ZoteroBib using CrossRef url instead of JStor url, etc.

hi,

I really like ZoteroBib; I've been wanting a tool like this for a long time. So thanks!

Here's my suggestion/issue--

ZoteroBib seems to work better with DOI than url. But with DOI, CrossRef appears in the url which is incorrect for say a journal article from JStor. Here are two examples.

https://doi.org/10.1093/eurpub/cky214.038
https://doi.org/10.1177/0888325402016001005

Here’s how they look after processing in ZoteroBib:

Miskulin, I., et al. “Economic Violence against Women in Croatia.” European Journal of Public Health, vol. 28, no. suppl_4, Nov. 2018. Crossref, doi:10.1093/eurpub/cky214.038.

Lilly, Carol S., and Jill A. Irvine. “Negotiating Interests: Women and Nationalism in Serbia and Croatia, 1990-1997.” East European Politics and Societies: And Cultures, vol. 16, no. 1, Feb. 2002, pp. 109–44. Crossref, doi:10.1177/0888325402016001005.


Note that Crossref appears in the citation just before the doi. Here’s a parallel example from the Purdue MLA guide:

Langhamer, Claire. “Love and Courtship in Mid-Twentieth-Century England.” Historical Journal, vol. 50, no. 1, 2007, pp. 173-96. ProQuest, doi:10.1017/S0018246X06005966. Accessed 27 May 2009.


Any chance ZoteroBib could be adjusted?

Thanks!

  • MLA style is somewhat unique in wanting that information -- it comes from Zotero/Zotbib's "Library Catalog" field, which I don't think we ideally design our import for.
    You can certainly manually correct this in Zotbib (and in Zotero)

    The issue is that if you import using the DOI, there's no way Zotero can now where you actually obtained the article (and there are typically multiple options), so I'm not sure how it could automatically add the correct one.
