Zotero connector no longer saving URLS in Hein Online

avkatz472

Can anyone help troubleshoot? All the basic fields get saved -- name, title, short Bluebook title, journal, pages, date, volume -- but not the URL. SSRN works fine.

Can you post a specific URL?

Thanks. We'll take a look.

Just to clarify -- I discovered out by trial and error that if I right-click on the Zotero connector icon, and then hover over "Save to Zotero" in the dropdown menu, and then click on "Save to Zotero (COinS)", and then wait for a menu with two checkboxes to popup, and then click in the first checkbox only, and then click "OK" --- then the URL and metadata will be properly saved. But going through all these steps is very cumbersome, especially if I am trying to save multiple articles. It used to be the case that I could just click once on the icon (with hovertext "Save to Zotero (HeinOnline)") and it would save properly.

HeinOnline has implemented an update to correct this problem, URLs are now being saved correctly.

Excellent. The problem is fixed now. Thanks!

But I am now encountering a similar problem with APA Psycnet - Zotero Connector cannot save anything except the web screenshot - no metadata. Is the problem with Zotero connector, or APA?

Here is a sample URL.

http://psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2016-59847-001.html

Thanks again.

That's our issue. Not sure how quickly we'll be able to fix this. I don't have access to APA Psycnet through APA and the fulltext pages redirect for me; we've also had no end of trouble with the new Psycnet interface in the first place. I've added this to the issue here: https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues/1676

Thanks for the follow up. In the meantime, I found that I can use Zotero Connector to grab the citation and metadata from ResearchGate.

Or just change the “fulltext” part of the URL to “record”

bwiernik

(ResearchGate doesn’t provide any structured metadata for articles, so it is not a good source for importing to Zotero)

avkatz472

Actually, I was able to import metadata from ResearchGate using Zotero Connector in Chrome. Try it and see.

I also tried substituting the “fulltext” part of the URL to “record” on Psycnet, as you suggested, and got an error message ["Could not locate the requested record"]. Did you actually try this yourself?

IIRC RG works well if you're not logged in...

bwiernik

Sorry, you also have to delete the .html at the end of the URL

avkatz472

Confirming that it also works when deleting the .html. But easier to just use the basic RG URL. Thanks for the alternate suggestion.
