bioRxiv articles downloading as website with no pdf

RobinRohwer

From the bioRxiv website, articles are now downloaded via chrome plugin as a web page instead of as a report or a journal article, and the associated pdf is left out along with key metadata like authors and date.

However if you open the pdf manually, the chrome plugin downloads it and then classifies it as a report, which misguided as it is is what the zotero team wants- https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/336619#Comment_336619


Example (I am on MacOS Mojave, Zotero 5.0.82 (the current release), and chrome):

zotero classifies article as webpage with no pdf:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/821991v2

zotero classifies same article as report with pdf:
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/biorxiv/early/2019/10/29/821991.full.pdf


Thanks as always for the excellent support!

That's not a general issue -- I get https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/821991v2 as a journal article with PDF.
Run through https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues please

You're right- reinstalling the web plugin fixed the problem, thanks!

I have the same issue. It treats biorxiv documents as webpages not articles. I've got the plugin installed in both Brave + Chrome and it does the same in both.

Same request: run through the troubleshooting I link to above. It's working fine for me, so we need to troubleshoot specifics.
