The title of our journal contains (&), when exporting the citation, it appears as shown in the screenshot.

Hi @rcgillis , Is there a solution?

Hi @Mohammed,

No - no solution, I’m afraid. I don’t think its advisable to have an ampersand character in your journal title, as many metadata/harvesting utilities may not utilize it correctly and it will sometimes show up with the & character - as this is what many systems do when they cannot process special characters. Is there a reason that you’re not using “and” as opposed to the ampersand symbol as part of your journal title?
