scopus hasn't worked forever - if it did work last month that was probably a fluke, maybe picking up a doi on the page or so.

that's a shame, their citation finder is pretty sweet. You find a paper and it shows everyone who has ever cited it...

web of science can do that also, but it often misses a few articles.

nice, thanks. I'll email Scopus and complain, I mean, ask nicely. Let's be honest, Zotero is kind of a big deal. :-)

Here is the code from the current translator. Anything look amiss?

I know, but I was just giving the topic a bump, and someone else might be motivated by the sight of the code to delve into it. I can arrange access if you have the time.

Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/Scopus.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data).

It should start working again. If this works for you, please post here so that I can submit this change to be pushed to all users.

It may still be necessary to do some more post-processing to account for problems with the RIS export from Scopus-- let me know of any consistent data issues you encounter.

This version also uses something of a crude hack to work with proxies, since it constructs its URLs in a way that Zotero's proxy system apparently doesn't catch. If you run into any problems accessing Scopus through a proxy, let me know. EZProxy should work-- others might not.

Scopus does not seem to be working again.

I filed an error report. ID = 255191552

text must be a string in Zotero.Item.setNote() (was undefined)

Yes, that works. Thank you very much!

Many thanks for the job on the Scopus translator. It is really useful for Scopus users, even if we seen to be few !

I tested it yesterday and today with several references and I noticed that 2 importants fields are imported : DOI and URL.
Do you think it could be improve soon ?

Cheers
Sophie

I don't have Scopus access here, but it seems that the DOI isn't being included in the RIS output. Try exporting a reference for an item with DOI in RIS, and post the record here-- I'll see why Zotero isn't getting it.

When you export from Scopus, you need to choose :
- the format : text, csv, RIS, Bibtex, Refworks
- the output : citations only, abstract, abstract with references, complete format, specified fields to be exported.

DOI is available only in "complete format" and "specified fields to be exported" output.
URL is available in all outputs.

AB - This paper assesses the increase in demand and supply for forest biomass for heating in Norway in 2020. By then there is a political aim to double the national production of bioenergy from the level in 2008. The competitiveness of woody biomass in central and district heating is analyzed in a model selecting the least-cost heating technology and scale in municipalities given a set of constraints and under different fuels price scenarios. The supply of forest biomass from roundwood is estimated based on data of forest inventories combined with elasticities regarding price and standing volumes. The supply of biomass from harvesting residues is estimated in an engineering approach based on data from the national forest inventories and roundwood harvest. The results show how the production of bioenergy is affected by changes in energy prices and support schemes for bioenergy. One conclusion from the analyses is that the government target of 14. TWh more bioenergy by 2020 is not likely to be met by current technologies and policy incentives. The contribution of the analysis is the detailed presentation of the heat market potentials and technology choices combined with supply functions for both roundwood and harvesting residues. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

If it is useful for you to have an access to Scopus, I can create a temporary account.

Scopus is now working, thanks to finally getting hold of someone at Elsevier (via a librarian of a library using Scopus). DOIs should work, too

The translator fix is now up. Your version of Zotero will automatically update within 24hs, or you can update manually using the "Update Now" button in the "General" tab of the Zotero preferences.

Any problems let us know.
