Sciencedirect and date issue
Each time Zotero retrieves references from Sciencedirect, the "Date" field also contains the month of the publication ("October 2008"). This is very annoying given that I have to manually correct all citations in my library. Is there any possibility for the translator to strip all non-numeric characters so that only the year would remain? Or, in case some journals use a more complicated "Date" information pattern, retrieve the 4 leftmost characters?
thanks
thanks
But then I thought "ok, the zotero styles are clever enough. But what if I want to export my library in .bib? Will the date will still include the month?" To be surprise, the month and the year are stored in two different fields so everything's cool!
That's a lot for your feedback, question answered :-)
Are you saying that I can alter how the date field is exported in MODS format? I have scanned the Zotero documentation and searched the forums. I don't see how to do it. The date seems to be stored as month-date in a single Zotero field.
Thanks beforehand.
