BibTeX import: date fields

afshober · October 17, 2006

I use a number of journals whose citation style requires the use of the month when citing articles. Others don't need it but use the issue number instead. Is there a way to have

1) Zotero respect the "month" field from BibTeX (it is zapped now on import)
2) Zotero respect the four-digit year in the "year" field? (Cut to three digits now)

Thanks.

I'm have the 3 digit date problem too, but only some of the time. Is there any explanation for this?

The three-digit problem should have been fixed a while ago. Make sure you're using the latest version of Zotero available from the home page, 1.0.0b4.r5, and have updated to the latest translators (either automatically or manually from the Zotero preferences).
