zotero and Newspapers.com
Is there any reason Zotero would not be properly importing publication info, etc. for articles found in newspapers.com? I am only able to download metadata for each article as a webpage. The URL it grabs does take me directly to what I was looking at when I click the "add" button, so that's better than nothing - but all the publication info and date are empty, so it's useless for citations. I'm running latest versions of the standalone and browser extension, and updated translators....any suggestions?
https://www.newspapers.com/clip/
. I'm not sure if your URL is for a different part of the site that's not currently supported or if the site simply changed.Since this undoubtedly how a lot of university-affiliated users will access Newspapers.com, it would be nice if the translator could be updated!
/clip
URLs? Because zotero/translator#1666 suggests that/image
URLs may not be ideal for citing anyway. If you can still get/clip
URLs onnewscomwc.newspapers.com
, supporting them may be as simple as updating the translator's URL matching, which is currently restricted to thewww
subdomain./clip
URLs anyway then a target change wouldn't be sufficient, though other "World Collection" subscribers could potentially still benefit.)Out of curiosity: do you see clippings that have been created via personal accounts? I've created one for the "Butler County Home Crowded" item in your sample link. Do you get a clickable blue box around that item when you mouse over it now?
This remains a problem for me, and for my student researchers.
Yes, if the translator were at least able to recognize it as a newspaper article and pull the other metadata, filling in the article title would be pretty simple.
To answer your other question, I can see clippings created by personal accounts, but even when I go to the clipping page, Zotero still "sees" it as a webpage, not a newspaper article.
