Upgrade StorageEBSCO import problems
Dear Collective Wisdom,
I routinely import citations from a search screen in EBSCO. I often end up with the following undesirable results:
-The author's name will be followed by "(Author)" [in parentheses, as shown].
-It will give the full name for a journal, e.g., "Music Perception: An Interdisciplinary Journal," when I really just want it to say "Music Perception."
-It will include month and date of publication, when I just want the year.
I've been changing these manually. Is there a more efficient way to make the change? It causes a lot of annoyance for me and my students.
Thanks,
Mark

aurimasWe'd need a sample record to work with. I don't recall if EBSCOHost provides permalinks (I think they do), but you can also describe how to navigate to the page in question. There's no reason to want only the year. Zotero will automatically use appropriate granularity of the date for each citation style. So we won't fix that, but the other data we may be able to clean up.
