Zender, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC ABSTRACT Have you ever wanted to insert a superscript. The user can also select any number of Zotero items and automatically rename and move all attachments of these items according to the user defined rules using metadata of the respective zotero item (batch processing). Zotfile sends files to a location on your PC or Mac that syncs with your PDF reader App (PDF Expert, i. Annotate, Good. Reader etc.), allows you to configure custom subfolders for easy access, and even extracts the annotations and highlighted text to Zotero notes when you get the files back from your tablet. Instructions are below. After highlighting and annotating pdfs on your tablet (or with the PDF reader application on your computer), Zot. File can automatically extract the highlighted text and note annotations from the pdf. The extracted text is saved in a Zotero note. Thanks to Joe Devietti, this feature is now available on all platforms based on the pdf.

File then asks the user how to proceed for each modified file. RENAMING RULESZot. File renames files based on bibliographic information from the currently selected Zotero item. You can change the renaming rules in the zotfile preference window under renaming rules (Zotero Actions - > Zot. File Preferences). Zotfile also supports optional and exclusive wild- cards. Optional wild- cards mean that . Exclusive wild- cards such as %s. Other characters between the wildcards and the bar are ignored (%s . Some examples are below. Wildcards%a last names of authors (not editors etc) or inventors. The maximum number of authors are changed under . Einstein.

Abbott, Andrew, and Alexandra Hrycak (1. Measuring Resemblance in Sequence Data: An Optimal Matching Analysis of Musicians’ Careers. American Journal of Sociology 9. But I strongly suggest that you do not change this preference. Instead, there is a second hidden preference zotfile. This is a preference for advanced users without any error checking. Be careful what you do and validate your JSON using this site! By default, zotfile. Below is an example JSON that defines wildcards for %1, %2, %3, %4, and %5 illustrating all the possibilities: String with the name of Zotero field (%1)JSON with item type specific field names (%2)Always include a default value. Otherwise this is not going to work. A list of all item types is available here. JSON with field element and transformations based on regular expressions (%3 and %4)Zot. File uses the specified field as an input string and then applies the transformations specified in operations. The value of field can either be the name of a Zotero field (see 1) or a javascript object with item type specific field names (see 2). Zotfile uses the exec() function based on the regular expression defined in regex, and returns the element specified in group so that 0 returns the matched text and higher values the corresponding capturing parenthesis. If the match fails, this operation returns the input data. Required parameters: regex. Optional parameters: group (default 0), flags (default . Zotfile uses the replace() function with the regular expression regex and replacement string replacement. The replacement string can include $n for the nth parenthesized sub- match string and other special replacement patterns (see replace() documentationn). The wildcard %4, for example, takes the date when an item was added (format 2. Required parameters: regex, replacement. Optional parameters: flags (default . Currently supported are to. Lower. Case, to. Upper. Case, and trim. flags is an optional parameter for both searching and replacing and corresponds to flags for regular expressions in javascript (default: . The fields for each item type are listed on this page. Zotfile defines a number of additional fields that can be used as part of wildcards: item. Type is the language specific item type, formated. Title is the title formatted using the options defined in the zofile preferences, author is the author string formatted using the zotfile preferences, author. Last. F is the author string formatted as Lastname. F, and author. Initials are the initial of the authors. Formatting rules. There are a couple of formatting rules for the user- defined wildcards: Wildcards can only be one character. Use double escape characters in regular expression so that a \d becomes \\d. Always use . Check out zotfile. Finally, the JSON has to be reformatted to one line that can be pasted into the preference field in about: config. Here is the example from above. The minified version in one line is here so that you can copy it to zotfile. Zotfile can extracted annotations and highlighted text from many PDF files. The extracted annotations are saved in Zotero notes and you can go back to the annotation in the pdf by clicking on the link after the extracted text. PDFs are a very complex format and the extraction will never work for all files. If you can not copy & paste meaningful text from the file in your pdf viewer (open your pdf viewer (not the browser plugin), select text, copy and paste it somewhere), zotfile won’t be able to extract the highlighted text either. If you can, there is a chance that future versions of zotfile will solve the problem. When you have a pdf file that does not work or with clear spacing problems, feel free to share the file on the zotfile thread in the Zotero forum or upload it to the zotfile Zotero group in the PUT FILES HERE folder. But only share files for which you can copy and paste text! Otherwise you are wasting everyone’s time. On Mac OS, you can also use poppler to extract pdf annotations (Zot. File Preferences - > Advanced Settings). Currently, pdf. js is more reliable and should be the default in most cases. The poppler- based tool, however, is faster and might handle certain pdf standards that are not yet supported by pdf. Goto Annotation in PDFZotfile adds a link to extracted annotations that allows you to open the pdf file at the page with the annotation. Just click on the link after some extracted text and your pdf should open on the correct location. On Windows, zotfile detects the default pdf viewer and opens the pdf on the correct page (not tested for Windows 8). Adobe Reader, Foxit and PDF- XChange all work (other might as well but are untested). Adobe Reader, however, does not jump to the correct page when the file is already open (Foxit and PDF- XChange do). If zotfile is unable to detect the default viewer or you want to force zotfile to use a different viewer, simply change the hidden option zotfile. Extraction. open. Pdf. Win to the desired path (e. Now a small band of Dylan sleuths led by an Albuquerque disc jockey may finally have found the key. Now Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist David Kinney is spotlighting Warmuth’s research for a mainstream audience in his just- published book, The Dylanologists: Adventures in the Land of Bob. Kinney writes that Dylan had expected to keep Dylanologists busy for a long time after his death: “He said it would take a hundred years for people to figure him out. But what he probably didn’t foresee was the scope of the Internet, and in particular Google Books.”Kinney, a former reporter at The Star- Ledger in New Jersey, said he understands why some fans are uneasy about Warmuth’s conclusions. But he’s convinced that Warmuth is on to something.“There are a couple of different reactions to it,” Kinney told The Daily Beast. All art comes from someplace. Wells, a March 3. Time magazine, and scores of other far- flung source material—even self- help books. Since 2. 00. 3, when a Minnesota schoolteacher came across lines from Dylan’s 2. Love and Theft in an obscure biography of a Japanese mobster, the legendary songwriter has faced accusations of plagiarism. His subsequent album Modern Times also borrowed liberally from the work of Henry Timrod, a Civil War- era poet from Charleston, South Carolina. Dylan’s appropriation has been explained away by scholars and many fans as part of a rich folk and blues tradition of sampling lines from older songs.“That’s something that poets have been doing forever,” says Harvard classics professor Richard Thomas, who has written academic papers on Dylan’s use of the work of the first- century poet Virgil. That’s how folk music works, how the blues works.” But far more compelling—and for many of Dylan’s most ardent fans, troubling—is Warmuth’s contention that many of Dylan’s phrases, anecdotes, and descriptions in Chronicles are cleverly- contrived tall tales, rich with hidden clues and subtle nods to myriad sources, both profound and prosaic.“He tells you plenty about himself on the surface,” Warmuth told me when I got him on the phone. We will not share your email with anyone for any reason. In a scholarly essay published in The New Haven Review in 2. PDF), Warmuth wrote that Chronicles is “meticulously fabricated” and that “dozens upon dozens of quotations and anecdotes have been incorporated from other sources. And that’s the most interesting work to my mind. It really could keep people occupied for a hundred years.”Like many traditional blues and folk singers, Dylan has been known throughout his career for appropriating lines and melodies from others’ earlier work. A well- worn phrase from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic The Great Gatsby was spotted almost immediately by many (including this writer) in Love and Theft’s third track, “Summer Days.”“You can’t repeat the past.” I say, “You can’t? What do you mean, you can’t? Of course you can.”After The Wall Street Journal published a story in 2. Minnesota schoolteacher Chris Johnson’s discovery that numerous lines and phrasings from Love and Theft appeared to be lifted from Junichi Saga’s Confessions of a Yakuza, Dylan detectives began digging deeper.“That was, for me, like the . As a Joe Tex fan, I knew that Joe Tex would have been dead already.”Warmuth threw himself into his new Dylan decoding project. He began studying cryptography, code- breaking and puzzle- solving books. He began crowdsourcing his finds with other Dylan fans, among them Edward M. Cook, a Catholic University associate professor who specializes in Dead Sea Scroll translations.“It just built and built from there, and got more fascinating as we went along,” Warmuth told me. Each discovery—many harvested from simple Google Books searches—drew Warmuth in deeper and deeper. In one memorable passage in Chronicles, Dylan offers a vivid description of country legend Johnny Cash: “Johnny didn’t have a piercing yell, but ten thousand years of culture fell from him. He could have been a cave dweller. He sounds like he’s at the edge of the fire, or in deep snow, or in a ghostly forest, the coolness of consciousness obvious strength, full tilt and vibrant with danger.” Nearly every word in that description, Warmuth reports, has been cut, pasted and recast from the Jack London short story The Son of the Wolf. Indeed, Warmuth eventually would compile a list of Jack London appropriations in Chronicles that ran 1. Elsewhere in Chronicles, Warmuth says he found several anecdotes which are “barely disguised rewrites of stories from Gerry Hirshey’s Nowhere To Run: The Story of Soul Music. When Warmuth found similarities between phrases in Chronicles and Hollywood screenwriter Joe Eszterhas’s book about the Monica Lewinsky scandal, American Rhapsody, he was dumbfounded. You can manufacture faith out of nothing and there are an infinite number of patterns and lines that connect from key to key—all deceptively simple. You gain power with the least amount of effort, trust that the listeners maker their own connections, and it’s very seldom they don’t. Miscalculations can also cause no serious harm.”Page 2. The 4. 8 Laws of Power: “Passion and enthusiasm swept through the crowd like a contagion. For instance, he works in some delicate touches when he recalls his encounter with Archibald Mac. Leish’s poem, “Conquistador.” “In the same passage, though, many remarks that Dylan claims Mac. Leish made in conversation are lifted from Mac. Leish’s introduction to The Complete Poems of Carl Sandburg, where Sandburg’s own “Notes for a Preface” also appear. And in Dylan’s recent albums, it’s not just words that Dylan is appropriating. In a remarkable audio comparison Warmuth posted on You. Tube, he shows how much of Dylan’s Love and Theft appears indebted to The New Lost City Ramblers, a late 1. John Cohen, is the “John” in the Grateful Dead’s single “Uncle John’s Band.”A spokesperson for Simon & Schuster, which published both Chronicles and Kinney’s new book The Dylanologists, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Dylan’s writing techniques. A spokesperson for Dylan also declined comment. For his part, Dylan’s only public comments on charges that he appropriated or plagiarized some of his later work came in a 2. Rolling Stone interview, where his response was explicit and unequivocal: “All those motherfuckers can rot in hell,” he said. It goes way back.”Thomas, the Harvard classics professor, agrees that Dylan’s pastiche approach falls within a well- established literary tradition.“You could start with . To underscore his point, he quoted to me Virgil’s response to charges of that he plagiarized Homer, as recounted in Roman historian Suetonius’ The Life of Virgil: “Why don’t they try the same thefts? They’ll find out it’s easier to snatch Hercules’ club from him than a single line from Homer.”“What Virgil meant by that,” Thomas explains, “is that to steal means to improve upon, which is basically what Dylan is doing.”Thomas himself has spent years delightedly uncovering and crowdsourcing allusions and appropriations to Ovid and Virgil in Love & Theft, Modern Times and Dylan’s 2. Tempest. He and others, including a New Zealand creative writing teacher, have crowdsourced 1. Ovid on Modern Times alone. Dylan’s “layering of his work with intertexts from Ovid and Virgil enriches and universally changes the context of those lines, so that where we first heard a line from Virgil—with Dylan’s intertextual usage of the line in a new context—it becomes something new.”Thomas says Dylan’s unique brand of recycling language and melody is consistent with his literary predecessors.“The start of the process is to discover that the theft has happened, but what’s really important is the next step—to think about what effect the intertext in the song has on you as a listener.”“Whether it’s Timrod or Ovid or Twain, literature is letting the prior context be transmuted into something completely new.”Put another way, Thomas says, “If you’re dumb enough to believe this is like a student plagiarizing a paper in school, that’s your own problem.” Neither Thomas nor Kinney believes that every last “citation” Warmuth has uncovered is irrefutable, but both feel he has stumbled onto a significant new way to understand Dylan’s creative process.“The question is. What Dylan appears to be doing in Chronicles and elsewhere in recent work is “sort of like a little parlor trick,” he says.
