When you use a citation style that requires abbreviated journal titles, you have two options.ġ) If you are using Zotero with a Word Processor, in the Document Preferences you can choose to "Use MEDLINE journal abbreviations." This option will only appear when you select a style that uses journal abbreviations. How does Zotero handle abbreviated titles? You can then drag them into a collection.ģ. It will import the references into a new folder, where you can review them for accuracy.

In Zotero, choose File > Import and navigate to where the RIS or BibTeX file was saved. If you are given the option to Export or Save, your options may include Export to Zotero. Then choose the option to view the items (usually a folder or link near the top of the screen). However, if you are having this difficulty with a catalog or database, look for the option to select and/or save the item. There are some pages you will visit that won't have adequate metadata for Zotero to translate, in which case you will need to manually enter the data. Why doesn't the Zotero translator (Zotero icon in the browser) correctly import the reference? But it is not as easy for Zotero to convert Title Case to Sentence case because some words might need to remain capitalized (such as proper nouns).Ģ. You can change that to Title Case or Sentence case by right-cicking on the title and choosing an option under "Transform Text." You are advised to choose Sentence case because this can be easily converted by Zotero to Title Case if the style you choose requires this. When you import a reference, Zotero saves it exactly as it appears in the online resource. Why is the capitalization incorrect in my bibliography?
