Updating metadata to e-publications once they are printed
I've searched & found many questions to this.... which suggests there is no magic solution - but other must have found ways round it.
How do people cope with when they see a great publication "online first" and add it to their library but then when used later the citation will be out of date. e.g http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26400993
I would have thought it should be relatively trivial to search for references with missing page/volume numbers and then add them in tediously by hand (although I can't actually see how to search for blanks)
Generally the Pubmed ID is already known and available so in theory the whole process could be automated - but it sounds like this isn't allowed for some reason.
I have looked at hacking at zotero-storage-scanner to scan and add an epub tag, but has anyone already done this - or have an alternative solution?

Item Type -- is -- JournalTitle
Page -- does not contain -- %
Turn into a saved search and you can use that instead of an epub tag.
You can also use volume instead. generally planned. It's not "not allowed"--it's just not implemented. There's a non-trivial amount of things both on the code and on the GUI side that need to be done. aurimas mentioned that he is closer to this, but I don't know the current status.
I can imagine creating a GUI for doing this must be very tricky - thanks for all the dev's work.
In the mean time I'll experiment with trying to kludge together a scripting solution and update this thread for anyone else with the same issue.
