Missing fields for "Journal Article"
Hi,
For the scientific community the [YEAR] (eg "2001") of publication is more important for bibliographies that the [DATE] (eg "21 Sept, 2001). Please would you be able to add the field [YEAR] to the list for Journal Articles.
Also all references sourced from PubMed (which how 90% of all biology/chemistry scientist will do) can be found very easily with the PMID - i see that this is now stored in the [EXTRA] field, but it really deserves a field of its own...
thanks

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Zotero is used by people in many fields, so I don't think we would add a PMID as a top-level field, but there should be some mechanism to add it in Zotero 1.5, either through a new (location-esque?) field in the upcoming bibliography ontology that will likely be integrated into Zotero or as a type of unique identifier in the upcoming URI support.
I understand that Zotero can be used to build up librarys from many sources - i'm sure most of the databases that zotero can read from will have some kind of unique identifier for each article? perhaps a more general 'unique ID' could be useful??
(e.g. endnote has a field called 'ascension number' which it saved the PMID in)
Thanks Andy
