New BMC Translator

[adam3smith]

Current translator (wrapped into Springer Science) fails after site redesign. Should be pretty easy, looks like RIS will work better than EM. https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/55834/generic-doi-translator-for-bmc/#Item_1

The detection currently for BMC journals in Springer Science translator fails. However, if I perform the doWeb directly in Scaffold it results in:

This doesn't look that bad. However:

• multiples are not working
• there are no pages
• abstract is wrong

I will play a little with the detection in Springer Science and look how far we can go here... Let me know if there are any reasons to do now a seperate translator for BMC.

[adam3smith]

I wanted to do a separate translator for two reasons: a) Because of the issues above, RIS seemed like a better choice than EM b) Apart from the metatags, the sites have nothing in common.

In particular because of b, I don't think keeping them in the same translator makes sense. Do you disagree?

[zuphilip]

Okay, no special reasons other than trying to be lazy ;-)

Actually, the RIS in BMC is served by a new (?) Springer API which looks really nice: http://citation-needed.services.springer.com/v2/references/10.1186/s13068-015-0395-8?format=refman&flavour=citation . Is this a general DOI2RIS-API by Springer? That looks cool!

[adam3smith]

I don't know anything about it, but agree it looks very nice & high quality data. So you could maybe go the other way and see if the RIS way works in the current Springer translator.

[zuphilip]

Okay, I have a first version for a separate translator (using the RIS from the API). Need more testing and tweaking...
