COins Site Translator
Hello i am a graduate student doing my independent research on citations and my experience about Zotero has being great while working with the metadata around.
But last week i came across a bug on the following library research page:
http://asu.summon.serialssolutions.com/search?s.q=drone+attacks
i am trying to fetch the data from the result page and it is not giving me the proper result data. For e.g. i require the 'Content Type' for all the result page for Drone attacks which it doesn't return, instead it shows [Journal Article] as item type for all the result set. I tried fixing it myself by rewriting translator similar to proquest which i think works properly as the item doesn't fall back to default Item type i.e Journal Article but it still didn't work.

...which could potentially identify the item type. But it isn't valid. The specification enumerates: journal, issue, article, conference, proceeding, preprint, and unknown.COinS is limited in many other ways, so I don't think you'll have much success in adapting it. Arguably better to make a site-specific translator fore serialsolutions & I think this has been a past request & that there might even be a bit of work in this direction.
