Item types from Pubmed translator

enozkan
Now that Pubmed contains some preprints and that Zotero got a preprint item type, it may make sense to record preprints as such when saved from Pubmed.

I checked a couple of preprints and they contain the line, when fetched using eutils:
<PublicationType UI="D000076942">Preprint</PublicationType>

With regards to information saved as Article, the needed changes may be
Publication -> Repository
Pages -> Pages (under Extra)
ISSN -> ?

    Could you get us a couple of PMIDs for preprints?
  • enozkan
    One from bioRxiv: 36798302
    One from aRxiv: 37064529
    One from Research Square: 37398060

    Thank you.

    When imported to Zotero from nbib these are correctly saved as preprint type but when captured from the browser import icon these are indeed saved as a journal article.

    ah, thanks, that's helpful, I'll see what we do in the nbib; we can likely port that to Pubmed XML

    I wanted to bump this. I seem to be gathering more and more preprints on Pubmed, and having the connector recognize preprints would be great.

    Gentle bump for saving Pubmed preprints as Preprint.

    I don't see in the nbib translator any logic that helps save the preprint properly. As a result, for example, the repository gets dumped into extra as Journal Abbreviation: bioRxiv instead of Repository: bioRxiv. So, I don't think that will be useful. (And the nbib importer also needs updating.)

    Another gentle bump for this, for those of us who prefer Pubmed as their source for all bibliographic data.

    Apologies for the delay. Pushed an update to handle PubMed XML preprints. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update translators manually from the Advanced pane of the Zotero settings.

    Please let me know if the metadata you get now looks right.
