Zotero Connector not working on APA Psyc Net

boutins · September 9, 2022

Hello,

I am trying to save my search on APA Psyc Net to Zotero using the Zotero Connector in Chrome. I see the icon of a folder in the connector so it seems Zotero recognizes that I am trying to save multiple documents and it also says that the translator works and is supported on APA Psyc Net but when I try to save to Zotero, it says that an error occurred. I do not have this kind of problem with other databases such as PubMed. Could you please help me with this issue?

Thanks!

Can you provide an example URL?

Here is the URL for the results of my search.

PsycNet appears to have changed their site. We'll try to update the translator (though PsycNet is a user-hostile site that's very hard to support).

I experienced the same problem after trying to save just one PDF article from PsycNet to Zotero. Instead of saving the article, Zotero uses the embedded metadata and generates a correct journal article entry but with a wrong format in the date field.
