    SSRN isn't just for legal academics and lawyers (also econ, business, management, etc.), but a whole lot of us use it. There definitely needs to be a translator for SSRN! Also, creating a snapshot from PDFS at SSRN gives an error when you try to open the snapshot or file - the %PDF thing.

    Thanks!

    Agreed that SSRN would be a valuable addition. For now, it's possible to export a citation in EndNote style and then re-import it. On my machine, Zotero doesn't "catch" the export (I need to save the file and then import it), but it's still faster than entering by hand.

    I've installed Solvent and would be happy to list the XPaths for the various citation fields if that would speed things up. Trying to write the rest is a bit much for me at this stage.

    Agreed. It seems very strange that support for SSRN is not done yet.

    I have an SSRN translator ready at: http://code.google.com/p/zotero-for-lawyers/wiki/SSRN

    A couple of important notes:

    - log into SSRN first
    - it doesn't take automatic snapshots of the PDFs since SSRN's method for downloads involves HTTP 302 responses and other tricks to prevent fraudulent downloads (take a look using Live Headers to see what I mean)

    Sean,

    I've checked this into my google project. I also checked in an early version of a Thomas - Bills/Resolutions translator that isn't ready for primetime yet.

    Regards

    Thanks - how does one use that? :)

    We need to roll it into our code, after which your copy of Zotero should automatically update to use it within 24 hours.

    Thanks, Bill! We'll check it out and ship it out as soon as we can.

    Hi, I dont understand much of the tech talk here but I logged into SSRN but zotero is not able to read it yet. I went to preferences and tried to update as well ... seems to make no difference

    The SSRN translator hasn't been added yet. Please wait a little longer.

    Have y'all contacted SSRN yet about automagically getting PDFs? I submitted a request!

    According to the latest changelog SSRN has been added: http://www.zotero.org/documentation/changelog

    I couldn't get PDFs added automagically in the translator I contributed for various technical reasons that most people don't care about (see above somewhere).

    Maybe someone else will come up with the trick at some point.

    Neither SSRN or HeinOnline seem to be working correctly; I get translator errors when using both. This is quite unfortunate, as these are very valuable resources.

    I just figured it out - I wasn't logged in to SSRN!
