ArXiv preprints classified as "reports" rather than "preprints"
When I save math papers from arXiv using the connector they get imported into Zotero as "reports" rather than "preprints" Before they got imported as "journal articles" and that was fine. Now, however, there is a new item type: preprint. Based on some searching it seems that this item type is exactly intended for things like arXiv postings. Is this a bug? Where should I report it?
Regardless, though, a report item with "Type: article" in the Extra field is the correct way to save preprints in versions of the connector and client that don't support the preprint type. The citation that Zotero generates should be identical. If you'd like, you can change the item's type to preprint after adding. (We eventually plan to make that conversion automatic.) Report bugs here, as you did.
I found this problem is still not fixed in zotero. I think new "preprint" type is good and "article" is also acceptable. But why change to "report" type in current release? I simply do not understand.
The connector today imports the paper from ADS as a report, I guess ADS did not imported everything from arxiv since this paper went out yesterday.
