Release 1.5.0 (2026-06-15): Zotero Name Normalizer now supports field-agnostic normalization — one Normalize Field… dialog to clean any text field (publisher, place, journal, Series, Rights, etc.). Improvements: diacritic‑insensitive surname grouping (Martinez ≈ Martínez), better group-library scope, and a working similarity-threshold slider. Small bugfixes and UX polish. https://github.com/milekpl/zotero-ner @zotero #openscience #researchtools

I've just pushed updates to Citation Relevance Auditor; a modular multi‑agent framework for rigorous, well‑cited papers with LLM help.

6 agents: Strategist (outlines), Literature Scout (search queries), Analyst (extracts claims), Claim Verifier (relevance check), Drafter (writes sections), Reviewer (peer‑review criteria).

Zotero integration Python script included.

Just released the beta of Zotero RAG — a Zotero plugin that lets you ask questions across your Zotero libraries and get answers with direct links to the sources as a note item or a web page.

Under the hood: a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipeline with a FastAPI backend. Supports hosted and local models via configurable presets.

Still in beta — API and features are evolving. Feedback very welcome!
