Zotero Connector: Import a book from RSC

I have access to the pdf files of this book from the Royal Society of Chemistry:
https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/ebook/978-1-84973-637-4
But when I import, with the Zotero Connector, it imports an "Open Access PDF File":
https://ris.utwente.nl/ws/files/5090332/book.pdf
That file only contains the Table of Contents.
Is it possible to update it so that it imports the book correctly?
  • We can look at importing the chapters with PDFs (the approach we usually take on similar sites), but I don't think there's a PDF for the full book available and I don't think we'd want to auto-import all 16 PDFs individual PDFs if someone imports the book.
    (Not sure if there's a way to flag wrong data from unpaywall @dstillman ? -- that OpenAccess PDF just shouldn't download because that's not what it is).

    Thank you for your reply.
    I have also tested a chapter, but it could not get the PDF file.
    https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/chapter/bk9781849736374-00081/978-1-84973-637-4
    A PDF file icon first appeared, but then it was replaced by a red cross.

    Also, I would still like to import the book for its metadata. It seems that the webpage offers metadata for citation, but it is not captured when using the connector. The missing fields here are: editor, published, series, and the year is picking the "Print publication date" instead of the "Copyright year".
  • Yes, as I say, we can look at importing those properly.

    See 10. here to understand what's going on: https://www.zotero.org/support/troubleshooting_translator_issues
  • Thank you, that would be very helpful.
    And thank you also for the link to understand better the process.
