Fix pep-web captures?

shivohum

So capturing a reference on Pep-web.org fails to capture the author's first and last name, the journal name, or any of the other pertinent reference information except the article's title.

Is there a chance this could be fixed?

Pep-web requires a subscription for full text access, but excerpts of every article -- including all the reference information -- are freely accessible.

I guess modifying the pep-web translator (or creating a new one) would do the trick...

see:

open zotero -> Preferences->Advanced-> Show Data Directory

In the data directory, find the "translators" folder, inside it find "PEP Web.js". You can modify it to your taste.

If I did figure it out and make it work properly, how would I share the revised js file with the community?

It's all explained there.
