#ZOTERO FORUM INSTALL#
My friend helped me to write a small Python parser of my bibliography in BetterBibtex bib file and save every reference as md file in Obsidian vault.ġ: install BetterBibtex as described in Zettlr docs.
#ZOTERO FORUM PDF#
The pdf will be renamed according to the naming rules you specified in the settings, and the folder will be named appropriately (e.g., “LuhmannN”). If you set up ZotFile’s settings to point to where you’re keeping your pdf attachments, ZotFile will move the pdf file from where you have it (Downloads?) to a folder in your repository. Then, Manage Attachments > Rename Attachments.YMMV.Īs for your question about using Zotfile, it requires two steps using the context menu: But this varies depending on the journal’s publisher. I’ve even downloaded pdf’s from my library’s catalog and then used Zotero to access the file, and Zotero had the correct metadata. If you have access to an academic library, their electronic catalogs and ejournals are usually quite good. Amazon also is an easily scraped, often a convenient source of book metadata. For example, find articles on Google Scholar and books on Google Books. If the page author entered “Alex” instead of “Alexander,” this would explain the flaw.Īs for the other kind of sources, use a trusted reference source to identify the item. I don’t know for sure how Zotero scrapes this kind of web page, but possibly it looks at the HTML. If you were importing the metadata from a library site, where items are required to have correct information, you probably wouldn’t have this. This is probably a function of the web page. For some reason, “Alex” was truncated when you imported it.Click on the little box to the right of the author’s name, and this should yield “Scott” as the last name and “Alex” as the first. You have the field set to institutional author format.Kimstacks, your author problem has two causes: That’s my current process, but again, I’ve only just started this (have less then 10 articles within the database via this method at the moment), so time will tell how useful some of these links are and what additional information may be required. I guess the idea is that over time a depth and richness will evolve that helps peice these ideas together. Within these notes are links to other relevant articles and notes(zettels) that also support my idea. I also aim to provide links via keywords and links to other relevant notes (both of which I’m not sure how useful will be in the future, but will have to see as the database grows).Īfter understanding a bit more about the Zettelkasten method and the importance of small note sizes, I am writing up any unique ideas that are stimulated whilst reading the article and linking them in the bottom of this template in the Atomic notes section. My thinking behind the note template for journal articles is to provide a single space to include my thinking, direct quotes, and any questions that arise from the article. But this is really just me fumbling around and trying something after reading a few blogs and forums posts etc. A disclaimer, I’m pretty new to this note-taking business, but all the enthusiasm around Roam and Obsidian seems to be a bit infectious, so I’ve started getting into it.
