BibTeX - terminal bracket confusing Zotero

grubs · July 9, 2011

the BibTeX citation is:

@article{Oliveira_2009, title={USGS monitoring ecological impacts}, volume={107}, number={29}, journal={Oil & Gas Journal}, author={Oliveira, A}, year={2009}, pages={29}}

If I try to import from clipboard zotero doesnt understand the format

If I insert a single line return before the last } as follows then zotero imports without difficulty.

@article{Oliveira_2009, title={USGS monitoring ecological impacts}, volume={107}, number={29}, journal={Oil & Gas Journal}, author={Oliveira, A}, year={2009}, pages={29}
}

This seems like a bug?

(example BibTeX citation from http://www.mendeley.com/research/usgs-monitoring-ecological-impacts/ )

Thanks for pointing this out. The problem is that Zotero wasn't able to read BibTeX that had no linebreaks whatsoever.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/BibTeX.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

It should start working. If this works for you, please post here.

ajlyon - the updated BibTeX.js translator worked perfectly. Thanks.
