Place of Publication not saved

mschocken · February 20, 2022

Whenever I save an item from by browser, the citation doesn't include the place of publication. How can I fix this? Thanks.

You'd have to say where you're saving from (i.e. a specific URL), this certainly isn't universal.

Thanks! I’m saving from Google Books with the Zotero Connector, using links such as these:

https://www.google.com/books/edition/Loyal_Subjects/AEVQQ14RA5MC?hl=en

When I save, it transfers all the other information relevant for my citation, except for the place of publication.

Sorry, Google books just doesn't have very good metadata -- you'll see that the location is also not on the google books page, so there's no place to get it from.
For better quality metadata, we recommend library catalogs such as the Library of Congress.

Ah, I see — thanks so much! That’s very helpful.
