  • This look like an error in the info associated to the item. Could you confirm the author names are 1) unique and 2) entered as two fields in Zotero?
  • Yes, This is a data entry issue. Be sure all the authors are stored in “Last, First” format in two fields in your Zotero library
  • Specifically, this looks like every author is duplicated, once in single field, once correctly -- do you remember how you imported that item (the Library Catalog field might show this)? I don't get that either by using the Save to Zotero icon on the article page or by using the DOI
