Scrivener:

Integrating Endnote and Zotero

Scrivener is software for writing drafts. Documents are exported to Word or other
word processors for finalization. (It is also possible to export to electronic formats
for reading in e-readers, which can be useful for drafts.) Scrivener is available at
http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php . This document is about
integration of Scrivener with Endnote and Zotero (p 2).

Endnote:

In Scrivener, go to Preferences (Mac), and choose Endnote as your bibliography
manager.

To insert citations in Scrivener:

1. In Scrivener, go to Format, Bibliography (or Command-y). This will open
Endnote.
2. Find the reference, and select Copy (or command-c). Dont use Copy
Formatted.
3. In your Scrivener document, highlight the word you want the footnote
marker to follow. Click on the Insert Footnote symbol (+fn) in the Scrivener
Comments and Footnotes side bar. (To open the side bar, click on the i
symbol on the top right of Scrivener, and then highlight n on the bottom of
that bar.)
4. Paste the citation in the Footnote holder in the side bar (command-v). It will
appear with author and year in curly brackets, followed by the Endnote
reference number. To include a page number, inside the curly brackets after
the Endnote reference number, insert an @ followed by the page number, eg
{Dixon, 2012 #37@22}. If you want to add other information into the
footnote, do that before or after the curly brackets.
5. Close Endnote before you export your Scrivener document, or when you
finish a writing session.
6. Export your Scrivener document. Both .rtf and .docx exports seem to work.

To format your footnotes in OSCOLA:

1. Open your document in Word. Open your Endnote library.
2. Click Format Bibliography in Endnote. Your references should format in the
OSCOLA style. A bibliography will also appear, unless you have it switched off
in the Endnote Style Manager.

Zotero:

The ODF (open document format) scan is the best means of integrating Zotero and
Scrivener. To do this, you have to install Libre Office or Open Office as well as the
ODF plug in for Zotero. The workflow is as follows:

1. Install the ODF plug in for Zotero.
2. Use the drag and drop or control alt C to take citations as plain text from Zotero to
Scrivener or any other text based word processing program. They will look
something like this: { | Holmes, (1897) | | |zotero://select/items/0_WJQT67A5}
3. When you compile the document, compile as ODF (for Open Office or Libre Office).
4. Use the ODF option in Zotero to convert that document to 'live' Zotero references.
5. You can then open in Libre Office or Open Office and save as word or any other
format.

ODF scan also allows a reverse conversion which allows you to take an ODF
document and return it to plain text suitable for editing with Scrivener.

zotero/

A less satisfactory alternative is to drag and drop references from Zotero to Scrivener,
or to do as described at www.zotero.org/support/rtf_scan. You can then export the
document to Word with formatted references, but those references do not retain
live links to Zotero (ie, they cannot be updated in the Word document, and a
bibliography cannot be generated from the references in the footnotes).
