I'm now not getting anything from JSTOR at all. I access via an institutional login, so the URL is just jstor. I get the "Saving to [My library]" box in the lower right, but it never goes through to grab the article, whether I do it from the ar…

My point about the dc data was that it was there. I don't know what the permanent problem is with JSTOR, but I was thinking that the dc data provided one way to get something off the page. It's interesting that the issue page does provide the i…

I see the same thing as @ftr, though I do have access via ezproxy. I'm still not getting anything in Zotero. I too can get articles via the whole issue as @mysheepb can. I've also just noticed that when I use the DOI for some articles in JSTOR, the…

Just thought it worth posting, given recent discussion and the way the conversion is trending for Zutilo. Zotero has no @proceedings, correct?
-
In the Zutilo discussion of creating book sections from books https://github.com/willsALMANJ/Zutilo/issues/27#issuecomment-67166649 this page was cited: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/123252/how-to-manage-conference-proceeding…

I'd still argue this should be in Zotero and not a plug-in. Basic functionality for me.
-
I think we have very different definitions of overcrowded. :-) I don't find Zotero's menus at all crowded. My + button has 8 items total, with 3 separators. I don't think that's a lot for a menu. Ditto the contextual menu. Right now in Saf…
-
For the GUI, I'd suggest something under the + (Add new item) button. The contextual menu is also a good place, given that "duplicate" is in there already. Zotero's got way too little in its main menus, which I assume is part of its legacy as a…
-
+1 on this. I like that the book editors (almost(?) always the case when you've got separate authors for the chapters/sections) remain as they are. I'm not clear on why this is difficult. Aren't these the steps: 1. Duplicate entry. …
-
(Thanks for the upgrade tip. I had just updated, but I guess they're incremental?) Yeah, I see that. It's just frustrating that Zotero fails to find it when lots of sites do.
-
Excellent. Thanks!
-
I'll give that a shot, but it doesn't change the request. Having to do this kind of thing is fairly non-trivial. I think most users could use a new menu for this. In truth the Zotero menus are pretty sparse.
-
Gotcha. I suspect these are not Mac-only, but will happily be corrected.
-
Perfect. Thanks. Most of my suggestions have to do with the interface (on a Mac). I suspect that many of them have to do with the dev environment and aren't fixable, but I'll post some anyway.

WorldCat clearly exports books that are proceedings as CONF. For example, the link adamsmith cited above. WorldCat, as I said at the start, is not a great RIS exporter, so I wouldn't want to put much faith in that. Again, I think the RIS standa…
-
I'd say yes, but that's also often the kind of thing that ends up in a long title, like the one you cited above. See, for example, this guide: http://libguides.reynolds.edu/content.php?pid=143373&sid=1220383
-
Yes, I think they are cited as a whole, but most often pieces are cited. Isn't that typical for collections of short works that appear as books? And no, I don't think they're different from regular book citations, as long as the book in question has…
-
Nolo contendere. :-) I think we're beginning to spend time over a inadequately explained standard no one here is responsible for. I appreciate the attention and the change to the translator.
-
In my field (Classics) it is very common to find conference proceedings published as books. I don't mind turning WorldCat's CONF into BOOK (that's what I've done in Zotero), but the reality is that proceedings have fields that books don't, like…
-
I understand your logic, but I think this is more a gap in the RIS spec, than that CONF is intended for single papers. For example, CONF has fields like "Number of volumes", "Edition", and "ISBN" that would seem to belong to a book-like thing, …
-
I'm suggesting that Zotero interpret the RIS fields according to the spec (which I think I'm reading correctly). There CONF = Conference Proceedings and CPAPER = Conference Paper. So having Zotero do CONF = Conference Paper is wrong (again, if …
-
My own preference would be that Zotero follow the spec and the other sites be encouraged to as well. WorldCat's RIS files are just a mess (as is noted elsewhere in these fora), and it's nice that Zotero's scraper does a better job.
-
(Figured I'd return to this one) So how does one push for a particular site translator, in this case IHE...obviously. It's one I use a lot.
-
I'm all for options. Just a little prefs checkbox would make me happy. :-)
-
Hmmm, yes, I hadn't noticed that. So the request is, I guess, that the label set automatically to the same thing it becomes upon executing the renaming option, or at least that there's an option to do that. (Seems odd to me that this isn't done auto…
-
Yes, but it stayed tripped up. :-)
-
Yes, but it just worked now after re-starting Zotero. How 'bout that. I wonder if I somehow goofed it up because I tried it first with the whole URL instead of just this part.
-
I actually have my Zotero files in my main Documents path, so they are indexed already and show up in Spotlight searches. Can't you just do a mdimport /path-to-your-files/Zotero\ data/ ? This will get the files, but not the zoter…
-
Have to say that I agree about this import issue. Why not a pref for "Import RIS into new collection"? For me it's often easier just to export to RIS and then drag and top that file onto Zotero standalone. If it weren't for the new collection, …
-
I did mean CSL syntax, yes. 3. I meant that there are no commas between, for example, "Keay" and "S. Moser" and see (b) below. A few more things, now that I've cleaned up my Zotero entries: a) A legitimate book entry with an editor, m…
