I'll push this, since ScienceDirect wasn't working particularly well to begin with and it's unlikely to get any worse with this change. Please report any and all errors encountered in the thread so we can continue to improve the translator, but it d…

This would be a very easy translator to write. Take a look at the general documentation (http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators), install Scaffold (http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/translators/scaffold), and open up the existing BioMed Centr…

If you specify citation_pdf_url, Zotero will pick it up. There isn't a way to get Zotero to attach arbitrary documents, so I don't think it'll work to have Zotero save a BIB file automatically, unless you write a site translator for the site.
-
Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/translators/raw/master/ScienceDirect.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). For this page in particular, save http://github.…

Since you can clearly put whatever content you want on this site, I recommend you use embedded metadata-- the Google/HighWire vocabulary is a good start, and it will help Google Scholar index your pages as well. You've done some of this already-- ju…

First, let's try to work out what is and isn't working. The current solution does require some manual work, but any approach will require some sort of tweaking, since almost none of the formats Zotero imports from have any support for this. This sh…
-
I'll look into it.
-
Is typing completely not an option for you? I know it's not pretty, but it does work.
-
I see the biggest obstacle here being storage and propagation of the metadata. A change like this has to happen in about 6 places: the note UI in Zotero, the local sqlite database, the sync protocol, the zotero.org library view, and the server API. …
-
Oops. :) Do what adamsmith says.
-
Don't hit "Stop" when the unresponsive script warning comes up. If you do, Zotero will not work at all. The warning shouldn't come up on subsequent startups, if you let it run the first time. If it does persist, open a new thread and we'll look into…
-
Zotero has not provided such datasets in the past, mainly because it has strict data confidentiality policies. You may be able to do something similar by scraping user pages to get a list of users with public libraries and using the server API to ge…
-
For some item types, you can use COinS, but that doesn't support the artwork type, which is why I directed you to the unAPI approach, which is the most flexible at present. If you are using a content management system on the server, it should be po…
-
I'll try to work on detection. Automatic display of common error strings would be very useful, as well as some general idea of how many errors we're talking about-- for something like ScienceDirect, are we talking about 10 errors? 100? 1000? Also, …
-
No, the RDF type should be http://vocab.org/biblio/schema#term-Illustration, but that can't be expressed using the basic meta tag approach. I recommend using RDF or BibTeX with unAPI; that means you'd need to create the metadata file, put it on the …

Updated HighWire is now up and will be out to clients within 24 hours. Update manually from the Zotero preferences to get it now.
-
I'm not comfortable putting logic like this into the RIS translator, since I feel like the imports should be faithful. We can add it to site translators when we know that the site has this problem.
-
Matbugat.ru and Bezneng Gajit (incidentally, both Tatar): if (item.creators[i].lastName == item.creators[i].lastName.toUpperCase()) { item.creators[i].lastName = Zotero.Utilities.capitalizeTitle( item.creators[i].lastName.toLowe…
-
I thought this has even been changed for Zotero 3.0, but maybe not. I certainly agree that importing from the clipboard would be more useful if it didn't create a new collection.
-
Most major article databases support Zotero (including many subscription services and Google Scholar). What sites are you trying to save from?
-
I think that translation is great, but there's no reason to exclude the possibility of French original content on the docs, especially for French-specific questions, but even in general. If it's something people want to have in English, it can be tr…
-
It does phone home, but I'm afraid those reports are going into a black hole for now; I've noticed the requests in various logs, but I've never been notified of a failing translator by the Zotero team. It'd be great if the translator list / status p…
-
Yes, there are unresolved issues that make multiple item saves fail, so this is limited to one item per save at present. Sorry about that.
-
A post on Code4Lib informs me that an RDF representation can be requested by merely appending .rdf to the item URLs: http://catalogue.library.manchester.ac.uk/items/359257.rdf That makes writing a translator pretty simple-- we'll see what can be do…

Post it to https://gist.github.com/ and put the link here.

adamsmith has identified the real cause and added books to the existing PsycNET translator. I just pushed it out, so you should be able to update translators from the Zotero preferences to get the new, working version immediately.
-
If Psycnet adds the citation_journal_title tag to the pages, Zotero (and Google Scholar) will recognize them properly. As it is, they have only partial data in the page headers and Zotero doesn't recognize the page. A translator would be possible h…
-
Precisely. Fixed now-- should be going out almost immediately.
-
adamsmith: The data was in the CrossRef XML, just in a slightly different place.
-
Fixed. Click "Update translators" from the Zotero preferences to get the new version of the translator. Thanks for reporting this.
