Engineering Village - Inspec
Hi,
I'm using Google Chrome and found that the connector only gives you a snapshot of the web page when searching in Inspec (on the new Engineering Village platform).
Please help :)

This is time-sensitive for my library/campus. Should I be contacting Elsevier too?
The Compendex database is an invaluable resource for identifying engineering literature but either through utter incompetence (I doubt it) or intent, certain records are altered so that it is clear that the records are clearly identifiable as from Compendex.
I don't fully understand how these databases interact or nest with each other, but for me Ei Compendex is coming through Proquest? Some examples where Zotero connector sees the item as webpage but it's a journal article:
https://dialog.proquest.com/professional/docview/1749382113/abstract
https://dialog.proquest.com/professional/docview/1511011838/abstract
https://dialog.proquest.com/professional/docview/1221497243/abstract

I apologize for my too-quick reply above.
What I can always find successful is to tick the desired items and save to selected records. Then I save as EndNote RIS and the records import into Zotero.
@adamsmith Thanks
Search Compendex for this article title:
"Obsolescene of physics literature. Exponential decrease of the density of citations to physical review articles with age"
The beginning page number and author are correct but the journal name, ISSN, ending page number, and publication year are not -- even if the word "obsolescence" is spelled correctly. This Wiley & Sons journal article is credited to a different journal altogether. In this case Compendex doesn't provide a DOI so that the correct publication could be found online.
If the author, Usha Gupta, happened to be among the reviewers of your manuscript I fear for an unfavorable review. Of course you read the article before citing it but did you bother to check that the downloaded citation matches the actual publication? A couple of years ago I reviewed an article on the literature of transportation safety and this mis-cited article was included as a reference to support a statement that had nothing to do with the topic of the real article. In this case I reported the error to both Compendex and to the author but years later Compendex still contains the error.
Another article indexed in Compendex with similar errors is:
"Scatter of library and information science topics among bibliographic databases"
This is further evidence of my problems with OCD.
We are finding that the Compendex translator does not open for multiple selections or for individual articles.
The workaround we are using is to select and download them in BibTeX, then transfer them into the preferred Zotero collection folder.
Thanks
Desmond.
