Bug with bibtex import

Guillaume Larocque
Hi, I have been importing a bunch of bibtex bibliographies (from Scopus) to Zotero and I just noticed that only the first author of each reference is imported to the Zotero library, although they are clearly listed in the bibtex file. Is this a bug?

Thank you,

G

    in my (somewhat limited) understanding of BibTex, multiple authors should always be separated by "and" not by a comma. This would seem to be a Scopus issue.
    The Wikipedia entry is actually explicit about this
    Multiple authors should be separated with an and, not with commas:

    To confirm, BibTeX.js:1558: var names = value.split(/ and /i); // now case insensitive
    Commas are already used for name suffixes and between first and last name.
