Submitted instead of published version

daniel.r
For some journals, Zotero using the Zotero browser connector automatically downloads the submitted instead of the published version despite the published version being accessible for me. Is there a way to let Zotero know that I prefer the published version in such circumstances?

For example, this just happened for me for this one:

    Agree that it would also be good to have an option to prevent the download of accepted versions (unless already possible). For us, these earlier versions are never useful. One researcher can easily police his/her usage and replace them, but this becomes messy quickly in groups.

    @sdflewrit783 -- different issue; there are a bunch of threads about completely turning off the OA copy functionality that you can look at, but that's not what daniel.r is asking here.

    @daniel.r -- Zotero will always prefer the publisher version when it can get it. If you're getting a submitted or accepted version, it's not able to download the publisher version. It should be able to do so in this case, though, and does for me. How are you adding the item to Zotero exactly?
