Upgrade StorageAbstract from WoS in BibTex
I have searched help & forums but a simple Q: I export (save) Web of Science (WoS/WoK) papers + abstract as BibTex (I am on PC & use MS Word). I then Import the *.bib into Zotero & usually works fine except abstracts never available. Have checked simple "Plain txt" export option in WoS & files hold abstract. What am I doing wrong?? I have now imported 1000+ refs & know I am going to regret not having abstracts very soon!! An idiot-proof reply would be appreciated. Zotero is FANTASTIC (I am shouting) Cheers R

History of Black Rats}},

Abstract = {{The Black Rat (Rattus rattus) spread out of Asia to become one of the
world's worst agricultural and urban pests, and a reservoir or vector of
numerous zoonotic diseases, including the devastating plague. Despite
the global scale and inestimable cost of their impacts on both human
livelihoods and natural ecosystems, little is known of the global
genetic diversity of Black Rats, the timing and directions of their
historical dispersals, and the risks associated with contemporary
movements. We surveyed mitochondrial DNA of Black Rats collected across
their global range as a first step towards obtaining an historical
genetic perspective on this socioeconomically important group of
rodents. We found a strong phylogeographic pattern with
well-differentiated lineages of Black Rats native to South Asia, the
Himalayan region, southern Indochina, and northern Indochina to East
Asia, and a diversification that probably commenced in the early Middle
Pleistocene. We also identified two other currently recognised species
of Rattus as potential derivatives of a paraphyletic R. rattus. Three of
the four phylogenetic lineage units within R. rattus show clear genetic
signatures of major population expansion in prehistoric times, and the
distribution of particular haplogroups mirrors archaeologically and
historically documented patterns of human dispersal and trade.
Commensalism clearly arose multiple times in R. rattus and in widely
separated geographic regions, and this may account for apparent
regionalism in their associated pathogens. Our findings represent an
important step towards deeper understanding the complex and influential
relationship that has developed between Black Rats and humans, and
invite a thorough re-examination of host-pathogen associations among
Black Rats.}},

Interannual Variation in Reports of Human Plague Cases in Arizona,

Abstract = {{Although several health departments collect coyote blood samples for
plague surveillance, the association between reported human cases and
coyote seroprevalence rates remains anecdotal. Using data from an
endemic region of the United States, we sought to quantify this
association. From 1974 to 1998, about 2,276 coyote blood samples from
four Arizona counties were tested for serological evidence of exposure
to Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. Using a titer
threshold presumed to be indicative of recent infection (serum titers of
>= 1:256), we found a statistically significant relationship between
years with >17\% sero-positive coyotes and years with two or more human
cases reported. Moreover, when the annual coyote seroprevalence rates
were dichotomized at 17\%, 84\% of the years were correctly classified
using four biologically relevant meteorological variables in a linear
regression. This is the first time a statistically significant temporal
association between human plague cases and coyote seroprevalence rates
has been shown. However, issues with data resolution and surveillance
effort that potentially limit the public health utility of using coyote
seroprevalence rates are discussed.}},

1) Why don't you use the URL bar icon to import from WoS? It will generally result in cleaner imports and less hassle.
2) How exactly are you importing these downloaded files?
As you can see, the BibTeX contains the abstract. If you copy the BibTeX that you pasted, go to Zotero, and use the Gear menu -> Import from Clipboard (not that this should be your workflow, it's just for troubleshooting purposes), the abstract should be imported. If it's not, then see http://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues steps 2, 3, 5
I used File -> Import -> *.bib & bugger me - for reasons unknown the abstracts are now sitting in the right hand column!! Yet I have done this same sequence on 50 odd *.bib files over the past few days - no idea at all.
But many thanks for your time & advice, & should this quirk come back to haunt me, I have your suggestions above to follow. Ditto I will try the URL bar AFTER I have posted this :) Much appreciated - Best Richard
