If I am not wrong Zotero fetches metadata from google scholar. If there was a functioning plugin for fetching metadata from google scholar or other site then we could enter all this kind of docs directly into Calibre. As I mentioned before there is actually such a plugin but at least for me it doesn't work. When I click at "Configure selected source" I get errors like these:

I have already installed python-qt4 on my machine. I don't know why the plugin complains. Maybe a developer could look into it.

Calibre uses its own Python installation. This includes Qt5. The plugin is old and has not been updated to Qt5. I've had a look at it and fixed this. I have attached this. It works at least to load and do a search. I have no idea if the results it returns are correct or not.
Edit: I should have looked more. The github site for the plugin says the author moved to Zotero, so hasn't continued with the plugin. I doubt if the version posted works and I have no interest in working on it. But, I'll leave it here in case someone is interested.
