Upgrade StorageCapturing Place details on Journal Articles?
Dear Zotero Support,
Firstly I apologise if this is a dumb or obvious question. I am new to Zotero and trying to navigate my way around the software. I am working as part of a group of 8 post-graduate I.T. students and we have been tasked with using Zotero to build up an extensive library so that we can analyse and compare the research data set (approx 4000 records or so)
One angle we were very keen to explore was to categorise the research by continent to see if certain trends in the research are mainly U.S. or European led. Most of the research papers contain the name of the university and the country. None of this information however is being imported when we save to Zotero.
One such example is “Thin slices of online profile attributes”
http://www.aaai.org/Papers/ICWSM/2008/ICWSM08-023.pdf
The document clearly outlines the University of Washington & Microsoft Research Department of Psychology, 351525, Seattle, WA, 98195. The fact that this research is US based is of keen interest to us.
When I import this record Place does not feature as a data field in the schema ( as seems to be the case with all Journal Articles). Is this something we can configure/fine tune? Am I missing something glaringly obvious?
Again apologies we are quite new to this,
Thank you,
Claire

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
But it sounds like you want to maintain author affiliation information -- Zotero does't have a way to store that data, although you could modify the translator to jam that info into the author fields using some encoding scheme. Then you'll run into the problem that many of the databases' output formats simply don't include author affiliations -- BibTeX can, but doesn't always. I'm not sure about RIS. CrossRef XML (from the DOI resolver) can include it as well.
This can be done, but you will have to make some non-trivial changes to the Zotero translators to make it work.
