patent bibliography export leaves out the patent number

Hi,

Thanks for Zotero.

I have found a problem with patent export in Zotero 1.0 beta 3.

I noticed patent support is much better than in beta 2. Generating a report from selected items looks pretty handy, and works fine for patents.

But there are still some problems.

1. If I export selected items to the clipboard, then paste in Word, the patent number and assignee are missing from the citation in Word. I tried all the styles and got the same problem.

2. If I export to BibTeX then the patent number and assignee are missing.

3. Exporting to RIS failed with a dialog box "there was an error..."

Thanks for listening.

Cheers,
Matthew.
  • Hi Matthew -

    I saw that patent number was missing from the bibliography, so before adding a new forum thread I searched and found this one. I use IEEE format and the patent number IS picked up by Zotero , but is not included in the bilbiography when using the Word plug-in.

  • The IEEE dev style now includes patent formatting. You can get this style at http://www.zotero.org/styles or more directly by following this link: http://www.zotero.org/styles/ieee/dev/install
