• I am having the opposite problem. I can't figure out how to switch the data format to the standard American Month/Day/Year. Do I have a setting selected that makes Zotero think I'm in England. Can DStillman or anyone else tell me how to flip the dat…

  in Change date format in Zotero 5 Comment by Scotthertzberg June 23, 2023
• Thank you for responding and sorry for not asking a clear question. By "saving citations from PDFs" I mean collecting (in other words, importing into Z) bibliographic information on a PDF (title, author, etc) with the Zotero Connector. In my exper…

• Thank you. Good to know that you can't export contents in the extra field. However, I found an alternative. If you export a file as an RDF the contents of extra export. I sent someone a Zotero RDF and when the imported it they had the contents in ex…

  in Exporting Extra as RIS Comment by Scotthertzberg May 29, 2020
• It does not look like anyone is using Zotero to compile bibliographies for an information clearinghouse or academic library, or at least nobody who saw my question. Does anyone know if Zotero still has someone on staff to answer questions like this…

• Thanks to both of you. I got it to work by trying what Adam suggested. I selected all 1,051 records and exporting them. I did not get the same results by right-clicking on the collection and exporting. I got all the duplicates that way. The colle…

• Thanks for replying. I did not see your questions. The 8 character key for the collection at Zotero.org is 5CF87S7U When I export a RIS file from the Zotero Standalone a lot of the records are duplicating. I don't think they are splitting apart a…

• Hello D. Stillman. Thank you for your help. Have you had a chance to look at the file I sent to Zotero support. It would be good to figure out why the Zotero Standalone is exporting duplicates of a lot of references.

• Thanks, I just emailed the file.

• Oh sorry, I was slow to see what you meant by sample. I can email you the very RIS file I'm having trouble with or share it with you in a Zotero Group. Which is best?

  in Inaccurate RIS file export Comment by Scotthertzberg November 26, 2018
• Thanks for your quick reply Dan. I can't figure out why some references are exporting as one reference while others are multiplying or splitting. Even when I export on the Zotero Standalone and import the file right back into the Standalone, I ge…

• Thanks to both of you, I have done it. I have installed APA with abstracts.

• Thanks I will try that with Chrome which has the Connector.

• Is the documentation for installing additional styles for the old version of Zotero and not Zotero 5.0 ? I'm trying to be independent but can't follow the screenshots in the documentation. I know that some of the documentation has not yet been chan…

• Excellent, APA with abstracts is perfect. Thanks.

• Thanks Adam for the quick reply. I think Endnote would use the term export for what I want to do. I mean when you highlight an item(s) and right click and near the bottom of the menu you get an option to "create a bibliography." When I select "c…

• Thanks Adam, I want to delete them from all collections. It worked for some collections but not others. For the others the link is deactivated. It is faint and nothing happens when you select it. Strange.

• I mean "collections" not folders.

• I was able to delete automatic tags for some categories in the library but when I try to delete them for a lot of the folders, the delete all automatic option is deactivated. Any suggestions.

• HURRAY! Thank you Adam. I would not have figured out where the menu was without the screenshot. A big thank you. Now I can bring order to a 1,000 plus record bib. Scott The Librarian

• Hello, this is good news. I want to delete all the automatic tags. I can't figure out the path to the tag selector menu. Can someone tell me how to get there.

• Thanks Adam, I'll be sure to move my cursor out of the field.

• Thank you Adam Smith, it is exciting to get advice from a famous economist.

  in Basic Syncing Question Comment by Scotthertzberg July 14, 2017
• Dan. Thank you. You are correct. I used Zotero a few years ago and am trying to get back to it. Thanks for your help.

• Really, that is your response. Before making the commment I searched the forums and several other people using the term export creating a bibliography from a Zetoro collection. They got polite replies. Seems like Zetoro means thin skinned.

  in Export Abstract Comment by Scotthertzberg February 17, 2012
• Well that is a friendly reply. I am referring to how with the “create bibliography” function it is not easy (or perhaps even possible) to select to download abstracts along with citations. Sure, you can use the "Export Library" function and crea…

• Got to say that Zetoro is too hard for the average user to figure out. You really should be able to select if you want abstracts or not in one click. That is a very basic citation manager option.

• Pretty amazing that it is so complicated to delete duplicates. That's a basic Endnote function.
