![]() ![]() A much faster computer would go through it much faster, but there is no immediate silver bullet to circumvent the necessary work. ![]() It is not a bug, it is not a problem with Zotero, nor is it a problem with MS Word or LibreOffice. This will take a huge amount of time of course. If a new item is suddenly added between item 14 and item 15, then the new item needs to be marked as item 15 and all the latter items need to be renumbered and incremented by +1. The reason is to update all the reference numbers throughout the entire text. Any numeric citation needs to be updated if a new reference is inserted somewhere in the text. Now everything makes perfect sense and the solution is clear and definitive. In the first book, I used something like Vancouver (author-date), and in the 3rd book I am using The Open University (numeric, superscript). The answer? It is the citation style that was different between the two books. Why didn’t I have ANY similar lag working on a longer book with 3 times more references than this one? If I add a new reference somewhere in the text, the update/refresh lag used to be enormous, to the point that I was about to abandon further work on the book until I could find a solution for the lag. I never, ever remembered having ANY kind of delay in refreshing the index, adding, removing, or updating any entry, anywhere, at any time during a few years of working with the manuscript.įast forward to my third book, it is 277 pages long with 60+ bibliographic entries. ![]() My first book had 326 pages with 180 bibliographic entries. I usually work on 300+ pages manuscripts with hundreds of bibliographic references and different citation styles. It might apply to most of your writing projects, if not all. ![]() I have found a very simple and 100% effective workaround for the refresh lag in Zotero. Hands down, this is one of the most useful research tools I have come across in my academic life so far. ![]()
