Upgrade StorageSame reference from different sources
Hi all,
We have downloaded the same article from different sources, Zotero created the citation in APA 7th. Well, the result is really surprising both in the in-text citation and reference list entry. (See image).
In the first case, it was downloaded from the Publisher's site, in the 2nd from our Repository, in the 3rd one from our Discovery service, that found the repository version and in the 4th one it was added manually.
Data in Zotero:
Downloaded from publisher's site: all data needed for the citation are available.
Downloaded from the repository: so many data are missing
Downloaded from the discovery service: data are available but incorrectly, e.g. the whole article title is in capital letters
Added manually: author's name is vice versa, if added swapped, it is correct, but 'Cs'. loses its 's', remains only 'C'. Why? If the language is changed into Hungarian, the bibliography cannot be inserted, saying it is being edited (?).
What makes the difference is where is it saved from? How to avoid problems that occur in the last case (author's name swapping?) What to do with it if a patron works both from English and Hungarian sources? (This is typical at current BA/MA theses).
Just a remark: None of the citations are correct.

Specifically:
1) It's wrong to think about this in terms of the citation output. All that matters is the data in your library. For a popular style like APA, Zotero's output will almost always be "correct" based on the data in your library.
2) With any reference manager, you should always expect to check and potentially correct any data manually after saving and before citing.
3) For the saved data quality, we'd need specific URLs to say more.
The URL's are the following:
Publisher: https://journals.lib.uni-corvinus.hu/index.php/vezetestudomany/article/view/1137
Repository: https://unipub.lib.uni-corvinus.hu/9671/ and the pdf-version's: https://unipub.lib.uni-corvinus.hu/9671/1/BCE+VT_2024-2+30-43+3Fabics.pdf
Discovery: https://research.ebsco.com/c/n3fo33/search/details/yjyx7aufjb?q=Methodological issues of accruals, changes in 2018–2021 in Hungary and consequences of their abandonment
(I do not know whether it will work for you, but it gets the data from the repository).
Thanks!
Having imported that Istvan & Kovacs paper from the first link, it looks like it's outputting APA7 correctly: Nota bene, it somehow imports "Number: 2" into the extra field, which should be deleted.
