  • Newspaper Article (Under Edit-output styles-bibliography-template) Am I missing a ' at the end of acccess Date|' ? Could that be the problem?

  • after doing my update with the ' after the bar, the accessed date still doesn't show up. just an fyi. So that was not the problem
  • Update your translators via Preferences -> General -> Update Now and give this another go.

    Somewhere (either the RIS "specification" or EndNote user manual) it says that dates should be entered in YYYY/MM/DD/other format. I think the language is (or used to be) stricter for access dates. In any case, Zotero should now try harder to interpret the date if provided in other formats.
  • so preferences in zotero?

    shoot! I just deleted all the files...I'll have to import them again if that is the case.
  • would it help to enter the date YYYY/MM/DD in endnote before I import it in Zotero? Because I can do that now...
  • Zotero should be able to handle them as is. I can't imagine it being pleasant to re-enter those dates.
  • And yes, preferences in Zotero
  • I can do them all at once in Endnote, is it worth it? It'll take a long while to import my 5,000 references into Zotero so I just want to give it my best shot.
  • You should try importing a few references first to make sure that everything is working fine, but you shouldn't need to change the date format. You can do it if you want to, of course.
