Export Newspaper Article misses section field

[sunew]

Exporting Zotero itemtype "Newspaper Article" results in biblatex 'article' items. Ok.

The export misses the "Section" field from zotero. It could be exported to the biblatex field 'journalsubtitle'.

[retorquere]

That sounds reasonable. Just to make sure, would you happen to have a Zotero TestCase and a BibLaTeX export that shows the desired behavior? If so, I'll add it as a testcase to prevent future regressions.

Sorry but I've never looked at Zotero TestCases - and right now I'm writing my thesis so I guess it is not right now I'll learn something new :)

[retorquere]

Never mind, I'll generate one myself. If you had one, it would make sure it'd cover your specific case.

I'm sorry, I'm finding it hard to replicate your scenario. Exporting a testcase isn't too hard, I think -- just select a reference that has the combination of fields you describe as "Zotero testCase" (it's one of the export formats BBT adds) and then drop it into https://dbinbox.com/allthatisthecase

ah, allright - I'll get to it.

Any reason to prefer journalsubtitle over subtitle or titleaddon? If I read the manual correctly (and I might not -- I'm not really a BibTeX expert), journaltitle refers to the newspaper name itself for a newspaper article, and the newspaper section isn't so much a subtitle to the newspaper title as it is a chapter of sorts. The manual doesn't really specifically say what to do about sections, but chapters aren't among the valid fields for article.

Subtitle is related to the individual article, and the same with titleaddon. That is, related to the item in the periodical, not to the periodical itself. And the section is a subdivision of the periodical, not of the work cited. But I agree, journalsubtitle is not optimal, but I think it is the best choice. Also, for instance with biblatex-chicago, it renders correctly in the bibliography (the second item, the name of the newspaper is Weekendavisen, and the section is called Ideer)

I just uploaded the three files - a testcase, the current export of the item, and the suggested export.

Hey, reading Bijker?

Gotcha, good reasoning. I currently get this:

@article{Boas2014StikordTil,
  author = {Boas, Anders},
  date = {2014-04-07},
  journalsubtitle = {Ideer},
  journaltitle = {Weekendavisen},
  pages = {12},
  title = {Stikord til en hukommelse},
  url = {http://apps.infomedia.dk.ep.fjernadgang.kb.dk/Ms3E/ShowArticle.aspx?outputFormat=Full\&Duid=e4798c41},
  urldate = {2014-09-15}
}

the only diff is in the date (4/7/2014), which is ambigous against locales; you get 2014-07-04, I get 2014-04-07. If the date is registered as 2014-07-04, it ought to be unambiguous. In any case, I think this is what you want, no?

[retorquere]

Tests all pass BTW, so I can release if this is what you need. Don't mind the field order -- on actual export, they're different, I just sort the fields in the tests to get stable test results.

[sunew]

Cool! Thanks, I'll give a try right away. Bijker - yes! I'm very hooked with STS in general. You are also familiar with this field?

[retorquere]

I study Philosophy of Science, technology and Society, which is a hybrid between philosophy of science, philosophy of technology and STS. I lean pretty harshly towards (analytic) PoS myself -- I just didn't know Bijker was known outside the Netherlands (where I live).

The new version is out, so you might have updated silently already. Oh, and thanks for the bug report BTW.

[sunew]

Yes I have upgraded, and it works perfectly. Thanks for the fix.

Super, always glad to hear from actual users.
