iPad: Zotero fails to save references from IEEE explore

kaymes · January 17, 2022

The iPad version of Zotero currently fails to add papers from IEEE explore to its library. They are saved as web-links instead of proper references (e.g. journal papers).

An example page is:
- open https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8525380 in Safari
- click share -> Zotero
- Zotero only offers to save the item as website which means it has limited meta data and the pdf is not downloaded.

Thanks — I can reproduce. There's a line of code used only in the IEEE Xplore translator that's not properly implemented on iOS. We'll fix.

@kaymes: Should be fixed now.

I would love a version for the iPad where IEEE Xplore didn't even work :) It would be so helpful to have the iOS version released. Please save me from "readcube papers"!

Cheers,
Paul.

Same problem here as of Nov. 27th, 2023 with IEEExplore articles, Safari, and VPN.
