How to add row in the info column

Jean-François Ponge · August 19, 2022

I have a document for which I want to indicate both the ISBN (because it belongs to a published book) and the ISSN (because the book belongs to a series). Unfortunately only the ISBN is available when I select "book section" for the document type. Can somebody tell me how to manage that? Thank you very much for your help...

You can add the ISSN in the Extra field (as ISSN: 1234-5678) and citation styles can pick this up if needed. Generally it seems unusual to include both ISBN and ISSN for an item, since the ISBN is a more precise identifier.

Thank you very much for your rapid reply. Yes, I can add everything else in the extra field. However, it would be good if a further version of Zotero could allow both ISBN and ISSN for the the same document (book or book chapter) when it belongs to a registered series. Yes, the ISBN indicates with the best precision the volume in point, but sometimes there is no ISBN for a series volume, only the ISSN of the series has been registered. This is not customary but it happens. Best wishes. JF
