Additionaly, on Computer A, these particular documents are showing up in the bibliography with just the year - no title, no author despie the fields for these being populated correctly.

which citation style?

generally "document" is not a recommended item type to use and will not work correctly in a fair number of citation styles.

That is interesting.I am trying various Physics numbered styles and having the same problem with all of them.I wondered if it was the class of document.I normally use that for PDF's.188BET靠谱吗It is the first time I have used Zotero for Word.My previous experience was within Lyx.

I don't now as that is also causing the sync problem.

adamsmith

which citation style?
Generally, "Report" is better for working papers like arxiv papers etc.

Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data

188BET靠谱吗I had the bibliography problem before I installed Zotero for Firefox and Zotero for Word on Computer B.Still no luck syncing with computer B.

adamsmith

yeah, use report and that should work better (the AIP style which the journal uses is particularly bad in this case, as it doesn't include titles for journal articles).This isn't a bug and is unrelated to your sync error.

You're running Firefox 8.0.1, which is extremely old (and likely has security vulnerabilities).Upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, and make sure to enable automatic Firefox updating.

longtermrenter

Thanks for the advice.Can you recommend a superscript numbered citation style like the one I was using which allows for documents, reports and websites etc?

longtermrenter

I also want one that has superscript numbers for the citation and normal numbers in the bibliography.

adamsmith

you could try Vancouver superscript.

longtermrenter

188BET靠谱吗Thanks for that - I think Iused a variation of that before - so long since I used Zotero.Once you have it set up its a great bit of kit.

Thanks again for your help.Firefox updated now.188BET靠谱吗I tend notto update it because of addons just like Zotero not working with new versions but in this case it was the other way round.

adamsmith

188BET靠谱吗Zotero always works with the latest stable release of Firefox.
