Grab Abstracts and Better Handle Author Names for Berkeley Electronic Press Journals

[tjowens]

1. Author middle initial is being scraped as author first name leaving the last and first names in the last name field.

2. Zotero is not grabbing Abstracts.

For 1, use the following lines to extract the author names:

for each (var author in authors) {
  item.creators.push({lastName: author.split(", ")[0], firstName: author.split(", ")[1], creatorType: "author"});
}

For 2, use the following lines to extract the abstract:

//abstract
var abstract = newDoc.evaluate('//div[@id="article"]/div[@id="alpha"]', newDoc, nsResolver, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null).iterateNext().textContent;
abstract = abstract.replace(/[\s]*Abstract[\s]*/,"");
item.abstract = abstract.replace(/[\s]*Recommended Citation[^]*/,"");
