D970703040 - Zotero Connector does not save AMS article journal Info

aytacpacal

Hi,
when I save articles from AMS journals (https://journals.ametsoc.org/) (e.g., Journal of Climate) using the Zotero Connector, the journal field is not being populated. I'm using Zotero v7.0.15, Zotero Connector 5.0.165 on Chrome Version 137.0.7151.56. Other metadata like title, authors, year, doi, and url are saved correctly, but the journal (and address) is missing.
Thanks in advance!

We rarely import the publisher and it's not commonly in the metadata provided by... the publisher. Why do you need this?

Oops, I used the wrong word, I meant the journal name. For example, here is the BibTeX entry from the journal's website:

@article { Quantifyingtheinfluenceoftheseasurfacetemperaturepatterneffectontransientglobalwarming,
author = "Robin Guillaume-Castel and Benoit Meyssignac",
title = "Quantifying the influence of the sea surface temperature pattern effect on transient global warming",
journal = "Journal of Climate",
year = "2025",
publisher = "American Meteorological Society",
address = "Boston MA, USA",
doi = "10.1175/JCLI-D-24-0229.1",
url = "https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/aop/JCLI-D-24-0229.1/JCLI-D-24-0229.1.xml"
}

And here is the BibTeX entry generated by Zotero Quick Copy after adding the article using Zotero Connector:
@article{guillaume-castelQuantifyingInfluenceSea2025,
title = {Quantifying the influence of the sea surface temperature pattern effect on transient global warming},
url = {https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/aop/JCLI-D-24-0229.1/JCLI-D-24-0229.1.xml},
doi = {10.1175/JCLI-D-24-0229.1},
language = {en},
urldate = {2025-06-02},
author = {Guillaume-Castel, Robin and Meyssignac, Benoit},
month = may,
year = {2025},
note = {Section: Journal of Climate},
}

As you can see, the journal field is missing in the Zotero-generated entry, and instead, the `journal` name is saved under the `Extra` field in Zotero (which appears as the `note` field in the BibTeX entry). That’s the issue I was referring to. Since the journal field is required for article entries, this causes validation warnings, and wrong references
