Scopus Search Results Bug

alexmaiorino · 2026-09-12T22:39:35+00:00

Scopus search results are correctly detected as multiple items when the page is set to 10 results. The Zotero Connector shows the yellow folder and all 10 records can be imported.

When I change Scopus to display 20 or more results per page, the Zotero Connector no longer detects the Scopus results. The yellow folder disappears and the Connector shows only “Web Page with Snapshot”.

Changing back to 10 results immediately restores the Scopus multiple-items translator.

I'll take a look, thanks for reporting

@alemaiorino -- I actually can't replicate the issue -- when I switch to 20 items the Zotero icon stays grey for a bit and then switches back to the folder as it should. Which browser, which Zotero version?

I'm using Google Chorme and also tryied with firefox. I'm on a MacAir, M2, 2023 15 inches running MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2. Chrome version 152.0.7977.84 and Firefox version 155.0.1. Maybe the problem is that I am accessing Scopus through the Brazilian CAPES institutional access. I try to export my search to RIS or BibTex and the system prepares the files but no file is downloaded. Maybe this is a CAPES issue.

Oh, my Zotero is 9.0.6.

I'd try with the most recent version of Zotero 10.0.x, though probably won't make a difference. Can you paste the URLs you are seeing when you are looking at both 10 and 20 search results

I installed Zotero 10.0.2 and the problem persists. Here ar the images for 10 and 20 results.

With 10 results you can see the yellow folder and with 20 results the grey file.

You can see the URL in the picture.

Weird. Could you please provide a debug ID from the Zotero Chrome (or Firefox) connector that covers:
1. searching with the default (10 item) setting and then
2. switching to the 20 item setting.

Let me know if I did right. Also, just to comment, for the forst time when I switched to 20 results the yellow file was still appearing. the I swithched to 50 and 100 and back to 10.

@AbeJellinek -- can you look at the debug and see if you can figure out what's going on? It seems like translator may just not be retriggering but this behaves like a real page reload..
