citing Society of Automotive Engineers technical papers

I've seen several conversations on this forum about help with citing SAE technical papers, like this one asking for a translator:
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/15/4/which-site-translators-would-you-like-to-see/

I'm currently working in the Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine style, using the Report type, and some SAE citations look like this:

Graziosi D, Stein J, Kosmo J, Ross A. Phase VI Advanced EVA Glove Development and Certification for the International Space Station. Warrendale, PA: SAE International; 2001.

and others pulled right from the website look like this

Moiseev N, Stoklitsky A, Kisselev B. Development of and Research into the Ergometric Evaluation Method for Space Suit Glove [Internet]. Warrendale, PA: SAE International; 2000 [cited 2011 Aug 18].Available from: http://papers.sae.org/2000-01-2258

Even though they are both "report" type. It looks like including the URL in the reference data triggers the [cited ####] and "Available from:..." fields, but still does not include the report number - the most important identifier for SAE papers. So my question/request is two-fold:

1) Can the Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine style be trained to ignore URLs in the Report type (or maybe just if the institution says "SAE International"

2) Can the Report number be added for SAE technical papers in this and other styles?

Thanks!
  • Oh, here's a citation example by SAE themselves:

    Korona, F. and Akin, D., "Evaluation of a Hybrid Elastic EVA Glove," SAE Technical Paper 2002-01-2311, 2002, doi:10.4271/2002-01-2311.

    pulled from:
    http://papers.sae.org/2002-01-2311

    The format of the names, quotes, etc. will change be journal, but the rest should be pretty universal. The "Report" type in Zotero doesn't currently have a DOI field, so that's another issue.

    Thanks!
  • I have the same issue. Did you/anyone find a good solution to SAE Technical Papers? I am currently using 'Report' or 'Conference Paper', but neither is a good solution.
  • oh that one is definitely a report. That's also how the SAE import translator handles those.
    We'll get DOIs for reports (and most/all other item types).
  • Adam, I am having trouble understanding your comment. Are you saying the http://papers.sae.org/2002-01-2311 link by dustynrobots is a report and not a paper? Further, are you saying the next Zotero update will have DOIs for reports?
  • 1. For Zotero purposes definitely, yes
    2. Not the next version, no, but Zotero 4.2
