Sure thing. Here are two entries I've tried to upload individually. These aren't the only ones, so if you want more test cases I would be happy to supply them.

T1 - Supporting the Induction of Special Educators: Program Descriptions of University-School District Partnerships
AN - prod.academic_MSTAR_201085383
AB - Boyer describes three university-school district partnership programs that support induction of novice or aspiring special educators. The three programs described here emerged after searches of the Education Resources Information Center and the US Department of Education's Office of Special Education Program's Personnel Preparation Grants database, conference presentations, citations in literature related to induction and mentoring, and personal knowledge gained within the work of the National Clearinghouse for Professional in Special Education and the Council for Exceptional Children.

Also, I'm just now trying to use the Chrome extension on the Scopus website and there seems to be a problem with the translator. Just this morning I was using the Chrome extension on WorldCat, EBSCOhost, and JSTOR without difficulty.

I'm not sure if this is at all related, so I'm posting it just in case.

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your quick investigation and testing. Hopefully the error report will shed some light on this.

Best,
-Jared-

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your quick assistance with this.


First, Zotero froze up when I tried to quit it. I opened Activity Monitor and discovered that Zotero was using over five gigabytes (not megabytes) of memory on my machine. I had to force quit Zotero to close it.


I then restarted Zotero. Once it was fully loaded I checked Activity Monitor again and it was only using ~400 MB of memory at this point.

I enabled logging, tried to import a single entry, and received the error message that I wrote out in my original post. I went to submit the results to the Zotero server however realized that I'd enabled logging for the Chrome extension, not the Zotero application.

I restarted Zotero again, enabled logging correctly in the application, and tried to import the single entry. This time the import worked. DebugID: D1715452539

I then tried to import a larger file (375 entries) to see what would happen. I cleared the output and reenabled logging. This attempt was unsuccessful and caused the main Zotero window (not the preferences window) to hang. I was able to submit the logs before force quitting out. DebugID: D1215563558

I restarted Zotero and attempted to import another single entry that had failed previously. This time the import succeeded. DebugID: D953910449


I do not know why the single-entry imports succeeded just now while they'd failed multiple times earlier this afternoon.

I hope that this helps.

Jared: Out of curiosity, does it make a difference if you move the mouse and/or try to do other things during the import? If you don't touch the mouse at all, does this still happen?

This is likely unrelated, but having all these N1 fields isn't great for Zotero import (as you may have noted, they each get a separate note). Where are those RIS entries coming from?

Adam: These RIS entries are direct exports from Proquest. The Chrome extension was giving me translator errors when pulling from Proquest's website, so I used RIS exports to import in the citations. The first 2,500 imported just fine before I started getting these errors.

Dan: I did another full shut down, restart, test Zotero as the only application running this morning. I closed the tag selector in the bottom left per your suggestion. Again, the import hangs and the status bar doesn't move at all.

DebugID: D1014074212

Adam: I did a general search through all of Proquest's databases and received 2,875 results. I don't know where each particular result came from.

cool.
If you're interested, it'd be a good idea to troubleshoot the ProQuest translator issue in a separate thread. The RIS import - while maybe a little faster - will likely be a second best solution, creating a fair amount of clutter and missing some fields.

Hello again,

After uninstalling and reinstalling Zotero last Friday I was able to get RIS imports working for a day, however today RIS imports are no longer working.

I tried anther uninstall/reinstall this morning and this time RIS imports never worked.

I just tried again now. The DebugID is: D1616419939
