Problem with book chapters and DOIs.
Hello,
There seems to be an issue when using the magic wand to lookup a book chapter's DOI, at least from Springer. For example, when trying to lookup DOI 10.1007/11547662_24 (which is a book chapter), the magic wand returns the corresponding book (DOI 10.1007/11547662).
Is it a problem due to Zotero, or to the proxy it uses? Is it fixable on my side?
Cheers,
François

A quick up to say that this problem still exists in beta 5.
Is it due to the way Springer generates its book chapter DOIs?

By way of example, Zotero considers these DOIs equivalent:
10.1007/3-540-47979-1 (book)
10.1007/3-540-47979-1_7 (article in book)
These books are listed as type "other"; the CrossRef translator only creates Book Section items for books of type "edited_book".
The issue arises, I think, because different publishers model edited collections differently in the metadata they send to CrossRef.
