Saving author names from Zenodo to Zotero

When I use the zotero plug-in to save the following Zenodo reference, the author names do not save properly: https://zenodo.org/record/3595594#.XpWOvohKjb0.
Both the first name and last name get saved into the first name field.
If I click 'Switch to two fields' and the again 'Switch to one field', it then saves correctly - but this seems to be a hack. Is there something that needs to be fixed to ensure it saves correctly the first time?

Additionally, the institution field saves Zenodo as the institution when it should be blank if no institute was given. Can this be changed?

Thanks
  • The names are entered incorrectly in Zenodo: they should be entered as
    "lastname, firstname", but are entered as "firstname lastname"
    See e.g. https://zenodo.org/record/3524354 for an entry that imports names correctly. We can't correct that reliably on import without breaking other things (cc @bjohas )

    We can fix the institution issue; we're already doing that for theses.

  • Thanks for the tips, that's really useful. It would be great to fix the institution as well!
