Have you checked out Archivd? Personally, I've found it's metadata extraction to be more useful for my research than Zotero's.

Very useful, thanks! I searched everywhere in the GoogleNotes pages to find the notebook download link… such a basic item… but couldn’t find it anywhere. Eventually I found it in your blog… from a Google search(!)… ironic isn’t it. When will programmers stop missing the obvious???

Comment on QUT Harvard Brief style file for EndNote is up by libraryfit

Hello there, thanks for your feedback, I’ve forwarded this onto those who’ve created the style but it’s not quite enough to go on. You should be able to automatically cite. The style format will be influenced by what is fed in but I would recommend you get in touch with your liaison librarian to clarify your issues. They might be able to help & if there are faults, better enable them to be fixed with more details.

Comment on Publisher Version/PDF Use In Institutional Repositories such as our very own QUTePrints by Stevan Harnad

TOO MUCH ADO ABOUT PDF

Most OA self-archiving growth will be prospective, rather than retrospective, because it is the current and forward-going research articles that are urgently needed; the legacy corpus can and will follow thereafter.

Hence, insofar as the current and forward-going articles are concerned, the default option should be the author’s final, peer-reviewed, revised, accepted draft (the postrprint), not necessarily or even preferentially the publisher’s PDF.

The author’s postprint is the draft with the fewest publisher constraints (and any publisher endorsement to make the PDF OA automatically covers the postprint too).

And, as Alma Swan has pointed out, the PDF is the least useful for data-mining.

And, as can never be pointed out often enough, the purpose of OA self-archiving is enhanced access, usage and impact, *not* the digital preservation of the publisher’s PDF!

(For legacy deposits by authors who no longer have a digital draft of older articles, formatting the PDF, or scanning/OCR and reformatting, are obvious options.)
