APA PsycInfo Information Not Importing Properly

CherylTrask
Editor names are being prepopulated incorrectly into Zotero from OVID's APA PsycInfo database. This prevents the articles from syncing correctly. In my case, the Editor fields need removed (there should not have been Editor information imported at all, as there were no Editors) manually for each article! A complete time waster!

    Is this from a specific URL or when importing a RIS file you've exported? Ovid/Psycinfo generate invalid editor data in exported RIS, and have for years. See this comment for an explanation of why our options to fix it aren't great, and see the following comment for a link to code I've provided to correct the problem in bulk.

    But the expectation is that the Save to Zotero button will correct bad metadata automatically, so if this is happening when using that, we'd want to know.
