How to guarantee best possible metadata retrieval for Zotero in pdf design of journal articles?
Hi there,
I have the task to redesign a bunch of journals for a university. I wonder how I could guarantee the best possible metadata retrieval in Zotero based on the layout, design, structure, position, etc. of the metadata on the cover page of the articles.
I would love to see the pdfs of the articles imported to Zotero and perfectly read by it, so that not manual correction of metadata would be necessary.
Thanks for any advice!

Anything else is going to be more error prone: Zotero doesn't do much with data from the PDF itself beyond its title.
Also note that the principal way of getting data in Zotero is not via PDFs but using the browser connector, so more important than the PDF is following best practices for the web portal through which the journal is published: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/exposing_metadata (if you can use something like OJS, that'd pretty much solve this for you)
Thanks in advance!
