    "RZotero This is a set or routines for interacting with my Zotero library. I love Zotero, but it lacks some key features. Hence I was interested to see if these could achieve some of the things I was after in R. Note, this material is in development and not currently working, so I do not recommend using it, at this stage. My Zotero Wish List Here are some of the features I would like: Find and replace function Ability to automatically clean journal names, according to a list of journal name substitutions Ability to modify the author list Ability to retrieve missing abstracts based on DOI Ability to find missing DOIs Ability to delete many (all) tags (i had hundreds) Ability to analyse data from my library in R. The best thing about Zotero is that it's open source and free. The software is maintained by a community of developers who give their time for free, and are actively working on improving it. However, there is also limited resources and a long queue of feature requests: @adaptive_plant @_inundata one thing @zotero does not lack is requests for features... much more helpful would be patches to 100+ tickets - adam.smith (@adam42smith) April 20, 2013 Accessing Zotero via the Sql database The best way of interacting with your Zotero library is to write some code which connects to Zotero's server or Javascript API. Unfortunately I don't have the requisite skills to do this. Another option is to access Zotero the local copy of Zotero's sqlite database. That is the approach I have taken here. Working with the sql database is fine for read-only actions. Writing to the sql database is not recommended as any updates may not be passed on to server, meaning you have to reset the server data to get the update processed. To get started, I followed the example code here , which uses the "RSQLite" package. Database structure The database structure is described here. An easy way to familiairse yourself with the structure is to download sqlitebrowser and poke aro

Blogging Innovation: Human Capital x Social Capital = Productivity and Innovation - Lat... - 0 views

  • At a recent TED talk, Dan Pink, author of "A Whole New Mind, Why Right Brainers will Rule the Future", made the case for businesses to rethink their "business operating system":"There is a mismatch between what science knows and what business does. And what worries me, as we stand here in the rubble of the economic collapse, is that too many organizations are making their decisions, their policies about talent and people, based on assumptions that are outdated, unexamined, and rooted more in folklore than in science. And if we really want to get out of this economic mess, and if we really want high performance on those definitional tasks of the 21st century, the solution is not to do more of the wrong things. To entice people with a sweeter carrot, or threaten them with a sharper stick. We need a whole new approach."

Diffusion Simulation Game: Welcome and Login: Instructional Systems Technology, School ... - 0 views

  • The Diffusion Simulation Game was created in the Department of Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University Bloomington. This Web version was led by Dr. Ted Frick with designers Barbara Ludwig, K. J. Kim and Rui Huang. The DSG is based on a board game originally developed by Dr. Michael Molenda and Patricia Young, and is based on research on diffusion and adoptions of innovations.

Zotero Forums - Use of zotero with delicious, diigo, etc. - 0 views

  • how about using a tag to trigger a sync:in diigo:add the tag "zotero" - you can then manually (?automatically) ask zotero to check whether it has already added "zotero" tagged items. It can also pull down comments into zotero notes, sync the other tags, and add a link back to the diigo page.in zotero:add the tag "diigo" This would cause a new diigo bookmark to be created, including addition of annotations from zotero notes.the difficulty would be in keeping track of which note in zotero corresponds to which annotation. A one-off copy would not be very good. Maybe include a unique code with each note (ugly), or use a fuzzy match so updated annotations are recognized, providing they have at least a few words in common.

    Does this approach make sense to anyone? I'm trying to imagine hoe Diigo and Zotero can compliment each other.

    Do Diigo and Zotero play nice?

Newton, Goethe and the Process of Perception: an approach to Design - Ji Platts - 0 views

  • Orstein defines intuition as "knowledge without recourse to inference"
    • Terry Elliott
       
      definition is very powerful-meaningful-resonant
  • What Goethe is establishing is not only that the reverse is true, that it is in fact a higher level ability, but that it is a mode of thought which can not only be developed in a highly articulate way but can be developed as a very precise way of thinking and is not in the least vague.

getting_stuff_into_your_library [Zotero Documentation] - 0 views

  • Zotero can import the following bibliographic file formats: Zotero RDF MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) BibTeX RIS Refer/BibIX Unqualified Dublin Core RDF
  • Titles In English, titles are typically either Title Cased or Sentence cased (for the distinction, see http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2012/03/title-case-and-sentence-case-capitalization-in-apa-style.html ). Because citation styles differ in their casing requirements, and because automatic conversion of sentence case to title case is much more accurate than the other way around, we recommend that you store titles in your Zotero library in sentence case. Zotero can then reliably convert titles to Title Case in rendered bibliographies when the chosen citation style calls for it. To help with changing the case of titles, the title fields (e.g., “Title”, “Publication”, “Series Title”, “Short Title” for the “Journal Article” item type) can be right-clicked. This shows the “Transform Text” menu, with options to convert the title to either “Title Case” or “Sentence case”. Zotero does not recognize proper nouns, and transformed titles should always be checked for capitalization errors.

retrieve_pdf_metadata [Zotero Documentation] - 0 views

  •  
    Zotero can take PDFs of scholarly papers and query the Google Scholar database for matches. The most straight-forward way it does this is by matching up an embedded Digital Object Identifier (DOI), but that's far from necessary. If Zotero finds the PDF in Google Scholar, it creates a new library item for the paper, downloads the bibliographic metadata from and attaches the original PDF to the new item.

  • EasyBib: a basic bibliography/citation maker. Works through an on-line interface to build a reference list, which you can then export to MS Word or another word processing programme in RTF. If you register, you can save multiple reference lists online and share them with other users and such. I didn’t register (even though it’s free), so I can’t vouch for whether or not this works well. Major drawback is that it only builds bibliographies in MLA style. A cool feature is if you’re citing a book and you have the ISBN, EasyBib can automatically populate the reference fields for you.
