error report 2031821285 couldn't import from Scopus
Hello, I was trying to import an RIS file from Scopus. I was on the Scopus page for an article. When I captured via the Zotero plugin the article, it worked just as expected. When tried to add the 135 cited references to my library, I had a problem.
In the Scopus interface, I selected all the references, RIS export, and the pop-up came up asking about direct import. I said yes (btw I rarely use this pathway), and there was an error message. Then I tried downloading the RIS file (seemed to work) and importing the file into my Zotero library; that's when I got the error report 2031821285.
I was able to import the downloaded file into EndNote but it seems to only have 80 records when I was expecting 135. I looked at the RIS file itself -- yes, only 80 TY fields. I'll write to Scopus about that and update this thread with their response.
Thanks
Kate

Some more insights:
The same Scopus article page that says there are 135 cited references only *shows* 80 of them.
If I use the Scopus link to see the cited references in search results format, now I can see 131 of them. The set of 131 includes some "secondary documents" but it's hard to tell how many.
I checked the "all" button and tried to import to Zotero using the connector. I got 22 records and then it just kind of stopped.
Then I downloaded a standalone ris file and tried to import that. It imported 22 records into a new group and then an error message came up, report ID 668299457.
I imported the same file into EndNote and it had 131 records.
So, I think that the 80 vs 135 or 131 records is Scopus weirdness. But not being able to import info from these ris files into Zotero, I don't know where that weirdness arises.
If you want either ris file (the one from the first round with 80 records or the one from the second round with 131 records), I could provide them.

in them. If you remove them, the RIS imports.
We can definitely work around this in the Scopus translator -- we can consider also addressing this in RIS itself. Obviously this is ugly RIS, but I think it's sufficiently clear to put an exception for it into the code unless @AbeJellinek disagrees.
