Hi. Glad that you found the video useful. Linked files cannot open on iPad or iPhone. Let me explain why they can't open on the iPhone. When you link a file say a pdf research paper or article to an item in your desktop Zotero, only the link to that item is saved inside Zotero. Say you have a pdf file in your laptops documents folder. You create an item in Zotero , right click on it and choose 'add attachment' and then choose 'linked file' - what is saved is the path where the pdf is stored on your desktop computer i.e. say c:/documents/paper.pdf - just this path rather than the whole pdf is stored by Zotero. If you are working on your desktop/laptop and click on this attached pdf from inside Zotero, it will show you the pdf contents as using the path it can open the PDF located in your laptops documents folder. So on a laptop, this could be a space saving measure as you already have a pdf copy in one folder, why duplicate it inside the Zotero folder also on the same computer. This may work if you just use your laptop to access your Zotero repository ( in my view it's not a good practice as you can always accidentally delete a pdf file kept in some folder which has been linked inside Zotero) But when this arrangement is synced on your iPhone i.e. the iPhone also gets this link in attachment which is basically just a path to the pdf file which is physically located on your laptop - that is when to tap on this link in attachment inside Zotero on the iPhone, it tries to open c:/documents/paper.pdf and as it can't just waltz inside your laptop directly in this way and pickup the pdf ( this path means nothing to the iPhone), it politely informs that "linked files are not supported". The solution is simple and you can try this with one item - just create a test item on your desktop Zotero manually, right click on the item and choose 'add attachment' and then choose 'file' ( not linked file) and point to a pdf on your computer - say in the documents folder - paper.pdf. Or otherwise ( if you don't want to manually create an item) just drag and drop that pdf - say paper.pdf - inside Zotero my library or some collection. Now when you choose file in place of linked file or drag and drop a pdf inside zotero, Zotero instead of saving the path to that file, saves a duplicate copy of the entire pdf inside its Zotero folder. When sync starts now , it uploads the entire pdf (and not just the path to the file) to the cloud storage and as your iPhone is connected to that cloud storage ( via webDAV), it can easily download and open the PDF -(it has access to the cloud storage). So try this out and you should be able to read it on your iPhone. So in summary, if you want to read full pdfs on your iPhone, make sure that item does not have a linked file attachment in your Zotero desktop app. Please let me know if you have any problem doing this and I will explain it via a video or some additional screenshots. Hope this helps.

@@ChinmayaSinghRathore Thank you so much. Thanks to your detailed explanation, I realized that I had changed various file paths while setting things up before watching your lesson. After reinstalling Zotero and following the setup as instructed in the lesson, I am now able to read PDFs on both my iPad and iPhone. Thank you again for your help. 😁😁

@@yukyunglim6120 So glad that it worked out.

Many thanks for your kind appreciation. Very happy that you found the tutorial useful. Many thanks for the useful tip. I agree. Thanks again for your kind words.

Many thanks for your very kind words of appreciation. Felt very happy. Glad that you found this and other other videos in this Zotero 7 series useful. Many thanks once again for your very kind and encouraging words. 🙏

Many thanks for following the series and for offering very valuable suggestions and tips.

Many thanks. Glad it was helpful!

Hi. Thanks for your valuable suggestion. The Zotero plugins are a bit scattered so it is a bit difficult to know about recent ones or really useful ones from a single consolidated location. Also the plugin architecture has changed for Zotero 7 so some useful plugins like Zotero folder import or zotfile do not work in Zotero 7. I did not come across any exclusive plugin store for Zotero. The documentation page for plugins, which I shared in the video, is the only location that has a list. Two good resources you can consult on this are as follows but you might have to see if plugins mentioned work in Zotero 7: citationstyler.com/en/wissen/the-best-zotero-extensions/ github.com/MohamedElashri/awesome-zotero Hope this might be useful.

Glad that you found the video useful. Thanks.

Hi. Yes you can I guess. But you must type it in the grey field area otherwise it might be left out of the citation parenthesis or brackets. The thing is when you are citing a reference, it might be more organized to finish it in one shot rather than leaving some bits to type later after you have inserted the citation. Also adding prefix and suffix at the time of citing through Zotero ensures that you do not mess up the cited field later on by typing inside it in word. So when you do it in one shot from inside Zotero, there is no need for you to tinker the cited field after entry. In big documents with many references, this can become a Hassel to add / edit / delete. There can be another issue. While I used the Harvard style in the video, there may be other citation styles like IEEE that may not be so intuitive in terms of adding prefix/ suffix via direct typing. Using it from inside Zotero relieves you of all this burden. Zotero places the prefix / suffix as per chosen style rules and that burden is not taken by the author. My personal preference therefore is to do the suffix prefix from inside Zotero and let the software worry about placements as per chosen style guidelines. This way I just cite in one step and then forget about it and do not need to tinker the citation field. Hope this helps.

@@ChinmayaSinghRathore ok perfect! I will try it out. I think the only downside of doing it in Zotero may be that if you add extra references after, the "see" may have to be placed with the newly added article (e.g., in APA if the newly added article comes alphabetically before the existing ones). Same for "see for more examples".... it should come after the last alphabetically in line, so it may need some changes

Hi, Thanks for your question. Although you haven't mentioned which browsers you are using, I have the following that you can try in sequence. 1. First make sure that you are using the latest version of Zotero. As I write, the latest version is 7.0.3. So please go to Zotero Help > check for updates and install any updates. That done, please try the following and see if you are able to solve the issue. BTW, Zotero does not take snapshots of some kind of web pages. So for testing, try to take save the following page using the browser Connector . www.un.org/en/climatechange/what-is-climate-change Try the following 2. There is a setting that users can check uncheck and that affects all browser plugins. In Zotero 7 and also earlier versions you can reach it as follows: Edit > Settings In the General Tab and under file handling, make sure that the last option - "Automatically take snapshots when creating items from web pages" is checked. With this setting on , Try saving a web page and see if issue is resolved. If not try the following. 3. Disable the Plugin and enable it once again from inside your browser and check if it starts working. Hope this helps.

​@@ChinmayaSinghRathore Thank you very much for the detailed answer. It worked. For me, the 2nd point was missing. My checkbox was not checked.

Hi, Thanks for your question and your insightful observation. The citation style that I used in the video is "Cite them Right 12 edition - Harvard" . This citation style, (to the best of my understanding) uses the following rule for inline text citation using multiple sources: It orders citations chronologically - earliest first to latest last - and not alphabetically. So in this case, as Pielke and Sarewitz was published in 2005 , it appears first and Clavin et al. published in 2023, appears after it in the citation. You can read more on this at the following University of Birmingham cite under the Citing Multiple Sources Section (scroll down the page to expand this section) . intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/as/libraryservices/library/referencing/icite/harvard/intext.aspx You can also try this out with a couple of citations by changing the year in the Date field and seeing the result. If two citations have the same date ( or just the same year - no date just year - in the date field) of publication, then per this citation style , the citations will then be sorted or ordered alphabetically . I cannot claim to be an expert on different citation styles but I hope this helps answer your query. Thanks and Cheers

Many thanks for your kind appreciation. Glad that you found the video useful. Cheers

Thanks. Glad you liked it !

Thanks for your helpful observations .

I had originally not planned this in this series but will try my best to explore this in an upcoming tutorial possibly next week. Thanks

Hi. Many thanks for two insightful question. Yes It is possible ( 300 PDFs in a folder). I will show this in an upcoming video maybe later this week. As far as being able to see highlights done inside Zotero PDF reader in external PDF readers such as Acrobat and Sumatra PDF reader etc. goes, it is not directly possible to the best of my knowledge as Zotero stores PDF annotations in its database. However there is a workaround to do this whenever such a need arises ( like sharing a few PDFs annotated inside Zotero with someone ). I will include this solution also in the upcoming tutorial later this week. Thanks for these great questions.

Many thanks for your appreciation and useful. suggestions.

View > Navigator as shown at 3:40 in the video. Cheers

@@ChinmayaSinghRathore thank you for the quick reply! This opens an undocked modal. I am not sure how to dock anything on the left.

@@MattM-df5sf grab that free modal drag it and bang on the left side of your screen ( drag it to the left of your screen and keep going till you can't anymore) and then release your mouse button. The modal should dock. 👍

@@ChinmayaSinghRathore oh my god I can't believe I didn't get that. I am used to programs previewing the docked state before you release the button so I never released the button. Thank you for the explanation!

@@MattM-df5sf glad that the issue got resolved. Cheers 👍

Hi. Thanks for your question. I do all my video editing in the free and opensource software kdenlive: kdenlive.org/en/ In kdenlive, you can create title clips ( Project > Add Title Clips) which has options for putting images, boxes , text and such to overlay your video. So no other special or fancy software, just the video editor kdenlive. If you wish to have a closer look, you can browse the following page to get a sense of creating video overlays: docs.kdenlive.org/en/effects_and_compositions/titles.html Hope this helps.

Many thanks for your very kind words. Glad that you found the video useful 🙂

The section starting at 18:23 covers importing books. Zotero includes a PDF reader that allows annotation, highlighting, etc. That is covered in the section starting at 22:31. Hope that helps.

Hi. Many thanks for your question. The answer is yes absolutely. I have uploaded lesson 2 today and you can see this at around 17:00 in the video. Cheers

Many thanks for your kind appreciation. Glad that you found the video useful. Thanks for pointing out that tooltip shows image dimensions.

Many thanks for your very kind words of appreciation. I am so glad that you found the tutorials useful 😊

Hi. The video already shows how to move between pages in LibreOffice Writer. Apart from moving between pages, the LO navigator can also be used to move between headings, bookmarks, fields and many other documents objects as shown in this video (see minutes 4-8). LibreOffice is NOT Microsoft Word and therefore it presents its menus in its own way and does not attempt to appear like Word or copy it's interface. A small amount of adjustment is therefore required by the user which I am sure becomes quite natural when one starts using the software regularly.

Many thanks for your kind appreciation. Glad that you found the video useful.

@@ChinmayaSinghRathore I really did and it saved the day, haha. So far, I've written them out manually and I shouldn't have (and losing marks). Following this video, I was able to enter than digitally; learning so much. It's crucial as I study biomedical science.

Many thanks for your kind words. I am glad that you found the video useful.

Hi. I think LO cannot to the best of my knowledge automatically detect multiple languages as you type and autocorrect or spell check. I found a recent conversation on a forum which does suggest some workarounds. I haven't tried this but you can give it a shot if this is important for you. www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/1dsg9kw/using_two_languages_simultaneously_in_libreoffice/ Hope this helps.

@@ChinmayaSinghRathore Thx, interesting. So far I've only used one language, english, but was curious.

Hi. Great question. As you enter data , you can move to the next field by pressing TAB key. After entering the last field, press ENTER and that data row will be added to the sheet. Infact while entering data for a row, whenever you press ENTER, the row will be added to the sheet. So use TAB key to move between fields and press ENTER only after your last entry. Try this on a small table like Name, Age, Salary , type in data for two rows like Kim 24 3000 and Joe 32 4000 Now click anywhere in this data block and choose Data from menu and then form. You can see this happening clearly in this small table. Hope this helps.

Hi. Many thanks for a great question. Whenever you open a sheet in form mode, first click on any cell in the header row and then Data > Form to open a form. This starts the form from the 1st record. You will notice that there is a small slider next to the displayed form data. Drag it all the way down till you see New Record appear where record numbers were being shown. You can now enter a new record without overwriting previous entries. Use TAB to move between fields as you enter data and once done press Enter to finish entering for that row. I have created a small silent video to demo the above which you can see from the link below. Hope this helps. drive.google.com/file/d/14bgGm9lbBDRC6K-9Rh-ncD6u8Ux3LVan/view?usp=sharing

Hi. Thanks for your question. Can you please be a bit more specific about "a filter gallery" or what you were expecting to find. Thanks

Thanks a lot. Wonderful additions and suggestions. 👍

Many thanks for your kind words of appreciation. I am glad that the video was helpful.

Hi. You can do this in any GIS software Like QGIS or ArcGIS easily by reading in the KML or KMZ file and then saving it as shapefile. There are some online converter tools as well. Just Google online KMZ to SHP. As far as online tools go, it is a good practice not to upload any sensitive data on third party computers in the cloud. You can find some guidance to do this offline in QGIS and ArcGIS in the following article: mapscaping.com/converting-between-kml-and-shapefiles/ Hope this helps

@@ChinmayaSinghRathore Thankyou sir.
