Authors missing when saving to Zotero from Journal of Chemical Physics
When I select 'Save to Zotero using "Atypon journals"' on a Journal of Chemical Physics article (e.g. http://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.2203068), the record created in Zotero is missing author information. Using the alternative 'Save to Zotero using "DOI"' does capture author information, but I would prefer to use "Atypon journals" as this creates a snapshot and grabs the PDF automatically.
I am happy to help debug this issue, if someone more knowledgeable can point me to the necessary steps.
Thanks!

Click on Tools --> Download Citation, select RIS and uncheck direct Download -- you'll notice that the authors are missing there. That's also what Zotero uses for import.
We can try to work around this, but it's messy and it'd be much better if they could fix it.
Workaround: In the meantime, I have found a simple workaround which avoids having to manually type in author names or manually add snapshots / PDFs for AIP articles:
1. Use the 'Save to Zotero using "Atypon journals"' option to save an entry with a snapshot and full text PDF, but without author names.
2. Use the 'Save to Zotero using "DOI"' option to save another entry with correct author names, but without the snapshot or full text PDF.
3. Select both entries in Zotero and then in the right click menu, select "Merge Items...". In the right panel, select the option to merge items, using the DOI entry as the "master".
The result is a single entry with correct author names and an attached snapshot and full text PDF.
