duplicating entries and spending sooo much time cleaning up / maintaining my scientific paper library - only to find that the information gets lost in the ether.

Yes, when I migrated a couple of years ago, I went from Bookends to RIS to Zotero, with a few hours of manually cleaning up stray fields. I seem to recall this post and some of its links being helpful

That said, if your main workflow is importing PDFs directly, Mendeley is the better product for you without doubt. As a warning, you'll spend a fair amount of time cleaning up data. PDF look-up is imp

I think cleaning up data on import is one of Zotero's key comparative advantages & it's the type of thing that code is supposed to do, so I'm always happy to do that (where possible), I'm pretty sure

This occurs both when I try to sync and when I try to replace the server library. I have been using the javascript api to create items, including movement of items between libraries, and may have cor

Uninstallation of Libre Office may not be needed, cleaning up the old versions remaining folders could be enough, but not tested...

Is there some way to see just a list of files that are counting against my storage quota? Also, I was cleaning out some citations, many of which had pdfs attached to them. But, when I did, the amoun

Thanks Adam for cleaning it !

If you need APA style there is no alternative to cleaning your database.

1.After cleaning up my tags list (essentially by deleting auto-added tags), I was hoping I would get a cleaner (shorter) list of suggestions when I add a tag to an item. Unfortunately, this is not the

Thanks as. The link you pointed me to makes sense. Cleaning up wasn't too bad, and I made sure all my installations have logging activated so I can send logs if problems arise again. No problems since

I spent several hours cleaning up collections within a shared library on my laptop, including moving PDFs and parent items, and deleted collections. Everything synced fine (from what I could tell) to

Okay, well I got to the instructions about cleaning up JRE (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50371#c15) and am stuck halfway through reading them again for the fifth time--they are complet

my local zotero storage reaching 10+ gb, I have decided to do a little early spring cleaning. So I went through the libraries and cut down quite a lot of them. But, the size of the storage folder (loc

So, the upshot is, I am trying to bring together my endnote reference library and papers pdf library in Zotero. So far, this has meant cleaning my reference library in endnote with search and replace,

There is no alternative to manually cleaning up/completing your data in Zotero. Once that's done, your bibliography will look right.

If you still have access to these Debug IDs, is there anything useful there? Sorry for the late reply. I'm cleaning up my bookmarks.

I have used an obvious and very imperfect workaround for date ranges: writing say 198285 for 1982-1985. This does come out in the bibliography and looks odd enough to be spotted when cleaning things u
