automatic link to pubmed
Until now, when doubleclicking the reference, I came automaticly to pubmed website. Now I'm automaticly forwarded to the complete reference website if its free available. Is it also possible to disable this?
To clarify my question:
Go to pubmed, search for the folowing title of Smartt and download citation:
β-catenin negatively regulates expression of the prostaglandin transporter PGT in the normal intestinal epithelium and colorectal tumour cells: a role in the chemopreventive efficacy of aspirin?
Usually when doubleclicking on a title in zotero you were linked to the abstract in pubmed. This was happen everytime until 1st october. My next citation download was on 8th october, and from this day on I'm linked to original journal page (in this case = BJC), and when no open source is available, nothings gonna happen when doubleclicking on the title.
What adamsmith said in the other thread: You have to double-click on the child item ("PubMed Link") to open the abstract in pubmed.
This should happen for closed or open access publications as long as there is a DOI associated with them. IMO, if there is no DOI, Zotero should redirect to the catalog entry (PubMed).
@ubauer, from your point of view, are you only concerned about "closed source" articles not opening a pubmed page, or do you have a reason to want pubmed page instead of the publisher's page opening for all articles? In my opinion publisher's webpage is preferred. I understand that PubMed offers certain features like "related articles" that are desirable, which is why the URL to the PubMed page is still attached to the citation.
Now all new entries have this "+" but without having the pdf.... This is not helpful in our case.
Thats why we disabled this automatic link now. But e.g. for easier reading of the abstract we used to go back to pubmed. This doesn't work now after disabling of the link.
If so, you can also edit the translator to store that same URL in
newItem.url
Is this behavior intentional or just an oversight? IMO it doesn't make sense that disabling file attachments should disable link attachments.
It's also worth noting that either of these approaches would interfere with the OP's solution for determining whether a given reference has full text. I suspect the OP is not the only person to do this, although a tag would be a more appropriate, if more tedious solution.
Before you copy old over new disable automatic updates of site translators. I think your problems are a good example why it is seldom a good idea to change critical behavior of software without giving a option to keep old behavior.
Many people use Zotero, and I believe there have now been a total of two reports about this, so you might consider the possibility that this isn't as huge a deal to most people as it is to you.
As indicated in this and the other threads, we're happy to look for ways to improve access to catalog URLs, but this change was entirely consistent with Zotero's standard metadata practices.
We could add a general "retrieved from" link to all records (or only where it's not the same as the stored url). This would be useful in a couple cases.
1. As Dan says, downloading translators from anywhere but Zotero is a security risk. Zotero uses a version control system for all of its code, so you can go back to any translator at any point in time. E.g. you can download the last version of the Pubmed translator before the URL change here:
https://raw.github.com/zotero/translators/cb4769e82933875e4e387f5e82d5f4e02c43251d/NCBI%20PubMed.js
2. The right way to keep using the old translator is to download it into the Translator directory using a different filename, then change the translator ID and lower the priority to 99. Zotero will then use that translator on Pubmed and will never update or change it otherwise, so you can leave that option enabled.
