Wiley InterScience

Wiley just merged with Blackwell Synergy, the latter from now on unavailable online. Not sure if Wiley have changed their interface because of this merge, but I've had troubles importing from them for quite a while,

1) On an article's "Abstract"-page, Zotero does not take a snapshot of the webpage, and does not download the associated PDF.
2) On an article's "PDF"-page, Wiley embeds the PDF inside a HTML-page and Zotero cannot grab it.

Wiley is a huge database - even more so after the merge with Blackwell - why the constant workaround becomes pretty time consuming and tiresome. The problem is old for me so it's not a result of the merge.

PS Just info on the workaround I use:
1) Use Wiley's "Download citation" link (Endnote-format) to create the post in Zotero.
2) Open article's PDF-page and check its source code. Look for a frame src-tag with a value similar to this "http://download.interscience.wiley.com [...]/cgi-bin/fulltext?ID=14147&PLACEBO=IE.pdf&mode=pdf"
3) Copy the above URL and paste it into the browser; this will open the PDF 'clean' without html-embedding.
4) Use Zotero's "Attach/Take snapshot of current webpage"-function to download the PDF to the citaton in Zotero.
  • I can't get Zotero to scrap the pages of Interscience as well (error report 768407614).
