FYI: because of the poor Zotero integration (in addition to a few other drawbacks) I switched back from Scrivener to writingoutliner.com, a very Scrivener-like plugin for Word that works well with Zotero.
-
Oh, you're right. Thanks for the heads up.
-
Makes sense. The language-coding will solve this. And the Freyre is correct. It's just that Zotero messes up sentence-style capitalization for languages other than English. The "o" and "da" in the title are articles/prepositions ("the" and…
-
I've found another issue with the style. In bibliographies, it capitalizes the first letter of words that aren't capitalized in the Zotero Library. It does seem to get English right: not capitalizing articles, etc. But for those of us working in …
-
Too bad. Thanks, though.
-
As far as I can tell, the indentation problem that we discussed above still exists with the new style. Bibliographies (generated using Zotero 2.1.6, the latest stable version, and the Word 2010 plugin) resolve text to the left after the first inden…

This is great news. Thanks a lot, adamsmith and everyone else who has participated in putting this together!
-
That's correct. Thanks.
-
Thanks, fbennet. That did it. Adamsmith, as far as I can tell the "American Anthropological Association" style (not the "block indent" one) looks very close, and the colon/comma issue is fixed. I tried them with the Word plugin. Here's a pdf of h…

Hi, adamsmith. I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to load these onto Zotero. Each link takes me to an html page with a script on it that I'm not sure what to do with. Those pages do include download links, but unzipping those doesn't …

Thanks, adamsmith. I'll check these out this evening (or possibly, tomorrow) and let you know how they work.
-
Again, I really appreciate it.
-
Hi Adamsmith, Have you been able to reformat the AAA style? Thanks a lot!
-
Thanks!
-
I appreciate that you are looking into this and I apologize that I don't have the technical know-how to do it myself. All AAA styles use colons/no space rather than commas/space (as cmbarton's currently uses, and as styles such as Chicago use). So…
-
cmbarton's is pretty good and it actually seems to get the repeat author right, as far as I can tell. The problems that I see in it are 1) the spacing and indentation and 2) that it uses a comma/space, rather than colon/no space. Thanks very much.
-
I see that 2.1 has officially been released. Great news. Has anyone developed an AAA style with the new format at this point? Or is there anything usable that looks like the "Per-author publication listing," on http://gsl-nagoya-u.net/http/pub/ci…
-
Thanks for the help.
-
"Likely pretty soon" sounds good. If I submit a few things before 2.1 goes final, I'll clean them up manually. It's good to know that a working AAA style should be coming out soon. Thanks again for a great research tool.
-
The example under the heading, "Per-author publication listing," on the demo page looks good (except in AAA, the author's name isn't in bold). I'm reluctant to subject my time-sensitive writing projects to the beta (perhaps I'll try later on a diff…
-
Hi All, To those who have been working on creating a working AAA style for Zotero: thank you very much. Has there been any progress? I've been using the style that James posted in Box.net, which is good, except for the problems already menti…
-
The "American Sociological Association" style has the same problems that the first poster identified. And, yeah, I agree with ByteRider: 1.04 with Openoffice is way faster than the older versions (just in time, I might add: I'm doing the final …

http://www.lrb.co.uk/ http://www.thenation.com/ http://www.nybooks.com/ http://www.newyorker.com/ would all be very useful. Thanks for a great tool!

I'd like to vote for www.scielo.br It's Brazil's principal database of academic and scientific journals. Thanks!
-
Thanks.
-
Thanks, Jon. I think that's likely it. And, sorry, I should have found that.
-
All of the above. The Openoffice plugin works very slowly. Adding citations is slow. Searching and sorting is slow. I have about 500 items in Zotero, many with associated PDFs. Could the PDFs be slowing it down? Thanks!

if you're still having trouble with this, allchars
-
Dan, Sorry, my mistake. I can't replicate it. I've spent the last day and a half reorganizing my bibliography in Zotero (a great resource!) and it's no longer a problem. I'm not sure what I was doing wrong, and i apologize for the superfluous qu…

Thanks, bdarcus. Will do, on the search.
