theses and dissertations in dspace

fgnievinski opened this issue · 4 comments

many theses and dissertations are hosted in institutional repositories running dspace, for example:

https://repositorio.unesp.br/handle/11449/86528

unfortunately, it's cited as a website, missing important information about the publisher (university).

related issue: some dspaces result in an unknown error in citer, for example:

the part above is fixed:

https://citer.toolforge.org/citer.fcgi?input_type=url-doi-isbn&user_input=https%3A%2F%2Flume.ufrgs.br%2Fhandle%2F10183%2F29131&dateformat=%25B+%25-d%2C+%25Y

a new subproblem is the date. for example, here it should be 2012, but it's reported as 2013:

https://lume.ufrgs.br/handle/10183/67061

here's the relevant metadata:

<meta name="DCTERMS.dateAccepted" content="2013-02-27T01:39:58Z" xml:lang="pt_BR" scheme="DCTERMS.W3CDTF" />
<meta name="DCTERMS.issued" content="2012" xml:lang="pt_BR" scheme="DCTERMS.W3CDTF" />

it seems date issued should be used instead of date accepted.

This issue is mostly fixed. publisher and date are now collected from the respective meta tags. However, the result is still a cite web template. Unfortunately I dont think there is any easy way to fix the citation type here as there are no meta tags to infer a better citation type.
