Issue with DOI Lookup: Incorrect Publication Date Recorded

blairqin · 2024-11-18T02:36:38+00:00

Hi,

When using DOI to import entries into Zotero, the date of online availability is used instead of the official publication date. For example, the article with DOI (10.1093/rof/rfu009) was available online in 2014 but officially published in 2015. Zotero identifies 2014 as the publication date, whereas CrossRef correctly recognizes 2015 (https://search.crossref.org/?from_ui=&q=10.1093/rof/rfu009). I would appreciate help in addressing this.

My Zotero (v7.0.10-beta.2) magic wand imports "2015-03-01" as the publication date. Same via the FF connector.

Yes, I get "2015-03-01" as well, via both Add Item by Identifier and saving from the article page.

@blairqin, how exactly are you importing? Can you provide a Debug ID?

I’ve tested it again, and everything works correctly after restarting Zotero. I can also confirm that the "Add by Identifier" function is functioning as expected. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
