Adding by DOI using the magic wand tool is very fast if you already have the DOI (e.g., if you are copying from a reference list), and it will give very good metadata (though it won’t have abstracts), but it won’t automatically download the PDF.

The best way to add items to the library is using the Zotero browser button from the item page on the publisher website. This will get the best metadata and often the PDF if available

The metadata on both of those providers can have been updated more than once by the publishers. I have CRON scripts that recognize records with incomplete metadata and check the databases and publisher sites several times over a period of 36 months

Only when my system detects complete metadata AND after 24 months and 3 repeat tests with the metadata unchanged is the metadata judged to likely be correct and complete.

dstillman April 17, 2020 Metadata updating is planned, but for now the easiest way to do this is just to use Add Item by Identifier and then select the two items and merge them.

this feature hasn't launched yet. But you'll be able to update metadata for multiple items at once, yes

I respectfully disagree about the advantages. "Add Item by Identifier + Merge Items" requires a copy/paste plus about 8 clicks per item, including a lot of hand-eye movement

the possibility of overwriting current metadata, and the fixes suggested are 1) showing the conflict resolution window and 2) implementing an undo mechanism

Zotero uses currently populated information to do a search

you delete the duplicated pdf file in Zotero but this doesn't remove the file from the Zotero storage folder and there seems to be no simple way to remove unused attachments from the zotero storage folder

One of the biggest issues I have with the workaround of adding a new entry then merging, is that it often results in doubling up of the PDF files

Elsevier, Sage, and Taylor and Francis publishers each will update their ahead-or-print metadata (and thus the date last updated at CrossRef and PubMed) without making meaningful changes

If you have hand-edited your record and you blindly accept the new metadata you risk overwriting good information

the best way to handle updates [re-download and merge] given the current status of available metadata from CrossRef, PubMed, journal publishers,

When the Uncertainty Principle Goes up To 11: Or How to Explain Quantum Physics with Heavy Metal by Philip Moriarty There are deep and fascinating links between heavy metal and quantum physics. No, really! While teaching at the University of Nottingham, physicist Philip Moriarty noticed something odd, a surprising number of his students were heavily into metal music. Colleagues, too: a Venn diagram of physicists and metal fans would show a shocking amount of overlap. What's more, it turns out that heavy metal music is uniquely well-suited to explaining quantum principles. In When the Uncertainty Principle Goes to Eleven, Moriarty explains the mysteries of the universe's inner workings via drum beats and feedback: You'll discover how the Heisenberg uncertainty principle comes into play with every chugging guitar riff, what wave interference has to do with Iron Maiden, and why metalheads in mosh pits behave just like molecules in a gas. If you're a metal fan trying to grasp the complexities of quantum physics, a quantum physicist baffled by heavy metal, or just someone who'd like to know how the fundamental science underpinning our world connects to rock music, this book will take you, in the words of Pantera, to "A New Level." For those who think quantum physics is too mind-bendingly complex to grasp, or too focused on the invisibly small to be relevant to our full-sized lives, this funny, fascinating book will show you that physics is all around us . . . and it rocks.Call Number: Main Circulating Stacks QC174.123 .M67 2018ISBN: 9781944648527Publication Date: 2018-07-31

Particles, Fields, Quanta: From Quantum Mechanics to the Standard Model of Particle Physics by Gerhard Ecker This book provides an introduction to the current state of our knowledge about the structure of matter. Gerhard Ecker describes the development of modern physics from the beginning of the quantum age to the standard model of particle physics, the fundamental theory of interactions of the microcosm. The focus lies on the most important discoveries and developments, e.g. of quantum field theory, gauge theories and the future of particle physics. The author also emphasizes the interplay between theory and experiment, which helps us to explore the deepest mysteries of nature. "Particles, Fields, Quanta" is written for everyone who enjoys physics. It offers high school graduates and students of physics in the first semesters an encouragement to understand physics more deeply. Teachers and others interested in physics will find useful insights into the world of particle physics. For advanced students, the book can serve as a comprehensive preparation for lectures on particle physics and quantum field theory. A brief outline of the mathematical structures, an index of persons with research focuses and a glossary for quick reference of important terms such as gauge theory, spin and symmetry complete the book. From the foreword by Michael Springer: "The great successes and the many open questions this book describes illustrate how immensely complicated nature is and nevertheless how much we already understand of it." The author Gerhard Ecker studied theoretical physics with Walter Thirring at the University of Vienna. His research focus has been on theoretical particle physics, in particular during several long-term visits at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva. In 1986 he was promoted to Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Vienna. Since 1977 he has given both basic lectures in theoretical physics and advanced courses on different topics in particle physics, e.g., quantum field theory, symmetry groups in particle physics and renormalisation in quantum field theory.Call Number: Online BookISBN: 9783030144784Publication Date: 2019-04-15

A Conceptual History of Symmetry: From Plato to the Super World by P. Frè This book presents the author's personal historical perspective and conceptual analysis on symmetry and geometry. The author enlightens with modern views the historical process which led to the contemporary vision of space and symmetry that are used in theoretical physics and in particular in such abstract and advanced descriptions of the physical world as those provided by supergravity. The book is written intertwining storytelling and philosophical argumentation with some essential technical material. The author argues that symmetry and geometry are inextricably entangled and their current meaning is the result of a long process of abstraction which was determined through history and can be understood within the analytic system of thought of western civilization that started with the Ancient Greeks. The evolution of geometry and symmetry theory in the last forty years has been deeply and constructively influenced by supersymmetry/supergravity and the allied constructions of strings and branes. Further advances in theoretical physics cannot be based simply on the Galilean method of interrogating nature and then formulating a testable theory to explain the observed phenomena. One ought to interrogate human thought, meaning frontier-line mathematics concerned with geometry and symmetry in order to find there the threads of so far unobserved correspondences, reinterpretations and renewed conceptions.DescriptionThis book presents the author's personal historical perspective and conceptual analysis on symmetry and geometry.

Beyond Weird: Why Everything You Thought You Knew About Quantum Physics is Different by Philip Ball "Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." Since Niels Bohr said this many years ago, quantum mechanics has only been getting more shocking. We now realize that it's not really telling us that "weird" things happen out of sight, on the tiniest level, in the atomic world: rather, everything is quantum. But if quantum mechanics is correct, what seems obvious and right in our everyday world is built on foundations that don't seem obvious or right at all--or even possible. An exhilarating tour of the contemporary quantum landscape, Beyond Weird is a book about what quantum physics really means--and what it doesn't. Science writer Philip Ball offers an up-to-date, accessible account of the quest to come to grips with the most fundamental theory of physical reality, and to explain how its counterintuitive principles underpin the world we experience. Over the past decade it has become clear that quantum physics is less a theory about particles and waves, uncertainty and fuzziness, than a theory about information and knowledge--about what can be known, and how we can know it.  Discoveries and experiments over the past few decades have called into question the meanings and limits of space and time, cause and effect, and, ultimately, of knowledge itself. The quantum world Ball shows us isn't a different world. It is our world, and if anything deserves to be called "weird," it's us.Call Number: Main Circulating Stacks QC174.123 .B36 2018ISBN: 9780226558387Publication Date: 2018-10-18

Different academic topics may use different lists of subject terms, usually called a "Thesaurus".

When you search online, whether it's a library database or a Web search engine, you aren't searching the actual articles or pages. You're searching the database or index.

library databases have structured information: a record for each "thing" all records within a database have the same fields

ZoteroBib is a new service that helps you build a bibliography from any computer or device without creating an account or installing software

A quick way to do that is to search for the item in Google Scholar, then click on the quotation mark symbol under the entry. A pop-up window with citation style examples includes different exporting options. Choose the Endnote to save the citation and use the Import function in the File menu

check the boxes for "Automatically retrieve metadata for PDFs" and "Automatically rename attachment files using parent metadata." 

If “Automatically take snapshots when creating items from web pages”

make your corrections

Do you … ? … save random URLs in a Word or Google Doc? … save article PDFs on your desktop and as email attachments? … have a pile of article printouts sitting on your desk? … write down citations on sticky notes and post them to your monitor? … stay up late the night before a paper is due reconstructing your citations? If you answered yes to any of the above … the answer is YES,  you need Zotero

You can try this with a PDF file if the text in the PDF can be selected. If not, you can open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro and run OCR on it

Click the parse button and AnyStyle will split the references into segments. If any section is labelled incorrectly, you can select it (use the Shift and Ctrl/Command to make multiple selections or double-click to select an entire segment at once). Then use the Assign Label button to assign the correct label.

You have a plain-text bibliography (it wasn’t generated using any type of tool) Use AnyStyle (https://anystyle.io).

Your citations include ISBNs, DOIs, or PubMed IDs If this is the case, you may want to use the Add Item by Identifier function in Zotero.

it was a problem of the format. When I have erased the word "Print" at the end of each reference, it has started to work

Since BibTex is the only format that is compatible with Zotero

I used AnyStyle.io after every other online reference tool did not recognize my fields.

If someone is still looking for a solution, anystyle is a good one-stop-shop: $ anystyle find <your pdf> # returns a json-formatted list of all the references in the paper Or, for BibTeX output: $ anystyle -f bib find main.pdf # returns BibTeX formatted list of all the references in the paper

If you have many references, you can use AnyStyle, ​an online bibliography ​parser written by a Zotero developer. Export parsed citations as BibTeX or CSL-JSON and import them into Zotero.

Switching to Zotero for now :)

The feature did actually exist in Mendeley in an earlier version (it was buggy, but still impressive!), but not anymore.

this is the link. http://www.mendeley.com/bibliography-maker-database-generator/

this is pretty hard to do

and then proceeds with reading papers that were cited in the review paper.

Just like in Mendeley, I would like to be able to do this in Zotero.

"container-title"

Pro tip: the current model's timestamp is included at the bottom of the parsed results; when training the model, keep an eye on the time to see whether or not your training data was already merged into the model.

The word in, for example, typically belongs to either the editor or container-title segments (in fact it is a good indicator for those fields)

A list of projects is here: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/1211/ Cb2bib uses regexes http://www.molspaces.com/cb2bib/ Citeseer uses a big list of author names and titles. You can have a look at their publication list Here is a project but in python: https://code.google.com/p/pdfssa4met/ Also see these stackoverflow questions: * Extracting information from PDFs of research papers

We recently faced a similar problem and ended up writing our own parser based on ParsCit but using Wapiti instead of CRF++ for the conditional random fields model. Like Mike mentions above, the problem with ML-based parsers is getting good tagged training data; for this we wrote a visual editor that lets you tag the results (and save them as training data). This approach works pretty well for parsing bibliographies. If anyone is interested, we've made both parser and editor available here at anystyle.io.

I've tried Paracite, but it is abominably slow and doesn't produce high quality results.

The metadata in Crossref’s database can sometimes be… spotty*

Crossref metadata contains more than just bibliographic metadata. You need to use query.bibliographic if you want to restrict your query to just bibliographic information. Otherwise you may get false positives.

Instead of trying to parse the citation, just search for the record in a database that already has the citation parsed

If some words are mislabeled, click on the word (holding down Shift to select multiple words) and click "Assign label" to correct them

use an online service at AnyStyle.io [http://AnyStyle.io] to convert the citation list to metadata that your citation management software (e.g., Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote) can understand

Right-click on the selected entries and select "Copy Row(s) as CSV"

install the Firefox or Chrome SQLite Manager

Zotero runs on a SQLite database, which makes report generation and, thereby, conversion to a different format difficult for the lay user. To export Zotero, we will open the SQLite database, submit a query, and then copy the results to Excel

Zotero does not have a default way to export your bibliography with your annotations. To do this, you must install a custom style. Choose the appropriate format from the list below (depending on whether or not you want direct quotes in your bibliography):Annotated bibliography style with the Abstract field [https://edtechbooks.org/-whhY] Annotated bibliography style with the Abstract and Extra field

Amurrū o Amurrum (en acadio): era el término que más se utilizaba en la antigüedad. Con este nombre se denominaban a sí mismos y se convirtió en el término en acadio (también significaba ‘hombres al oeste del mar desierto’, ya que abarcaba todo lo que había al oeste de los acadios). Esta palabra se usaba igualmente para las tierras amorritas que para el pueblo amorrita en general. Los reinos posteriores solían ser llamados también reinos Amurru. También es el nombre de su dios nacional.

Las ocho caras de la Gran Pirámide[editar] Este artículo o sección necesita referencias que aparezcan en una publicación acreditada.Este aviso fue puesto el 25 de junio de 2020. Las ocho caras laterales de la Gran Pirámide Flinders Petrie ya observó, entre otros aspectos morfológicos, que la sección horizontal de la Gran Pirámide tiene forma octogonal, de estrella de cuatro puntas, pues cada una de las caras está compuesta por dos planos, con ligera pendiente hacia el centro, difícilmente apreciable a simple vista por la ausencia casi total del revestimiento, pues solamente se han conservado algunos bloques de piedra caliza, procedentes de las canteras de Tura, en la primera hilada de la cara septentrional. Esta característica y su orientación hacia el Norte geográfico genera en las caras norte y sur un fenómeno de proyección de sombras durante los equinoccios: hacia el amanecer, durante unos minutos, la mitad oeste de las caras norte y sur es iluminada por los rayos del Sol, mientras la mitad este permanece en sombras; hacia el ocaso ocurre al contrario, quedando iluminada la mitad este de las caras norte y sur, mientras la mitad oeste queda en sombras. Es el denominado efecto relámpago.

Cuando el historiador griego Heródoto visitó Giza en 450 a. C., los sacerdotes egipcios le dijeron que "la Gran Pirámide había necesitado 400 000 hombres durante 20 años para construirla, trabajando en turnos de tres meses, 100 000 hombres a la vez".

Pirámides de las reinas[editar] Keops hizo construir tres pirámides más, que se estima debían custodiar las momias de las reinas; se construyeron en el lado oriental de la gran pirámide. En egiptología, estas construcciones se conocen con las denominaciones GIa, GIb y GIc: "G" de Giza, "I" de pirámide de Keops, y "a, b, c" por el orden en que están dispuestas, de norte a sur. Sus bases son rectangulares. En cuanto a las dimensiones, sus aristas son la quinta parte de las de Keops y la pendiente de unos 52º. El núcleo interior era escalonado, con un número diferente de gradas para cada una. Las tres pirámides presentan restos del revestimiento que era de piedra caliza pulida, y todas tienen un pasaje interior, cerca del eje central, para acceder a la cámara funeraria.

Chuckle123VIPMar 18I use non supported fields in page frontmatter. It may not be recognized by Obsidian, but I can query against it. I use the queries in my Workbench page, to list Type/Status of various items. I may not be using it as intended, but it works for me; for now at least. I have found that fine tuning the data and how it’s cataloged is a never ending process; LOLOL. ce

Chuckle123VIP12d@SamAdams, I added tags to the frontmatter, and use them to denote project details. I use Templater for templates, and it gives me the ability to dynamically populate the Path tag. I use Dataview to display the status of my projects on my Workbench. This may not be the intended purpose, but the ability to add tags to the frontmatter allows me to use it as I see fit. — Aliases: Tags: Project Path: <% tp.file.folder(true) %> Status: _Open Priority: 1 — ```dataview Table replace(Path, “Projects/”, “”) as Project, Status, Priority From #Project Where Status = “Open” Sort Priority, Project ``` ce

SamAdams Chuckle1233d@Chuckle123: I am also quite new to Obsidian and have not yet completely understood the concept of “Yaml-Frontmatter”. E.g. it is not clear to me how I can retrieve information that I place in the frontmatter elsewhere. Can you give me an example of your approach or tell me a good source where I can get more detailed information about the Frontmatter concept and its limitations and possibilities?

ShaneNZInsiderAug 3This plugin GitHub - Vinzent03/obsidian-hotkeys-for-templates 52 can act as a pretty solid workaround; set a template per folder, and whenever you hit “new” (default location, or from the file explorer, or via the command palette). For the way I work (single level of folders for different types of notes, all incoming “thinking” notes start in a seedbox) it’s really solid. One bonus of the approach is that I can now open the command palette and type “new def” and I get a command to create a new Definition note in the definition folder with that template applied. tl;dr Have a look at GitHub - Vinzent03/obsidian-hotkeys-for-templates 52 Note: one thing it doesn’t do is apply the template when creating the note from a link in another note. I’ve raised on issue on the Github repo noting this for the developer.

elmsfeuerVIPMar 21Use case or problem All my .md files have a yaml header now that I am inserting from a template. I’d like that to happen automatically. Proposed solution Allow me to set one template to be used as the template for all new files - it’s always inserted by default. Current workaround (optional) Open the template insertion window, find my template, select it. (then edit it.)

Goodguy2021Oct 9Just want to let you know guys that community plugin “Hotkeys for templates” by Vinzent03 has the feature to set default templates for new notes, configurable per folder.

David Allen, author of Getting Things Done once said "Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them."

wanted to find every incomplete task that is due on today's date

This is a win win, both sides get the functionally they want. Not allowing templates per folder is a win lose situation

I see zero reason to argue against templates per folder. Not everyone uses one folder for everything

The template feature is incredibly helpful already. However, right now, it’s quite ironic that everytime you want to use a template - which you created to avoid repetition - you have to choose it on the list… everytime …

ROOTSolves the data analysis challenges of high-energy physics

Fortunately, there are some excellent open source alternatives to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

Bibliographic software (also known as citation software or reference managers)

Once you have finished all references, export them to a BibTeX file using the second button from the right on the toolbar.

making sure that the CITEID field has a different entry for each reference

b2bib converts the PDF files to text using pdftotext and copies the resulting text to the clipboard.

In the second, you select any number of PDF files for cb2bib to extract information from.

In the first, you copy one or more references in a file, email message, or Web page to your desktop clipboard for processing

Essentially, cb2bib has two work cases

cb2bib looks complicated, and has only minimal help available

You should also change the BibTeX database’s name, to avoid having entries from several projects jumbled up in a single database.

When using cb2bib to extract references, be sure that the connection to your desktop’s clipboard is toggled on, using the sixth button from the left on the toolbar; you might want to turn it off if you have to interrupt your work with cb2bib for other uses of the clipboard, but, if you fail to turn it back on, you will unable to extract references.

Many academics and students share a dirty secret: They hate the drudgery of assembling bibliographies

cb2bib is a program to extract bibliographic references from unformatted and non standard sources, like:  - email alerts; - journal Web pages; - and most interestingly PDF files.Output references are written to BibTeX-formatted files. Other features include:  - article files can be linked and renamed by dragging them onto the   cb2Bib window; - editing and browsing BibTeX files; - citing references, searching references and the full contents of the   referenced documents; - inserting bibliographic metadata to documents; - writing short notes that interrelate several references.

Editor features: Bookmarks to local or network files. Update Documents Metadata. Export Selected Entries. Right-click menu functionality. Keyboard shortcuts: Reference list right-click menu functionality. BibTeX Browser Right-Click menu functionality.

Features include: Automatic and manual processing. Article files can be linked and renamed by dragging them onto the cb2Bib window. Editing and browsing BibTeX files. Citing references. Searching references and the full contents of the referenced documents. Inserting bibliographic metadata to documents. Writing short notes that interrelate several references. Output references are written to BibTeX-formatted files. Multiple retrieval from PDF files. Takes input Journal, Volume, and first page from the corresponding edit lines and attempts to complete the reference.

How can I fix this regex so it only extracts APA paper citations (the ones in the references section, not in-text).

Mendeley is a free, web-based tool from Elsevier for managing references, creating bibliographies, and pdf organizer.

The name stands for “clipboard to bibliography (entry)”

This is an example of a pattern which can identify and automatically format MLA-style entries:

results can vary from a useful list of references to a useless mangled text.

Delete the cb2bib_query_tmp_pdf if present, or you won’t be able to download the PDF file for the article if there is a link in the next reference you are going to process.

please share your regexps.txt files, so that everybody can benefit from your work and add/mix patterns to his own configuration

ecause we can process only a tiny fraction of information available on the Web,we must turn to machines for help in processing and analyzing its contents. Withcurrent technology, machines cannot understand and interpret the meaning of the infor-mation in natural-language form, which is how most Web information is represented today

perhaps Zotero can play the regex games that cb2bib (and ParaTools and other desktop programs) play

CiteSeer is an excellent example (http://dx.doi.org/0.1109/2.769447). Their heuristics take advantage of looking at ALL citations within a paper & also a large database of author names, journal names, journal abbreviations, etc.

there already are some projects for Reference Metadata Extraction. see e.g. http://www.iis.sinica.edu.tw/~myday/slides/Slide2005_IEEE-IRI2005_A_Knowledge-based_Approach_to_Citation_Extraction.ppt, http://www.csie.cyut.edu.tw/~shwu/publication/DSS2007_Reference_Metadata_Extraction_Using_a_Hierarchical_Knowledge_Representation_Framework.pdf http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/10065/32280/01506448.pdf?arnumber=1506448, http://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/publications/theses/yongKiatNgThesis.pdf, http://wing.comp.nus.edu.sg/parsCit/, http://paracite.eprints.org/developers/downloads.html also, of course, citeseer does a good job in this

thomasmid April 9, 2011 i think this comment might fit here: I have 500ish pdfs on my computer and a comparable amount of bib data (for each pdf) stored in zotero. They are not associated yet, but I would like to do so for a new organizational schema. Is it possible to automate the process of right-clicking for "add attachment" and then "attach stored copy of file" for all of them? [for example: bulk upload the pdf's as items to zotero and then ask it to retrieve the metadata from my zotero bibs?]

khazaei March 3, 2010 There is a way for that I realized recently. You put all of your PDF files in a folder or different classified folders and then use this free software: http://www.mendeley.com/ in Mendeley, go to File menu and then add folder ( here you address your folder(s) which your PDFs are in). Mendeley import all bibliographic information in your PDF files. The next step is to export you library as RIS and import it in Zotero. adamsmith March 3, 2010 actually Zotero has a very similar feature - it just wasn't available 2 years ago, when the thread was last active. Select the pdfs, right-click and choose "Retrieve Metadata" - last I heard Mendeley's feature worked a little better and they have some clever ideas of using additional data (including user-provided data), but Zotero does use Google Scholar Results as well as DOIs on the first page to get metadata and that works in a large majority of cases. khazaei March 3, 2010 Thank you Adamsmith, It is great, so we do not need Mendeley any more. http://www.zotero.org/support/retrieve_pdf_metadata

It is unclear to me from the documentation how to use this program

I have a large number of PDF files that I have downloaded over the last several years. Is there a way that I can get the bibliographic information out of these files, into Zotero, and then link or store the PDF with that information?

Currently there's not an automatic way of doing this (and it would be hard to implement since PDFs don't have a common place that citation information is stored).

I can't get it to work

It does equally well when I delete the regexps.txt file!

The compilation gives some warnings, no errors, and the programs work fine in Windows 10.

follow the instructions in readme.txt, that is, run ./configure make make install

To compile 64-bit versions of bibutils, you only need to install two packages, gnu make and the gnu compilers. To do so, run pacman -S make pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

rerun pacman -Syu until the system says it is updated

I compiled bibutils for Windows 10 home 64 bit using msys2

I have found some windows binaries of the 3.4 version at : http://bibutils.refbase.org/ however they won't run on my 64 bit system

MSYS has not been updated a long time, MSYS2 is more active

The msys2 wiki is so confusing to noobs like myself

Install a toolchain a) for 64-bit: pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain b) for 32-bit: pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain This includes GCC (the compiler), GDB (the debugger), and more.

pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

probably want to install some tools and the mingw-w64 GCC to start compiling

Update the rest of the base packages with pacman -Su

First run pacman -Syu

To provide easy installation of packages and a way to keep them updated it features a package management system called Pacman, which should be familiar to Arch Linux users. It brings many powerful features such as dependency resolution and simple complete system upgrades, as well as straight-forward and reproducible package building. Our package repository contains more than 2400 pre-built packages ready to install.

the main focus of MSYS2 is to provide a build environment for native Windows software

cb2Bib facilitates the capture of single references from unformatted and non standard sources. Output references are written in BibTeX. Article files can be easily linked and renamed by dragging them onto the cb2Bib window

cb2Bib is a free, open source, and multiplatform application for rapidly extracting unformatted, or unstandardized bibliographic references from email alerts, journal Web pages, and PDF files.

It is defined with a behavior equivalent to:

This function is equivalent to:   asctime(localtime(timer))

%TISO 8601 time format (HH:MM:SS), equivalent to %H:%M:%S14:55:02

%FShort YYYY-MM-DD date, equivalent to %Y-%m-%d2001-08-23

Yellow rows indicate specifiers and sub-specifiers introduced by C99

mktimeConvert tm structure to time_t (function )

localtimeConvert time_t to tm as local time (function )

The extra range is to accommodate for leap seconds

The Daylight Saving Time flag (tm_isdst) is greater than zero if Daylight Saving Time is in effect, zero if Daylight Saving Time is not in effect, and less than zero if the information is not available.

timeptr is accessed, and potentially modified.

/* call mktime: timeinfo->tm_wday will be set */ mktime ( timeinfo );

The values of the members tm_wday and tm_yday of timeptr are ignored, and the values of the other members are interpreted even if out of their valid ranges (see struct tm)

A call to this function automatically adjusts the values of the members of timeptr if they are off-range or -in the case of tm_wday and tm_yday- if they have values that do not match the date described by the other members.

Russia experimented with "permanent DST" between 2011 and 2014.

This assumes that time_t represents seconds, which isn't necessarily the case (though it usually is) – villapx Mar 27 '18 at 21:02

This code won't work unless your time zone UTC offset is in whole hours. There are 12 time zones where this is not true. Ref. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone#List_of_UTC_offsets – Steve Hollasch Feb 25 '18 at 8:30

it is a non-standard (as in, not in POSIX or C standard) function

I didn't notice earlier that you are using dates outside of the epoch, which starts from 1970. Try again with date values in 1970 or later. – Klitos Kyriacou Aug 17 '15 at 17:14 Yep that was it! As long as I set the time after epoch it worked, thanks. – Tim H UK Aug 17 '15 at 18:37

I'm looking to do precisely this with about 4000 PDFs. I simply want to add tags, notes and change title, while only linking to the external files

This was the simplest approach for me to get the data I imported.

I use this PowerShell script to convert pre-prepared excel->csv files into RIS files for further import

You'll see that 3/4 of the code is error checking

My second approach relies on JSON format. I consider CSL JSON format supported by Zotero to be limited and unsuitable for present purpose

The most comprehensive import/export format for Zotero is "RDF"

b.n.lawrence January 29, 2021 Me too. I really want this. The lack of it is the one thing that keeps making me consider leaving Zotero

With a local API, a lot of things would become much easier:- Custom importers for existing libraries (often asked here)- Text mining, similarity search, extracting references from documents.

@adamsmith: Is there hope to get a local API in the future?

I've used it successfully to automatically import files from disk with links, tags, notes etc

It uses the debug bridge to run code locally

adamsmith August 23, 2020 There is no reasonably way to use python on the local database. Zotero doesn't have a local API that's exposed outside of the mozilla framework, so there's nothing python could hook into (it _is_ possible to write a python-based reader for the library, of course. That is part of the Qnotero tool, although likely needs updating since Qnotero is no longer maintained)

Zotero is an excellent open-source reference manager, but it lacks a direct and straightforward way to access your references at the click of a button.

I'm seeking an alternative to qnotero, similar to Qiqqa's InCite feature

access locally hosted database or profile or files is not easy (and, qnotero is not easy to use and no longer maintained), that's the reason I develop the library pyzolocal, short for pyzotero-local

There currently isn't a way to access the javascript API with the Zotero client app. It would be possible to write a simple plugin that would allow you to send arbitrary js commands to Zotero, but no one has done that yet.

The JavaScript API provides a powerful way to script changes to your Zotero library.

Subversion (SVN), which was designed to supersede CVS

Even though I strongly discourage the use of CVS

When you are logged in to the server,

Q: Why is Microsoft retiring MAS? A: Microsoft Research developed MAS in response to feedback from our colleagues that the inequality in accessing large datasets presented a significant obstacle to conducting research and cultivating academic talents in the areas of Big Data and AI. With MAS, Microsoft Research has been proud to contribute to a culture of open exchange and a growing ecosystem of collaborators. As this research project has achieved its objective to remove the data access barriers for our research colleagues, it is the right time to explore other opportunities to give back to communities outside of academia.
