[EP-tech] BibTex and RIS export - property of "unpublished" changes "item type" to "unpublished" ?

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

I just opened this as an “Issue” on EPrints 3.4 in GitHub, but it’s the same in Eprints 3.3 as well.

https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/issues/123

The BibTex and RIS exports check for the “ispublished” property, and if they find “unpublished” they set the Item Type to “unpub”, regardless if the Item Type is actually a thesis or a book or whatever.

Is that correct?

I ask because it also happens to break the import into Zotero, as that doesn’t seem to understand “unpublished” as an item type. 

Any comments on that would be appreciated.  I could just comment out the lines that overwrite the item type to “unpublished” in the export plugins, but seeing as these are part of the EPrints core, I wanted to check-in and ask if perhaps we need to change this in the core?
