Zotero Crashing (latest version)

Ayerbender

My zotero isn't opening. I thought it was because I recently installed the Scite and Clean DOI plugins. I disabled Clean DOI because Zotero wasn't extracing ANY data when I tried to load from website. After disabling clean DOI, Zotero keeps crashing, and I get this whenever I try to load it. (I removed both add-ons in the 1sec or so I had before zotero would crash):

There was an error starting Zotero.

You can report this problem in the Zotero Forums.

See https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/95418/scite-plugin-not-working-zotero-6-0-1#latest

cleanDOI is an internal Zotero function that throws an error because some of the things going wrong with Cite. The DO Manager (?) add-on you installed is almost certainly unrelated to all this.

@Ayerbender: So just to clarify, this was caused by a bug in the Scite plugin corrupting your database. Zotero 6.0.2 now corrects the field values corrupted, and Scite plugin 1.11.5 fixes the bug:
