Data Unbound

One thing that I didn't know about Zotero was the range of creator types in Zotero. Here's a Chickenfoot script that you can run to list them:

// to explore the range of creatorTypes
// to do:  figure out how to get localized string for different creator types

var Zotero = chromeWindow.Zotero;
var creatorTypes = Zotero.CreatorTypes.getTypes()
for (var i=0; i<creatorTypes.length; i++) {
  output(creatorTypes[i].id + ": " + Zotero.CreatorTypes.getName(creatorTypes[i].id));
}

The results (in Zotero 1.0.7):
