Zotero translator request for elibrary.ru

iuliiasolodovnik
Hello, would it be possible to create a zoetrope translator for the Russian-language web-site with scientific articles https://elibrary.ru/ please? To view the articles one must be registered, but it is a rich database for researches. One minor inconvenience here is that one can't simply save the pdf to zotero as 'save to zotero as a link'. Instead to save the full pdf document available it is only possible to save them to zotero as a copy of a saved file from the computer.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Do you have a URL? I thought we had that fixed.

    For example here: https://elibrary.ru/item.asp?id=15522774. When I press the link to pdf and choose 'save link as zoetrope item' - nothing happens.

    Note that elibrary.ru does import when you click the save to zotero icon on the page you link to -- it just doesn't attach the PDF (I think that might be because some of those are giant).

    It does, thank you. Do you think it would be possible to create a mechanism to attach pdfs in future concerning their big size? It's really not convenient to attach them manually.

    Sebastian - can this be made to work? Yulya is part of our team, and we would definitely be interested

    I don't think I have access (plus, the fact that I don't read Russian makes this harder) so I'd guess the answer to "can" is yes (unless the files are actually super big, but that doesn't seem to be the case), the answer to "can you" is not easily.
