PLoS Computational Biology imports

RobertClegg
Minor requests: when importing a reference direct from the PLoS Computational Biology journal website, Zotero imports the Author Summary instead of the Abstract proper. It also saves the journal name as "PLoS Comput Biol", i.e. the journal abbreviation.

Is there any way to fix this at Zotero's end, or is it a fault on the part of PLoS?

Thanks,
Rob

    No problem: here's the journal website
    http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/
    and here's an example article
    http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003956

    Thanks for taking a look at this

    That's actually coming straight from their RIS export (dropdown menu next to Download PDF -> Citation). It would be best to report this directly to PLOS and have them fix it on their end. If PLOS doesn't want to address it, we can try to fix it somehow, but it would be somewhat ugly.
