I store sources in a physical archive like way, starting with the largest entity and narrowing down to the date and name of the document.
i.e. : Repositiory of original/type of archive/main name of source/date and name of sub-source/document name/
Do you also create a canonical md file pointing to a paper in PDF format?
I suppose you store your PDFs this way
PDF in Sources/Documents/PDFs/YYYY/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD/Zotero-name-of-the-paper.pdf
Then in the Zotero, you do a Attach Link to File right?
I changed the renaming rule to include the citekey, instead of making it a subfolder. This means that my file will be renamed <citekey>-<title of paper> (you can see the example at the very top):
What this means is that for a paper by John Doe, published in 2020 at the conference of Cool Zotero Settings (CZS), I’ll get a citekey like this: doe2020czs.
I’m using the citekey as title setting in mdnotes, so the filenames of all the files exported from include doe2020czs. I can then search my harddrive for doe2020czs, and all the files related to this paper will show up. In Obsidian, I try to follow the same naming convention.
This is just the way it works for me, but Zotfile offers a lot of flexibility depending on the wildcards that you use and work for you.
From the screenshot itself, I’m not sure what could be wrong. Sorry, I’m not on MacOS so I can’t really help you debug there since I don’t have much experience with what works there. Not sure what PDF viewer you are using to annotate, but Foxit reader messes it up in Linux. My suggestions would be:
Thank you very much, I’ve already been surprised by a link in my reference folder (:
To ensure I use the APA’s 7th edition of referencing style, I tested some references. Then I looked at the differences between Obsidian APA and Zotero’s APA 7th edition, which both seem to use APA’s 6th edition template. Since I am (still) an utter noob with this stuff, I’d thought I’d better ask to be sure.
Does Obsidian APA use the APA’s 7 edition referencing style?
For the sake of learning, I tried to add the [[ ]] in Zotero’s APA 7th edition. The result, Obsidian apa7.css (68.3 KB), seems not to work. Could someone help me understand how to do this properly?
i have created a simple Zotero translator that creates a markdown link to your Zotero Item when quick copying (drag and droping) the item into obsidian.
That is wonderful. It works for pdf files, but does nothing when I drag&drop a web Item
