repository for retrieval of metadata
Is it possible to change the repository for metadata retreival from pdf's?
Google Scholar-retreived metadata turns out to be inaccurate. Many articles are labeled as books, in one fourth of my cases, the journal name is incorrect. And many items in the bibliography is missing. It turned out that creating citations or bibliographies from a zotero library is a lost cause.
Would it be possible to choose a well-curated repository, such as NCBI PubMed?
Thanks,

Because of its search algorithm, google is much better at "guessing" articles than other databases.
Zotero already uses the more reliable CrossRef if it finds a doi.
Retrieve metadata is not the main way of getting data into Zotero.
Given all that you may see why this isn't a top priority of developers. But I'm sure everyone would appreciate progress here, so if you feel strongly about this and meant to imply that you want to volunteer for coding this, that'd be great.
I'm finding, by the way, that google scholar gets better all the time with respect to data quality.
