Local RIS import journal marked as Web page (TY – JOUR)

Hi!

I’m not sure if there is something wrong on me or is something broken in Zotero. When trying to import RIS.txt files all the imports are marked as Web Page. Is this wrongly done RIS file?

Also some abstracts are not correctly shown, but if I guess correctly this is more about the file structure and naming.

Here is an example journal from the RIS file:

TI  - Different Approaches for Estimating Ground Strains from Pile Driving Vibrations at a Buried Archeological Site.  
Y1  - 20090801  
N2  - Ground strains were estimated from vibrations measured during pile driving operations at a buried, prehistoric archeological site to monitor potential construction impacts. Subsurface characteristics of the site were investigated using multiple cone penetration test (CPT) soundings and the shear wave velocity profile was measured using the seismic CPT method. Embedded geophones and surface accelerometers were then used to measure ground vibrations during pile driving. 

                     Displacement gradients were estimated from the vibrations using the following three methods: (1) the difference between adjacent displacements divided by sensor spacing; (2) peak particle velocity divided by depth-dependent wave velocity (i.e., at the depth where the sensor was placed); and (3) peak particle velocity divided by frequency-dependent wave velocity from a measured dispersion curve. Methods (1) and (3) agreed well, while method (2) caused errors that 
                     depended on depth of embedment of the sensors and distanc 
N2  - e from pile driving. Errors in (2) were attributed to a mismatch between the depth-dependent wave velocity and the wave velocity on the frequency band that carried the largest velocity pulse through the dispersive soil profile. Ground strains were related to displacement gradients based on theoretical solutions of harmonic body waves and Rayleigh waves in dispersive elastic media. The peak estimated ground strains were smaller than the threshold volumetric shear strain, but a few 
                     centimeters of settlement were nevertheless observed at the site. The spatial extent of the settlement is characterized using attenuation rules fit to the vibration data, and by calibration with a settlement gauge. Ground cracking and vertical offsets that could potentially mask the archaeological history of the site were neither observed nor predicted from the observed vibration amplitudes. Estimated impact on archeological interpretation of artifacts in their 
                     stratigraphic context was likely insignificant ex 
N2  - cept in the immediate region where the piles were driven. This insight will assist in future planning at sites with similar subsurface stratigraphy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

    There are so many problems with this RIS file that it is difficult to know where to start. Did this come from EBSCO?

    1. There can only be one N2 field, that is the abstract field, it looks like your item is being broken into multiple abstracts at strange points.

    2. These items have an extra space added after the item type. You have 
    "TY  - JOUR "
    instead of 
    "TY  - JOUR"
    3. There are also a bunch of strange returns between different items.

    This version of your file imported fine for me.

    Ok, thank you! That means I just need to live with it, not too much harm done. I can manually fix it.

    That ris is generated from Nelli-portaali (National Electronic Library Interface). http://www.nationallibrary.fi/libraries/nelli.html . Build mainly using MetaLib and SFX (I don’t really know what that means). They have many formats, but all are a bit broken in Zotero. [RefWorks, EndNote, EndNoteWeb, ProCite, RIS, xml].
