Updating citation information (articles in press/accepted manuscripts)

Catlynnl

Some of the citations I upload to Zotero are "articles in press" or "accepted manuscripts". They do not have volume or page numbers associated with them at that time - there is a just a doi associated. But later (once the paper is officially published), there is updated information (volume, issue, page number). Is there any easy way to update/refresh the information for a citation that is already in my library? Without reloading or manually entering the new information?

no, that'd be nice but there isn't. You'll have to manually change the item.

Okay. I might try to add it to the feature request forum. Is there a terminology for it? Would it just involve re-retrieving the new metadata, or are tags/notes included in metadata?

Not sure where the thread is, but it's been requested before (and no need for a new forum thread in any case—we read all threads).
