Can you provide an author/submissions guide for one such journal so we can see exactly what this should look like? Also post some complete references of this sort here as well.
-
If what you have is a creator (author) name, then there is currently no way to provide a short form for author names. If the document title should be shorter, the short title field can help-- but it doesn't look like that's what you have here.
-
The URL field should refer to a canonical representation of the item (specifically, it should be a canonical identifier (URI) that resolves to the article itself). It's actually somewhat hard to determine when a URL is a stable, canonical representa…
-
The DOI issue was not yet fixed, but it is now. We were assuming that the M3 field in the RIS output contained the DOI-- the field is a general use miscellaneous field, and EBSCO apparently uses it for a human-readable article type. This is now fix…
-
This is now in the repository (https://www.zotero.org/trac/changeset/7301). It will go to clients in the next Zotero release or when Dan pushes it. Hopefully this can be pushed, since the current version handles all non-journal-article items incorr…
-
But if this is a title, then you should be able to set the Short Title field.
-
I've changed the term lookup to look at the beginning of the line; the new version is on Github. Testing by people with working EBSCO access is appreciated.
-
I often search for the article title, but I also do make a lot of items manually. If your sources are from the computer era (1980s-present) and particularly if they are from Western Europe or North America, then you should be able to find a database…

"There is a 3.6.12 version of Zotero - I didn't mean for you to install the beta." Firefox, that is.
-
While apparently the original poster didn't need it, I would like to see support for export from the website to various formats-- BibTeX, RIS, etc. The coming Everywhere initiative will provide the necessary tools to do so (specifically, running tra…
-
Checked into the repository. Should hit clients with the next version of Zotero or when Dan pushes it to clients.
-
I remember that being the reason I tried to implement a fallback system. Unfortunately, I don't have test URLs to justify it. I've modified the version on Github as you describe-- let me know if it works for you (noksagt and others). But note that …
-
This needs to be fixed in the translator. If you happen to have programming experience (as many ACM users do...), feel free to edit the translator. You'll find it in the translators directory of the Zotero data directory. Otherwise, this will event…
-
As noksagt explained in the other thread, this is in part because we can't get reliable data for IOP. Between RIS, BibTeX and DOI (CrossRef), we could patch something together, but it is relatively hard to make a translator that uses multiple data s…
-
Please go to http://github.com/ajlyon/zotero-bits/raw/master/Project MUSE.js and save the file to the translators directory of your Zotero data directory (http://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data). It should start working again.
-
No, this isn't difficult or especially low priority. New translator work is done by interested people or by the occasional volunteer. Fixes to completely broken translators are somewhat higher priority, since we try to commit to supporting existing …
-
I would like to see something better than a copy of the translators directory, but updates really have to be automatic. There are simply too many translators to maintain status info manually. A relatively simple approach would be for the Zotero tea…
-
You should definitely switch to 2.0 unless you are about to complete a major project and you can't risk any downtime. The upgrade is generally quite smooth -- just make a backup first. The 1.0 series has not received any bug fixes for more than a y…
-
It would be nice if the page were automatically generated from the translators directory, much like the styles page.
-
The DOI error reported by noksagt is fixed in the Github version. If someone can install it and test the book section issue, we can see about checking in a fix to the repository.
-
Right... I was looking for something like the WilsonWeb problem, and I jumped on the first possible reason. Without working access to EBSCO, it's a little hard to test.
-
The culprit is line 125: item.itemType = "journalArticle"; Can you try again now with that line commented out (available on Github now)?
-
And that's not even something I changed. That's fixed in Github. Can you check again?
-
Actually, EBSCO already contributed code to make it possible to export citations to Zotero. This bug might actually be on Zotero's side -- I'm having trouble accessing EBSCO to test it myself, but you can try out a potential fix. Please go to http:…
-
With all due respect, that's not the only, nor to my mind the best, way to solve this problem. The other is encourage a more robust open source community of web developers that are willing and able to contribute their labor to improving features suc…
-
Bruce and Mark are right to note that the web interface and groups systems are somewhat underwhelming, especially when you consider that the social/collaborative features of Zotero have been a stated development priority for the past development cyc…
-
The translator includes this line: if (!text.match(/TY\s\s-/)) text = text+"\nTY - JOUR\n"; Perhaps EBSCO is leaving more or less space after the TY tag and the type tag is being added regardless of whether it is already specified? …
-
You can take the RSS feed for the collection and run it through something like Yahoo! Pipes to accomplish things like this. If you can run server-side scripts, consider the PHP library for the Zotero API -- search for it and you're sure to find it r…
-
I've updated the translator at the address above. It should now work without any modifications from you-- I opted for a different approach to handling the hyphenated element names (thanks to http://wso2.org/project/mashup/0.2/docs/e4xquickstart.html…
-
Glad it works for you. As you can probably tell, I didn't actually test the code. :) I'll look into adding this to the CrossRef.js that ships with Zotero. Do you know of any other publishers that assign DOIs to items of type report-paper? I'd like …
