Zotero not recognizing citations in RePEC and AgEcon Search

julieannkelly
I co-manage a subject repository, AgEcon Search, http://ageconsearch.umn.edu/, running in DSpace, and Zotero doesn't seem to recognize either a list of references or individual ones.

Our papers are also linked in RePEc, http://repec.org/, which is running on customized software, and the are not recognized there, either.

Although we are not huge (36,000 papers), we have an active group of users from around the world, and about 300,000 downloads per month. We would love to be able to promote the use of Zotero among our users.

What can we do?

    Dear julieannkelly,

    regarding repec.org please note this thread here:

    I suppose you are talking about ideas.repec.org, too?
    On AgEcon Search I don't see an import icon in the Firefox URL bar (a.k.a. awesome bar). So I suppose there does not exist a translator for it. DSpace seems to be supported in general (http://www.zotero.org/translators-status/).

    You may also want to look at the thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7009/dspace-translators-not-longer-valid/ . Since I've never worked much with DSpace, I haven't been following closely, but it sounds like DSpace repositories after a certain version number should be well-supported, but there's an issue with bad interactions between old Zotero translators and new DSpace versions.

    Hopefully some more DSpace-aware users can help you if you post in that thread.
