How to avoid using Embedded Metadata with pubmed

Laurent.droso · 2025-07-26T20:33:48+00:00

I am using Firefox, Zotero 7 (64bits), updated translator. When I try to save a reference from pubmed, I get this message which I never got before with Zotero: "An error occurred while registering with PubMed. Attempting to register using Embedded Metadata instead." Then the reference is saved, but badly (for example initials instead of surname for authors), in zotero. I reseted the translator style and parameters, but I still get the same message.

I am using connector 5.0.174, so it is not a connector problem, it seems.

Oh, sorry, on PubMed specifically this is just a maintenance outage on their end:
