# ZoteroTidy

[![Streamlit App](https://static.streamlit.io/badges/streamlit_badge_black_white.svg)](https://share.streamlit.io/chraibi/zoterotidy/main/app.py)

This is a diagnostic tool to ease maintaining a Zotero library.

It implements some repetitive, simple, but annoyingly repetitive tasks such as:

- List all duplicate items and/or merge them.

- List all items with no pdf files

- List all items with duplicate pdf files and/or delete them (but one).

- List standanlone items

- List items with some flaws, e.g. missing doi/isbn numbers or "ill-formmed".

- Update and/or delete some tags

- ...

## Example

**Before**

- 11 Items

- 2 Items are duplicates 

- 5 Items have duplicate pdf files



**After**

- 9 Items

- 0 Items are duplicates 

- 0 Items have duplicate pdf files



## Limitations

For read-only operations, the app is quite fast.

The UI needs some polishing. The `syncing` and `loading` can be put together. Might need some *advanced* Streamlite skills, though :trollface:

## Requirements

The notebooks use [Pyzotero documentation](https://pyzotero.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

But they are kinda absolete. You should use the Streamlite-App in the link above.

## Credits

Some parts of the merging function are adapted from [zotero-cleanup](https://github.com/christianbrodbeck/zotero-cleanup).
