Upgrade StorageBibtex import Failure
I'd love to use Zotero but I'd need to import my existing bibtex files first. And I have never succeeded in doing this with files that load flawlessly in jabref (and are created using that). I deleted all preambles and stuff and it imports some entries but not all. I always get a "Alert. An error ourred while trying to import the selected file. Please ensure that the file is valid and try again." Find below 2 bibtex entried, the first one shows up in Zotero, the second (and all subsequent ones) don't. I can provide you with the full file if necessary. Thanks for any attempt to look into this or for tips on what exactly fails here.

prominent in economists' contributions to the literature, and it

the motivations of F/LOSS developers deserve to be studied more intensively,

at better understanding a set of less widely discussed topics: the
modes of organization, governance and performance of F/LOSS development
