Error in Word plugin when names have umlauts

JLOlivares · May 5, 2020

Using Zotero and its Word plugin, I notice the following error when the first lastname in a reference has an umlaut with the Scientometrics style from Springer. If the author is saved as "Glanzel, W." in Zotero, then the citation in Word is written as (Glanzel 1996) in the text. If the author is saved as "Glänzel, W." in Zotero, the reference is written as (W. Glänzel 1996) in the text.

Here is the rdf with both entries:

How can I fix this? Thanks. JL Olivares

I think you're just seeing https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/given_name_disambiguation

Thanks, I did not know about this. When I first sent my question I did not see the markup of the RDF, but I did not know how to fix it...

(any code, especially html and xml/rdf, should go between <code> and </code>>)

Thanks again.
