can you run th…

This is the correct current style - a change introduced by IEEE in 2024, weird in my opinion, but it is what it is: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/111911/help-with-ieee-style

I don't know about a recording for that session, but there are other videos you might consider, such as https://zenodo.org/records/13971339 It might actually be better to use a more recent recording than the one you requested, so that it covers Zot…

A simple way to achieve the same result is to have an empty reference of your favorite type in your library and duplicate it when needed. But in general, the recommended workflow is to enter new references using the web browser connector instead of …

If you re-installed Windows but left the content of your disk otherwise unchanged (i.e. no re-format), you should be able to locate your Zotero library as explained here https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data Otherwise you will need to restore …

The Mac Word plugin is unfortunately slower than the other implementations - extremely so for long documents with many references. There's ongoing work at Microsoft to address the origin of this issue. How long did you wait for the bibliography to a…

Thanks for the details! I know the interest in impact factors is very common, but it is often misguided in my opinion (which is the philosophical root of many objections of mine). With this out of the way, here are some technical challenges that I'm…
-
But why are you trying to associate the impact factor of the journal (for a specific year) with an article in this journal? How do you want to use this information? That's what I'm curious about, because I can't see the intended goal - and without t…

Yes, the output dpi value the main adjustment variable. If you reduce it (let's say 200 instead of 300), the pdftoppm tool used by the plugin will produce slightly smaller files, which will subsequently produce a somewhat smaller output PDF. This wi…

I see various problems with this request, but before I start an argument that might not be constructive, I will ask the following: what would be the usefulness of this information? For sure, many people might say that they like the idea, but what i…

You can reduce the output file size if you set a lower resolution in the Zotero-OCR preferences, but don't expect a miracle: unfortunately you can gain maybe 10-20%, not an order of magnitude. This is really a consequence of the underlying OCR engin…

Where are you checking the size of your Zotero library? 300MB looks like the upper limit of the free sync storage offer, so that's what you might be seeing online even if you have much more in your local library. This is how you can find your local …
