Upgrade StorageWhat is the correct .bib which can be imported to be Zotero's "article-newspaper"?
I tried to import the following .bib text into Zotero, trying to be "article-newspaper"
But
Import errors found:
- Don't know what Zotero type to make of 'newspaper' for @r23, importing as document
Also, the text in fields
What is the correct .bib item which can be imported to be Zotero's "article-newspaper", with the newspaper's name (such as "New York Times" in the example above) to be in the 'Publication' in Zotero, pages (such as "3") to get in 'Pages' in Zotero?
Many thanks!
@newspaper{r23,
author = {Doe John},
title = {Transformer},
booktitle = {New York Times},
year = {2014},
urldate = {2022-07-02},
pages = {3},
}
But
@newspaper becomes Document in Zotero, along with a warning message:Import errors found:
- Don't know what Zotero type to make of 'newspaper' for @r23, importing as document
Also, the text in fields
booktitle and pages got lost (in 'Extra' though).What is the correct .bib item which can be imported to be Zotero's "article-newspaper", with the newspaper's name (such as "New York Times" in the example above) to be in the 'Publication' in Zotero, pages (such as "3") to get in 'Pages' in Zotero?
Many thanks!
Accordingly, Zotero exports newspaper articles as article, but that will import as journalArticle on re-import.
If you have the BetterBibTeX plugin installed, you can use @article and include
entrysubtype = {newspaper}to indicate that the article is a newspaper.In general, .bib is a pretty poor reference format because it is not very completely specified and relies a lot on idiosyncratic data entry to get correct results. If possible, it’s better to use a more complete standard for import like RIS or CSL JSON
FYI, the combination of
@article+entrysubtype = {newspaper}in .bib will still be imported to "Journal Article" in Zotero. I have the Better BibTeX installed.
