Exporting Tags when using Zot2Bib/Bibdesk

Hi,

I am using Zotero for fetching data only. I then use the Zot2Bib plugin for exporting to Bibdesk. However, the tags within Zotero are not exported to Bibdesk (I really do like the auto-tagging of journal classifications). I've read on the forum that tag exporting should work. On the other hand, I have been talking to the developer of Zot2Bib who says it uses Zotero's built-in export-to-BIB capability.

Does anyone know why it doesn't work or how I can get the tags exported to Bibdesk?

many thanks in advance!
  • Tags are exported to the 'keywords' field in BibTeX files. Perhaps you could talk to the Bibdesk developers about importing that field.

    'keywords' isn't 'standard' BibTeX & some applications may use a different name for this field. I don't know, offhand, what Bibdesk uses. But 'keywords' is popular; CiteULike, for instance, also has comma-delimited keywords.
