Upgrade StorageWhy does zotero do this? Using title as author
For example, if I want to use this website as a source: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Micro_Safety.shtml
Using the style: Elsevier Harvard
The citation will be: (“Microorganisms Safety,” n.d.)
The reference will be: Microorganisms Safety [WWW Document], n.d. URL http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Micro_Safety.shtml (accessed 5.3.15).
However, if I use https://www.citethisforme.com/ and use the exact same style: Elsevier Harvard
The citation will be: (Sciencebuddies.org, 2015)
The reference will be: Sciencebuddies.org, 2015. Microorganisms Safety [WWW Document]. URL http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Micro_Safety.shtml (accessed 5. 3. 15).
citethisforme seems to use the wrong date (just because it was accessed in 2015 doesn't mean it was created in 2015), but zotero seems to use the title of the article instead of the organization as the author.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
citethisforme seems to guess the domain name (i.e. sciencebuddies.org as the author -- that may work sometimes, sometimes it won't make any sense, so I don't really think that's the better choice. E.g. in this case, if you want to use an author, "Science Buddies" seems more appropriate to me).
