Journal series omitted in JSTOR import

dunning

JSTOR appears to include a journal series in the T3 field within their RIS files (see http://www.jstor.org/stable/3678685 or http://www.jstor.org/stable/4427142 for examples). Would it be possible to import these into the Series field in Zotero? (See earlier discussion on the best place to put this information.)

@aurimas - do you see any reason not to add this to the RIS translator directly? Specifically, add journalArticle to l. 218: https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/RIS.js#L218

or should it be Series Title? Series is meant to be numeric, no? T3 seems like a title.

adamsmith

I don't know, the three categories have never made sense to me and Series and Series Title both map to collection-title

aurimas

ok. I'll go with your initial suggestion then.

This should be fixed now. Update via Preferences -> General -> Update Now

As JSTOR is using it, T3 should go in the "Series" field. The intended use of "Series Title" and "Series Text" is to describe named sections within an issue, at least as Dan described it a long time ago. The use of the word "series" in both is terribly confusing.

aurimas

You're not trying to say that the current implementation is incorrect, are you?

adamsmith

yup, I figured that out in the meantime (and to make things worse, not even Zotero's use of "series title" is consistent - map shouldn't have a series title field, but a series field instead, for example). Anyway, we implemented this correctly - mapping to series - in the RIS back in March (mostly by luck).

dunning

That's excellent. Thanks for taking care of it!

Thanks adamsmith. It took me a while to figure out what was going on with these fields, so I try to make sure others don't have to spend the time being confused, too.
