I am trying to read tags from a selected collection of bibliographic data in ZOTERO with Javascript.

For those who aren't familiar with ZOTERO: it has an in-built "run JS" panel to work directly with items selected / marked in the standalone version.

This is the script I am using to read data from a selected folder and access the tags:

I have nearly 2500 subfolders with .PDF files created by EndNote reference.

How can I Copy All PDFs in these subfolders to a new single folder?

I want to transfer them to Zotero.

The only programming language I am familiar with is R. Can I do this in R?

If not Python - I can google how to run script.

Could someone assist me.

I'm sorry for a minimally produced question...... not lots of information because it just fails the first time I'm ever trying with this and I am not very skilled in RMarkdown debugging yet.

I'm trying flextable for the first time (interested in controlling table output in both HTML and Word).

Flextable installed and it runs for HTML, but stops any rendering to Word at all. When I try to knit to Word, before I get a new Word file at all, it stops with an error in the RMarkdown panel, being:

I'm writing a manuscript using Rmarkdown with RStudio and knitr. To format the references, I'm using the .csl file for the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography, which I got from https://www.zotero.org/styles.

My problem is that the titles are automatically transformed to sentence case. This is especially problematic for species names, which become lower case.

For example,

My goal is to generate a numeric bibliography in pdf using Rmarkdown and a .csl. However, no matter which .csl file I use, the first word of the references are all slightly misaligned from each other. I suspect it has something to do with how latex justifies but I don't know it or pandoc well enough to figure it out or fix it. Ideally I'm looking for a way to fix it in Rmarkdown. As far as I can tell this doesn't happen with non-numeric styles.

MRE:

First get some numeric .csl files, as far as I can tell it happens with any of them. https://www.zotero.org/styles is a good source, good examples are Nature (nature.csl), Science (science.csl), or Biomed Central (biomed-central.csl).

Then run this to generate a sample bib:

I am using Zotero with Overleaf as follows:

I am relatively new with Pandoc and I am trying to generate an HTML file with my publications to put up on my website. I'd like to have the publication list numbered and organized by year first, with the most recent first and the oldest last.

I can get the numbering fine with the proper csl file, but I can't get the year sorting. The problem is that I'm not first author in all my publications, so what ends up happening is that they are organized alphabetically first and then by date, which is not what I want.

I can get the result I want when generating a PDF by using biblatex with the option sorting=ydnt (Year (Descending), Name, Title), but since Pandoc doesn't use biblatex to generate a list of references to HTML, I can't use this tactic here.

The only way I can see how to possibly solving this is to get a citation style in the Zotero style repo that does what I want, but I haven't been able to find one. So I'm trying to modify one to do it, but without success.

This answer teaches a way to change the sorting style, so I'm trying to manually change the sorting style of the Proceedings of the Royal Society B style. Specifically I'm changing

[edited with fuller example of success vs. error]

In Xquery 3 (eXist 4.7) I am working with a public API (Zotero) that provides a bibliographic list using this GET request : https://api.zotero.org/groups/2304628/items?format=atom&content=tei&v=3

The provider chunks the responses into 25 items each response (3202 expected, as indicated in the first response), so that I have to fetch the next 25, 25, 25... in a loop using parameters. The API response helpfully provides the full URLs with parameters to make the next request:

How can I change the delimiter in case of multiple authors (preferably) in the visual CSL editor.

Currently, the inline citation is as follows:

(Hawking 1966; Nußholz & Whalen 2019)

What I want is to replace & with ,:

(Hawking 1966; Nußholz, Whalen 2019)

I cannot find the respective field in the visual code editor. When searching through the code in the code editor, I found &only four times and I think none of the instances is related to what I want to change.

I've also tried to place the following code (as explained here) into my style but it is not working:
