Librarything's MARC export ignores a lot of information in my experience, so I wouldn't rely on that. You can enter many books by ISBN, see https://www.zotero.org/support/adding_items_to_zotero#add_item_by_identifier . Just be aware that in some cas…

In my opinion, Librarything (which I like for many other reasons) is pretty bad at exporting. Their import from Amazon or library catalogues is good, but the other options usually involve some loss of information. There is no 100% reliable app to c…

I agree about the role of plugins, but calling false duplicates a bug is too strong in my opinion. It is just not possible to detect duplicate bibliographic records with 100% accuracy. So here it has apparently been a design choice to prefer false p…

Here's the documentation of Zotero's duplicate detection feature, as you will see it it very simple (perhaps too simple): https://www.zotero.org/support/duplicate_detection I think we all agree that it could be improved and that a way to mark false…

I suspect your machine management system is re-installing the version approved by your IT staff. You should ask them.

If you need to cite the content, it is probably better to cite the original articles so that a reader can locate them. Unless the offprint is more readily available?
-
Yes, disabling automatic refreshing of citations until the very end would be the recommended method.
-
Yes, the integration with Word for Mac is slooooooooow and you have a long documents with many citations. There is no crash, the program is still running and will eventually complete the task. However, it will probably take hours to fully refresh th…

Oh, I see - so the question is not whether Zotero can support this technically, but whether it is correct to cite this in principle? There are various possible answers depending on who you ask - you should definitely ask your supervisor first and f…

It is not just "like a database", I think that's exactly what it is :-) Example: https://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/haematological/2053/t(3;13)(q27;q14) Right now it seems to be captured as web page without much metadata. I suppose one could write …

Thanks for clearing my misconception :-)
-
I don't think it is possible for an item to belong to a subcollection but not the parent(s). Can you explain what you want to achieve with these informations?
-
There's always some kind of communication channel on a publisher platform, sometimes it's just better hidden than others :-) In this case, here it is: https://help.tandfonline.com/s/contactsupport

"Drugs: Education, Prevention and Policy" is published by Taylor & Francis, and that publisher has been exposing incorrect metadata for a couple of weeks. See https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/491944#Comment_491944 and https://forums.…

In order to collect detailed metadata, it's better to save references from the journal/catalog/repository web page rather than directly as a PDF. Did you try https://openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/35138/ ?

Thanks for the link! Now I don't see much information that's citable on that page: the title (Zotero is getting it on my machine), the name of the web site (got it as well), the access date (always needed for proper citation of a web page), a summar…

Region: my comment was for all others on this forum, hopefully someone within the perimeter will notice. Diabetes UK/pre diabetes: was it this page? https://www.diabetes.org.uk/about-us/news-and-views/one-five-adults-now-live-diabetes-or-prediabete…

The NICE content seems to be available only from the UK and associated territories so I can't be sure, but the platform might not expose the information in a way that Zotero can use. Maybe someone from the designated region could take a look? Do yo…

It makes sense on a general level, but by "specific examples" I meant the exact links of documents for which you could not retrieve the desired information.
-
Please provide specific examples so that someone can take a look.
-
I'm testing something right now, if I can get it to work I will submit a PR.

I assume that the developers had enough on their hands with the migration from Zotero 6 to Zotero 7 (some very significant technical changes were involved) => they probably didn't want to add this extra layer of complexity. But it seems to be com…
-
Indeed you can't post a screen recording directly, but you could use a video sharing platform and provide a link. I don't think it's necessary here, this is just FYI.
-
Thanks, the point is clearer to me now. I agree it would make sense to bring some reference information into the document together with the note (to be used in the bibliography), and I'm not seeing it when I try this functionality. Perhaps we are mi…

No insult was spotted, just what feels to me like an excessive generalization. From the etiquette page "Different people use Zotero in different ways". In other words: "Literally the usual writing process", no. I would agree with "A common writing p…
-
"this is literally the usual writing process - copy and paste a highlighted text from a piece into your work and at the end generate a bibliography" is probably too strong a statement, I for one have never worked like that. In my line of work, copyi…
-
Glad to read that you got through the process! Some progress information would be nice indeed, although the word processor plugin will work much faster in all other cases. The developers have an ongoing discussion with Microsoft to improve the perfo…

Oui, l'enregistrement du site est le document parent dans votre bibliothèque. C'est dans le document parent que se trouvent les champs que vous pouvez éditer, pas au niveau de la pièce jointe. Mais vous y êtes presque :-)

Understood!
