SER stands for serial (though I guess ProCite uses it for manuscript). Zotero doesn't have a way to represent a serial publication in and of its, so I think book is a decent mapping. What is the Workform for these records in ProCite?
Manuscript is the workform in ProCite. A lot of times it refers to an unpublished manuscript of some kind, or in some instances a report or a document published online (like a paper in pdf format). The most common use is for unpublished manuscripts that might have been given to the person for review.
For Manuscripts, it is also important to preserve the availability field, as sometimes manuscripts refer to papers or collections in archives. Or they might just be hard to find, and need that field to help the user locate them, since they were not published in a normal way.
Should I change SER to something else in the RIS-Endnote file?
"As I mentioned previously, there is some functionality missing in Zotero with reports. There is no "Editor" only "Series Editor", which makes the "creator" field in the list view look blank, because series editor is not listed there.
Therefore this isn't so much an error, as something that doesn't fit... but Author Role is not mapping correctly. Presumably because there is no editor, only series editor. I do think that this is something Zotero overall should change though, if possible. What do you think? Otherwise, at worst, the Author role field should be copied to notes in this case to let the user know that these authors are really editors.."
I'm not an expert on reports, but perhaps there's a good reason there is no editor. I would post this in a new thread and someone with better knowledge of how this is handled will hopefully answer you.
I do think that reports will have normal editors fairly frequently. Not all reports are made in series, i.e. a one time archaeological site report for a specific dig.
"Conference Proceedings seems to have some serious problems mapping" "Are you referring here to the same problems as above?"
Yes basically, place of meeting not mapping etc. Thanks for making sure they go in notes. Adam said in the other thread that those changes are "covered in the list of field changes/updates for the next Zotero version." So we can assume this will be available as a feature sooner or later?
"It looks like these kinds of "book long form" entries would be better off being imported as chapters? Should I actually change CHAP to BOOK?
is there anything to help us get around which are actually books vs. which are chapters/articles within books within series?"
I'm going to try and make the translator figure out if book or chapter is more appropriate. Don't hold your breath though. The problem is that I need to make sure this doesn't break anything with regular RIS files that have not been exported from ProCite.
So where did we land on this issue? Should I change the BOOK back to CHAP? Or wait for an update?
Thanks for all of your help.
I am trying to get a semi-clean version together so we can start using it asap. :)
Date of Meeting: if there is no other publication date given for the proceedings, the date of meeting should fill the date field. It should definitely go into comments, as I am looking at another record where it is totally missing.
I do think that reports will have normal editors fairly frequently. Not all reports are made in series, i.e. a one time archaeological site report for a specific dig.
I don't think your post coneys the message I was getting at. I replied to your post in that thread, but what I was suggesting you post about is adding an Editor role to report in addition to Series Editor.
I'm not sure it will solve your problem, however.
Yes basically, place of meeting not mapping etc. Thanks for making sure they go in notes. Adam said in the other thread that those changes are "covered in the list of field changes/updates for the next Zotero version." So we can assume this will be available as a feature sooner or later?
Yes
So where did we land on this issue? Should I change the BOOK back to CHAP? Or wait for an update?
In retrospect, one should use a single workform for a single item type (contrary to ProCite's frequent indications otherwise). But now that the work is done and you have two types of items cited as "Book Long Form", I don't think changing the style is a good idea for you, since you will be mistyping one or the other.
You could change the workform for either chapters or books to a more appropriate type and re-export.
I will be able to fiddle around with the code later today, so perhaps you may want to wait for an update.

From mainly historical and anthropological perspectives it examines the complex relationship between rural and urban Mongol people, settlements and identities, generated over the last century. Few other nations have experienced changes as rapid and radical as the Mongols: from littLesedentary life in 1900 to cosmopolitan city life in the 2000s; from scattered settlements to intense urbanization and demographic concentration; from nomadic pastoralism to Chinese and Soviet plan economics to market liberalism; from Buddhist monastic learning to modern education; and from imperial domination to separate autonomous and independent polities. During the same period Mongols experienced a series of political revolutions: the overthrow of Manchu rule in 1911, the Communist revolution of 1921 in Outer Mongolia, the Communist revolution of 1949 in Inner Mongolia, the Chinese Cultural Revolution of 1966, the Chinese shift to market socialism, the break-up of the Soviet Union and the political shift to democracy and private ownership at the establishment of the Mongolian republic in 1990. Even so, the short intervals between revolutions apparently brought more significant changes than the revolutions themselves. The anti-Buddhist purges of the 1930s and the collectivization drives of the 1950s to 1970s both changed the texture of society, while the shifting international alliances in the same period dramatically changed the political power balance in the region. Above all, living spaces, material circumstances of lifeand social structures have been revolutionized within the span of a few generations. The entire Mongol lands have seen exceptional changes within a single century, demanding creative cultural and political responses as well as new economic strategies on the part of its inhabitants.

Note that this is now a separate translator from the main RIS translator, so make sure to save that file as "RIS-ProCite.js" It will work along-side the original RIS translator and updates will not overwrite it.
That particular file is sort of a custom version for you, which preserves Record ID and Record Number. Those fields would be dropped in the public translator.
So I think I addressed most of the concerns above except for a few:
There's no reliable way to figure out if the record is supposed to be a book or a chapter if it is marked as CHAP. If you can figure out some algorithm let me know. The biggest problem is that sometimes T2 is actually meant as T1 and so on. Basically, you will have to figure out which one is which manually before importing.
AV is not stored in Archive, but it is not dropped now either.
There is no field in Zotero for Series Issue ID as you point out, so this is not handled. Stored in notes.
Some highlights of the improvements:
Fields are not dropped, but are stored in notes instead. Items that have these automatic notes attached are now marked with a tag that informs the user to enter this data manually.
I am noticing there is still a problem in the manuscript records with transferring author role to editor. Is that a quick fix? Author role did go into notes..

yeah, something might have broken the editor mapping, because when I re-imported some files after the new Procite.js above, some books also failed to have author map to editor, when the author role stated editor or editors. It did work with the same data with only the previous RIS file.
Edit: however, it looks like the editor mapping never worked for the "Manuscript" type, so that part may just be missing the necessary coding.
Edit 2: "Report" type also does not map author role: editors into editors on the drop down author tab in Zotero. This happened both pre and post update, so I think it was never there. Thanks!
some books also failed to have author map to editor, when the author role stated editor or editors.
Could you provide an example?
however, it looks like the editor mapping never worked for the "Manuscript" type, so that part may just be missing the necessary coding.
Manuscript doesn't have an editor type. The choices are author, contributor, translator. This will likely be addressed in the new Zotero release.
"Report" type also does not map author role: editors into editors on the drop down author tab in Zotero.
Same here, though with "report" you have an option of series editor as talked about above.
My thought on this is to map editors to contributors in both cases and add a note about the proper title. Possibly set a tag that says there's something missing. How does that sound?

Ah yes sorry... so hard to keep which fields have what straight. Sorry about that.

That would probably work if that will help other people. For now, I just went ahead and fixed the reports manually to try and make that role clear, so you can add or not at your discretion. Luckily we only had about 100 or so of those. They were still dropping series titles completely, like the record below:

1. Herders in the Khanuy valley move their camps 2 to 4 times per year. 1 2. A few families cultivate vegetables on small plots. 1 3. Herders in the valley move camp 2 to 4 times per year, “with maximum movements not exceeding 10 km. 6 4. Russian ethnographer A.D. Simukov identified a mobility pattern he called “Hangai”. Considering the productivity of the region camps did not move far in response to drought. 6 5. Simukov “estimated the diameter of the annual movement cycle to be no more than 7-8 km.” 6 6. “Nomadic pastoralism is politically centrifugal, militating against central and hierarchical power… Nomadic mobility, in consequence, has a dampening effect on hierarchy and centralization and on chiefly coercion and oppression…. Chiefships arise in nomadic tribes in confrontation with powerful external populations (Irons 1979). Thus, acephalous, egalitarian, decentralized, nomadic tribes are more likely to be found in remote regions far from centers of power, population, and trade, and nomadic tribal chiefdoms are more likely to be found in proximity to agricultural settlements, cities, state agencies, and major markets” (2004).” 7 [we need to deal with this perspective within the household model]
One suggestion "Document Type (35):" in ProCite's "Manuscript" workform, should map to the "Type" field in Zotero. It currently only goes to notes.
example:
TY - MANSCPT N1 - Record Number: 2837 A1 - Bogan, Michael A. T1 - Spiro Textile Analysis PY - 1977 N1 - Document Type: Unpublished report AV - On file, Department of Anthropology, National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. N2 - Report on analysis of Spiro textiles in the NMNH collection KW - Spiro KW - Oklahoma KW - technology ER -
"Collection Title" in Procite's "manuscript" workform are still not transferring to notes. This is a really serious problem, as that helps you find the manuscript. It's odd that Zotero doesn't have a field for this under manuscripts. If you could send this to notes, as well as to the abstract or type field that would be good.
A manuscript collection needs the title of the specific part in the collection, like "Excavation Records for 39ST1" as well as a collection title, like "River Basin Survey Papers" below. Are the developers going to be adding collection title to manuscript? I think that type needs to be more robust than it is currently.

The // between names are not being registered as separating the authors. Perhaps because there are no spaces? Because it will only do the first authors "name//nextauthorslastname" and then nothing else because of the comma after the second authors name. So those names after the second authors last name are being lost completely. This is true across all multiple author records I have looked at so far. I am using the new ProCite.js file from above.
here is the examples RIS test:
TY - BOOK N1 - Record ID: 2753 A1 - Bloomer, Kent//Moore, Charles T1 - Body, Memory, and Architecture CY - New Haven PB - Yale University Press PY - 1977 KW - spatial analysis ER -
Also, do you have any good suggestions for how to sort the book long form workform? I am trying to separate those things that should be book chapters, from books. Otherwise they don't get cited/imported correctly. i.e. instead of a title and book title for the chapter and book title sections, it will do the chapter as the main book title and the book title as the series title. (This is if a book long form type is imported as "BOOK" instead of "CHAP". The trouble is I am not sure how to try to weed these out and make them into "CHAP"s without manually going through the 1356 records of that type that I have.)
Upgrade Storage
For Manuscripts, it is also important to preserve the availability field, as sometimes manuscripts refer to papers or collections in archives. Or they might just be hard to find, and need that field to help the user locate them, since they were not published in a normal way.
Should I change SER to something else in the RIS-Endnote file? I tried that but haven't had a response. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/22740/in-report-a-series-editor-not-displayed-in-creator-field-in-list-view/#Item_1
In the meantime, what would be the better stop-gap measure?
I do think that reports will have normal editors fairly frequently. Not all reports are made in series, i.e. a one time archaeological site report for a specific dig. Yes basically, place of meeting not mapping etc. Thanks for making sure they go in notes. Adam said in the other thread that those changes are "covered in the list of field changes/updates for the next Zotero version." So we can assume this will be available as a feature sooner or later? So where did we land on this issue? Should I change the BOOK back to CHAP? Or wait for an update?
Thanks for all of your help.
I am trying to get a semi-clean version together so we can start using it asap. :)
Date of Meeting: if there is no other publication date given for the proceedings, the date of meeting should fill the date field. It should definitely go into comments, as I am looking at another record where it is totally missing.
I'm not sure it will solve your problem, however. Yes In retrospect, one should use a single workform for a single item type (contrary to ProCite's frequent indications otherwise).

Edit: however, it looks like the editor mapping never worked for the "Manuscript" type, so that part may just be missing the necessary coding.
Edit 2: "Report" type also does not map author role: editors into editors on the drop down author tab in Zotero. This happened both pre and post update, so I think it was never there. Thanks!
My thought on this is to map editors to contributors in both cases and add a note about the proper title. Possibly set a tag that says there's something missing. How does that sound?

There were not too many of these either so I fixed them manually.
The workforms I am still working on are:
Book Chapters
Book Long Form
Book Short Form
Manuscripts
Conference Proceedings: Was the "Date of Meeting" and "Date of Publication" added to notes in the update?

Allard 2006
1. Herders in the Khanuy valley move their camps 2 to 4 times per year. 1
2. A few families cultivate vegetables on small plots. 1
3. Herders in the valley move camp 2 to 4 times per year, “with maximum movements not exceeding 10 km. 6
4. Russian ethnographer A.D. Simukov identified a mobility pattern he called “Hangai”. Considering the productivity of the region camps did not move far in response to drought. 6
5. Simukov “estimated the diameter of the annual movement cycle to be no more than 7-8 km.” 6
6. “Nomadic pastoralism is politically centrifugal, militating against central and hierarchical power… Nomadic mobility, in consequence, has a dampening effect on hierarchy and centralization and on chiefly coercion and oppression…. Chiefships arise in nomadic tribes in confrontation with powerful external populations (Irons 1979). Thus, acephalous, egalitarian, decentralized, nomadic tribes are more likely to be found in remote regions far from centers of power, population, and trade, and nomadic tribal chiefdoms are more likely to be found in proximity to agricultural settlements, cities, state agencies, and major markets” (2004).” 7 [we need to deal with this perspective within the household model]

Fancy with the tag! *some fields not mapped* I like it. :)
Thanks very much Aurimas!
I am going to try again with the books now, so I'll likely post again soon...

A manuscript collection needs the title of the specific part in the collection, like "Excavation Records for 39ST1" as well as a collection title, like "River Basin Survey Papers" below. Are the developers going to be adding collection title to manuscript? I think that type needs to be more robust than it is currently.

It seems that workform "Book Short Form" is not importing multiple authors correctly.
See screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19141190/error with multauthors slashes.png
The // between names are not being registered as separating the authors. Perhaps because there are no spaces? Because it will only do the first authors "name//nextauthorslastname" and then nothing else because of the comma after the second authors name. So those names after the second authors last name are being lost completely. This is true across all multiple author records I have looked at so far. I am using the new ProCite.js file from above.
here is the examples RIS test:

Any ideas for shortcuts in ProCite to do this?
Workform = "Book Long Form" AND #4 = EMPTYI think books don't have "Title, Analytic"Workform = "Book Long Form" AND #4 = NOT EMPTYshould return all journal articles.I am still checking, but I think this may have solved the larger part of my problems. :)
