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…

> The "Ethereal Style" plugin creates a bunch of new columns in Zotero It's always nice to learn something new, I didn't know that. Thanks!

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 …
-
For problems with a plug-in, you should contact the plug-in creator.

My 2 cents, feel free to disregard this: does the world really need yet another citation style when thousands already exist, and do you really want to spend time and energy to create one from scratch?
-
Thanks, I see. So basically, the functionality that you require actually already exists. The missing part is to let the user choose variants such as (name year), name (year), etc.
-
I still don't get it. The way I understand things, the 1st request is already covered by the existing name disambiguation mechanism for in-text citations https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation This is implemented in the citatio…
-
I'm not sure I understand the 1st request. Isn't it already handled by the relevant styles?
-
Did you check the instructions at https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#zotero_toolbar_doesn_t_appear ?
-
It sounds difficult, whether or not the Extra field will actually be used will mostly depend on the style (I think).
-
"the browser plugin gets it often wrong" That's not a general problem, could you give specific examples (preferably in another thread)?
-
Thanks!

I have the same experience on macOS 15.2 (Apple Silicon).

"lastName, firstName" is the standard name format for many applications in the Western world: - it clearly distinguishes which is which (which can be difficult otherwise when there are several first names and/or last names); - it makes it easy to so…

I am not 100% sure but I suspect you are talking about collections. If so, here is the answer: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/collections_containing_an_item Please note that collections are not folders, they have distinct properties that might …

You could also create a zip file containing your directory. Depending on your system (choice of OS & zip utility), the archive might be treated almost like a folder.
