Unable to fetch metadata via DOI?

joshuabenton
I'm trying to use the magic wand to fetch metadata for a journal article:

10.3167/hrrh2009.350105

https://doi.org/10.3167/hrrh2009.350105

https://www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journals/historical-reflections/35/1/hrrh350105.xml

The DOI link works fine, and so does a search on Crossref:

https://search.crossref.org/?from_ui=&q=10.3167/hrrh2009.350105

But Zotero tells me: "Lookup Failed: Zotero could not find a record for the specified identifier. Please verify the identifier and try again."

Any ideas on what might be going wrong?

    Curious.

    That doi fails today for me today but I --think-- I was able to use the magic wand for this article several years ago. I typically import articles from this journal into Zotero using the wand.

    Entering the doi into https://dx.doi.org/ field links to the article.

    Other articles from Historical Reflections/Reflexions Historiques (earlier and later years) can be fetched by DOI:

    10.3167/hrrh2008.340108

    10.3167/hrrh.2010.360201

    10.3167/hrrh.2015.410303

    10.3167/hrrh.2013.390204

    well, "fine" is a matter of definition here.
    "“A Horde of Brigands?” The Great Louisiana Slave Revolt of 1811 Reconsidered " does not actually look fine to me and it's indeed the problem: There are some characters that shouldn't be there in the title. Zotero tries to clean this up, but they're so garbled that the standard javascript that Zotero uses for the purpose throws a fatal error.
    We can probably make the code more robust (CC @AbeJellinek -- looking at lines 453-455 of CrossRef Unixref) but this should also be reported to Berghahn, who appear to be depositing malformed metadata for that article.
