Connector does not capture author names from Annual Reviews

edited March 23, 2017
Using the Zotero Connector plugin (4.0.29.11) in Chrome (Version 57.0.2987.110 (64-bit)) under Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, the author names are not populated. The import as web page does capture the information, but of course classifies the resource as a web page instead of a journal article. Zotero version is 4.0.29.10

An example page where this happens is http://annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-biochem-061516-045049
  • We can try to work around this, but the problem is the Annual Reviews site and they should fix this on their end:
    Click on Article Metric --> Download Citation And then select BibTeX on the page that opens. You'll see that the file doesn't contain authors. That's what Zotero uses, but obviously this would affect any users who would like to use the BiTeX file.

    Please report to them. If this isn't fixed in a month or two, we can work around it, but it's always a bit messy to do that.

    Thanks for the fast answer. I'll report it to them.

    I checked, and it also affects the Endnote and Medlars files. Only the RIS file contains author information.
  • They know of the problem and say it should be fixed in a few days.
  • great, thanks!
