Possible import error for reports

SusanBraxton · March 24, 2016

When importing an RIS record (exported from RefWorks) with Type = Report, Zotero appears to be putting the ISSN (RIS tag SN) into the Report Number field.
Zotero does not recognize RIS VL or IS when Type=Report.

A RefWorks BibTex export will import into Zotero with the report number; however, RefWorks does not export the Report Series in BibTex.

Is there a way to get both the report series name and the report number into Zotero from Refworks?

We did this on purpose in RIS https://github.com/aurimasv/translators/wiki/RIS-Tag-Map and I assume it reflects what Endnote does.

But we could and should fix this for RefWorks Tagged format, which should solve this for you, correct?

Thanks for the map. I have been trying to make sense of this in prep for migrating many thousands of records, and the map answers a lot of questions.

Is it actually possible to import RefWorks tagged format into Zotero? If so, then yes, "fixing" the report number import for RW tags would help me out.
