DOI fields for item types other than journal article

rstowe · July 25, 2023

Increasingly, publications other than papers published in peer-reviewed journals are assigned DOIs. When is Zotero going to add DOI fields for more item types (especially reports, books, and book sections). Thank you --

Eventually.
Meanwhile you can add it to your extra field and that will be transferred to a proper field once available.
DOI: 10........

I first suggested this in 2013. How long is "eventually"? DOI is becoming standard for more than peer-reviewed journals. (I already put DOI into "Extra" when there's no DOI field, but thanks.)

No ETA on features. Good chance it'll happen soon, but could also easily take another year or two -- tweaking the data schema of a complex, synced ecosystem is challenging. In the meantime, the Extra solution works for most purposes (import, export, citation, storage)
