To my great shame since I started at UCI and have a UCI owned computer I haven't been using a reference manager (mostly because I haven't been doing any primary writing, plenty of secondary writing and editing, but I haven't been managing the references for any of the papers I've been on). I think I need to install zotero before the situation gets any worse, so pray for me...
(I used zotero on my personal laptop, but the version I was using is pretty out of date at this point)
2nd: Is your computer/notebook and your printer etc. well supported by #Linux? Check the internet for it.
3rd: After switching: Look first for software in the distribution repositories and not on the websites of the projects. Install it from the distribution if available.
I've written a guide for people who want to draft papers in #Obsidian and then export to Microsoft #Word with "live" #Zotero citations. That is, the final document will look like a document that was written in Word with Zotero from the beginning, allowing you to edit the citations and generate a bibliography before submitting to a journal.
#Zotero still asking $60 for 1 year of 6Gb… 😭 @zotero I love you all but it’s 2024 now, maybe you could either reduce the price or increase what we get for it? #ReferenceManager
Einen kostenlosen Unlimited-Account für #Zotero bekommen alle mit einer E-Mail-Adresse der Universitäten in Nebraska!
Lehrkräfte können dann einfach eine Literatursammlung für ein Seminar an die Studierenden freigeben. Lerngruppen können Quellen miteinander teilen. Ein super Service, der es ermöglicht, dass alle Studierenden und Mitarbeitenden den gleichen Zugang bekommen.
Vielleicht ist das ja auch eine Idee für Universitäten in Deutschland.
Ich kann wirklich nur empfehlen: Wer in einem Bereich arbeitet, in dem man immer mal mit PDFs von Studien o.ä. zu tun hat, sollte sich #Zotero mal anschauen!
In case it might be useful to anyone else, I just wrote a quick Chrome extension to download all PDFs on CourtListener when there are multiple attachments to one docket entry.
@vform@mwfc Ich habe angefangen die #Zotero Android App selbst zu nutzen. Ist noch Beta und hat aktuell limitierte offene Plätze, aber funktioniert m.E. schon stabil und ist auch #OpenSource: https://github.com/zotero/zotero-android . Die Zotero Web Library funktioniert jetzt auch zum annotieren im Browser direkt als mögliche Alternative. Habe aber keine Erfahrung mit einer Stift-Eingabe.
Upcoming Zotero 7 adopts Firefox’ Proton UI and looks stunning (for a non-native UI)! You can test the beta today. Keep in mind: it isn’t stable. Don’t use it for other than testing purposes. I’ve already run into some file sync issues while testing.
Windows 11 is trash. Copy-paste has been broken for years, and remains thus. I want copy to work consistently and I want unformatted paste to work consistently. Libre Office does these things better than Word or Notepad 11.
I love the connector's proxy integration that just let's me click on links to paywalled pieces & routes them through our proxy automatically.
But sometimes I want to share that link w someone at a different institution -- turns out, Zotero has you covered: There's an option to copy the unproxied URL in the right-click on the page
Are there any #Zotero users out here who have advice for managing their #PDF files (academic #books and #articles)? I am running low on storage because Zotero items are cluttering my C: drive, so I want to move them all to a #network drive or #cloud. And I am wondering if there's a way to rename items so that the file names also make sense to human users. By default, files have a Zotero ID as their names. Not handy for just browsing your storage directly or archiving elsewhere. Ideas welcome! 💡
Oh, wow!! Apparently the @zotero Viewer now supports html as well. You can take a snapshot of a html and annotate it locally! That's a terribly important feature I've been waiting for for a very long time and now it's just there without me even noticing. I'm thrilled 😄 #zotero
Ok, draft Zotero translator for PROV collection is capturing item metadata, a link to generate a PDF, a like to IIIF manifest, saving the first page image (if digitised). Anything else that would be useful?
Was ist Ihnen bei der Literatursuche wichtig, brauchen Sie Infos zu #Forschungsdaten, würden Sie Literaturlisten in #Zotero o.ä. für die Deutsche Historische Bibliografie bereitstellen?
Do people know about the Zotero group, the 'Fediverse Observatory'? Its a long list of relevant information and sources that mention Fediverse related stuff. Check it out.
