Hello
A software that is very interesting, in particular because of the choice of formats and the simplicity of use, but which suffers from a significant linguistic handicap. The dates, even entered in French, are written in a heterogeneous format, half French, half English (17 March 2019), which requires manually modifying all the dates that would appear in a bibliographic record.
This is not insoluble (neither for the user nor for the software developer), but other software does better in native … I could not find a parameter to display the dates in French format.
…This does not detract from the quality of Toolstice.com …, which is a very good resource for discovering user sites and software.
Indeed the English language is a concern. But these bibliographic reference tools all have "flaws", it is necessary to regularly manually modify the references that are either incomplete or erroneous.
We present Zotero to our high school students, a tool they are likely to use later in an HES or university.
Hello,
Many qualities, it is true, however, my attempts to retrieve bibliographic data from articles from French SHS journals, by DOI or by title, have failed most of the time. Or would I have done it wrong?
On the other hand, no problem with books (always in French).
