Feature request: update preprint #2

Open he-hai opened 10 months ago

he-hai commented 10 months ago

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to have a feature of updating preprint metadata, especially to the journal published one. Many thanks.

When published in a journal, some severs, for example BioRxiv (e.g. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.06.09.495438v1), update with a DOI of the published version. Could it possible to use this for the updating the metadata?

When I manually change the DOI of the entry, I still need to change the Item type from preprint to Journal Article to be able to update.

Reading from Zotero forums, it seems also be interesting to update the versions of the preprint for some research fields.

Thanks.

Hi, it's definitely possible to implement this feature as both biorxiv and arxiv provide api access to their database. It can be a great addon to the code, but unfortunately i currently don't have much time to do so. PRs are welcome! May add myself when not too busy.
