importing from an eprints search
Hi,
Which is the best import format to bring the results of an ePrints search into zotero?
<option value="Text">ASCII Citation</option><option value="BibTeX">BibTeX</option>
<option value="DC">Dublin Core</option><option value="XML">EP3 XML</option>
<option value="EndNote">EndNote</option>
<option value="EAP">Eprints Application Profile</option>
<option value="HTML">HTML Citation</option>
<option value="METS">METS</option><option value="MODS">MODS</option>
<option value="ContextObject">OpenURL ContextObject</option>
<option value="Refer">Refer</option>
<option value="RIS">Reference Manager</option>
from http://preview.tinyurl.com/6z7glj (preview shows the url and gives you a link to click, rather than taking you straight to the page)

Eventually you'll be able to import raw files like this directly (i.e., without saving locally first) via the address bar icon or by highlighting the export format markup on the page and telling Zotero to import it.
And creating a translator for this site, at least for the search results page, would be pretty straightforward. If you do discover differences in the export formats, please post what you find here in case somebody attempts a translator (which would use one of those formats in turn).
bibtex: ok
RIS: ' gets turned into ?
dc(text) : no translator
e3p xml: no translator
endnote:no translator
METS: no translator
MODS: fails with javascript error
refer: drops titles/ ' gets turned into ?
does anyone have any advice apart from 'use bibtex' when getting records out of eprints and into z.
