Make sure you're using the latest version of Zotero (2.1.10), and select "Update Translators" from the Zotero preferences. There was a change in the encoding used by ScienceDirect, but we've already made changes to accommodate.

adamsmith

nope, doesn't work for me (on 3.02b1 with updated translator. I get
α,β-
instead of the α,β-
Using RIS export from the same site works fine (though w/o abstract).

ajlyon

It's working for me, but I suppose it's possible I have some local changes. I'll look into it.

ajlyon

adamsmith: Does that happen even if you manually install the latest version? The version on Github does have the encoding set correctly. https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/ScienceDirect.js

adamsmith

ah yes, that one works correctly, sorry, should have checked myself. Apparently it's just not being sent to clients.

@pampa360:
save the file ajlyon links to to the translator folder in the Zotero data directory http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data , replacing the old file with the same name. This should work correctly.

I do that and my problem is solved :)

So, thank you ajlyon and adamsmith for your help !!

It's possible updated translators are currently pushed to clients only when the timestamp has been changed.

ajlyon

That would explain it-- this was such an obvious cause that I applied the fix manually, instead of my usual approach of opening the site and exploring using Scaffold (which automatically updates the timestamp when it writes).
