Hi,

It looks like for certain scientific journals the 'publication date' field isn't provided anymore. For example for the "Earth Surface Dynamics" journal you will see the publication date (See e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/data/citation/zotero/10.5194%2Fesurf-5-21-2017 which has the publication date provided as: "date":"2017-01-16").

However, the "Geology" journal, published by "geoscienceworld", has no publication date through zotero (See e.g.: https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/data/citation/zotero/10.1130%2Fg38665.1 (only access date is shown)).

Would there be a quick fix such that publication date can be pulled through zotero as well?

Thanks, Albert.

I don't know how to check for this myself, but usually, when something like this happens, it means that the 'broken' sources have rearranged their websites, and that the Zotero translator needs to be updated as a result.

I don't know how to edit the Zotero translators. However, @Czar and @Mvolz do.
