M B

Hi,

How to get PMID as Zotero (at least 4.0.23) itseft do not have it?

I try to write in zotero/locate/engines.json this code, but it does not work

Maybe somehow I can include

"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/utils/idconv/v1.0/?ids={z:DOI}&format=json&versions=no"

to use Zotero DOI field to convert to PMID?

Not currently possible

But maybe there some workaround?

I see, that PMID is stored in Zotoro "extra" field. So I could use

"_urlTemplate": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/{z:extra}",

but how to strip/replace/remove "PMID: " string in the begining of {z:extra} value inside json script? How to strip/replace/remove "PMCID: [0-9]*" at the end?
