Figshare translator

meg.bresnahan
It would be fantastic if there was a translator for the site Figshare, which allows researchers to upload and share connected research files, such as datasets.

http://figshare.com/

I am a librarian, and it would immensely beneficial to my university's researchers. Just a plea to the Zotero community. Thanks!

    That seems quite doable, sure.
    Note that Zotero should already be able to intercept & import the "Export to Ref. Manager" link.

    A translator for Figshare is now up. Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences.

    Let us know how it works.

    Figshare translator does not seem to work. Can you provide any help?

    Thanks!

    works for me -- what isn't working for you? What setup?
  • marind
    Thank you for your answer. You are right, it works ! I was looking on the adress bar for the usual button, but now the access is close to the Zotero icon. Not far, but too far for me when a bit tired ;-)
    Thanks again.

    The figshare translator appears to be broken--i've tested all the links below (the first is the one I'm really interested in) and get an error message for all, running up-to-date zotero in firefox on windows 7.

    Thanks to anyone who can confirm and help fix it.

    A translator fix is now up. Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences. If you're using Standalone, restart Zotero and your browser after updating.

    Any further problems let us know & thanks for reporting
