What feature do you suggest?

Hello,

I have an issue with the plungin (thank you so much though) : When I add a link and try to generate a reference (APA 7th), it doesn't generate what I expect. For example, if I ask it to create a reference for "https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cresp.2023.100131", it gives me this :

Hodson, G., & Dhont, K. (2023, January 1). An integrated psychology of (animalistic) dehumanization requires a focus on human-animal relations. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cresp.2023.100131

While I was expecting this :

Hodson, G., & Dhont, K. (2023). An integrated psychology of (animalistic) dehumanization requires a focus on human-animal relations. Current Research In Ecological And Social Psychology, 5, 100-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cresp.2023.100131

I see two problems here :

The format for APA 7th is : Name, Initial. (year). Title. Journal, volume(tome), pages. link example : Andreff, W. (2000). The evolving European model of professional sports finance. Journal Of Sports Economics, 1(3), 257‑276. https://doi.org/10.1177/152700250000100304

Thank you in advance

Hi, thanks for the submitting the issue!

This is likely because of the outdated Zotero server as explained in the readme. I've been really busy with school at the moment so I haven't been able to make a start on updating it.

However, I'd recommend using Zbib if you're not already. It uses the updated version. Sadly, I can't recommend this plugin for anything past high school because it simply isn't accurate enough in it's current state.

I might update the readme to reflect this later. I appreciate you letting me know though!
