(In [1120]) closes #488, Proquest translator broken
references #502, Special handling for automatic tags (support is now enabled, but not tag type is not maintained during RDF export)
references #517, ScienceDirect translator fails (I fixed the issue I had translating this page, but I think the reported error may be different)

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

(In [1122]) references #407, error in EBSCOhost translator. while the issue has been fixed on our end, at the moment, EBSCO's export appears to be broken, returning an empty file instead of RIS output. there's a relatively easy workaround if they don't get it working in a day or two.
closes #517, ScienceDirect translator fails

Michael, this is a very old bug. Can you take a look at it?

Also, if there's any way to make ScienceDirect work when not logged in, that'd be great.
