Exported reference list from Web of Science (Save to other file formats) -> Records from 1 to 500; Record Content: Author, Title, Source, Abstract; File Format: Plain Text
Zotero -> File -> Import -> choose exported *.txt file
=> no import, error message
Used to work perfectly just a week ago...
Thank you for any advice!

    You should try exporting the file from Web of Science and trying again, or try exporting smaller batches of the same content. The error is for malformed xml data and it's likely that WoS export is broken. If you think the Web of Science export is correct, could you share it with us for testing?

    Thank you for your reply!
    It is indeed most likely a corrupt file that WoS creates. However, it works with some (smaller) batches but not with others. Not visible at a first glance where the problem might lie. Also, problem seems to be more likely to happen when Abstract ex-/import is chosen.
