Item type: Standards (ISO, ASTM etc)

slindber · March 10, 2021

Is it possible to include an "item type" for standards and policies (like those produced by the International Standard Organization - ISO)?
It would be great to add the standard designation or policy code. The closest "item type" Zotero provides for this are "bills" which are not adequate for the citation of policies and standards.

If anyone has figured their way around this please share your tips!
Thank you!

Standards are planned, but I'd recommend Reports as the closest item type at this time.

that's what I thought, thanks for the update!

Asides from the designation code it would be helpful to also add Jurisdiction Committee or Technical Committee

Is there somewhere public where we can follow the status of where it is in the planning process?

it's likely pretty close -- the proposal is finished so it's just an implementation issue, but whether that's another couple of weeks or some more months depends on other dev priorities.

We've just released Zotero 6.0.24, which adds a Standard item type.

Some translators and citation styles may not yet support the new type, so let us know if something doesn't work right.

When pulling the standard via magic tool (identifier) with the ASTM DOI adress of a given standard method, it pulls it as a report, and not as a standard.

Not a big problem, just worth noticing. thx for the work, Zotero is just magic, I love this thing.

Would you please have a sample DOI?
