[bug report] some paper in IEEE xplore cannot be read by zotero connector

Report ID: 1280018396

In general, Zotero connector is working fine. But I faced a paper in IEEE explore that cannot be read by the connector.

URL:
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8686528?casa_token=LWKelA0hVuQAAAAA:svyXu3_yUrPbMa5rQen7FqQp9JveF1p_azDt9rCbagVvBsyvpiKsE9YNw2N64gghMDMdO6D0&signout=success

Environment:
OS - windows
browser - chrome & edge

Steps to reproduce:

1. go to URL provided, and see if the connector can read its metadata.
  • The site is serving invalid BibTeX for that item. You can see this yourself if you go to Cite This, choose BibTeX, and click Citation & Abstract. The abstract field is missing a } at the end.

    There's not much we could do (safely) about this. You should report it to the site.
  • @yiwkd2: But you can of course fix the BibTeX yourself in a text editor (e.g., Notepad), copy it the clipboard, and use File → Import from Clipboard in Zotero to import the item.
