wrong item type in browser connector

mijnvardas

Hi, the Zotero connector in Firefox does not correctly recognize the item type of this repository:
https://fount.aucegypt.edu/etds/99/
the repository is only for theses/dissertations, but the items are recognized by zotero as journal articles.

It also does not fetch the full pdf even though it exists

If you right-click on the Save to Zotero icon and select Save to Zotero --> Save to Zotero (Embedded Metadata) you get both the PDF and the right item type.

(The explanation of what goes wrong exactly is a bit complicated -- briefly, the repository provides another type of metadata that's sometimes better and sometimes worse and which Zotero prioritizes in the absence of other signals)

Thanks! It worked well!

@adamsmith, sorry one more website

https://merip.org/2022/11/national-football-masculinities-in-egypt/

It is saved by Zotero as a webpage but it is a journal article.

That's just not a site that's supported in any way.
