Zotero in Google Docs - omitting URLs

sdspieg

Does anybody have any idea on why some URLs are still displaying in the Zotero-generated bibliography section of my paper, even though they have been explicitly omitted in the Zotero preferences for a particular chose citation style (in my case Chicago (note)? See screenshots

I might be wrong, but the Citation Options does not apply to Report type:

Whem this option is disabled, Zotero includes URLs when citing journal, magazine, and newspaper articles only if the article does not have a page range specified.

And this specific report is only available on the web, so an URL seems required. If you prefer the DOI form, you can add the DOI to the extra field: DOI: 10.7249/HDA1631-1 It will be used as URL in the bibliography.

Hmmm. The point is that because of the word limits, I'm trying to cut the words. And so being able to suppress these URLs would be a great help. Is there really no way to do that?

Changing the citation styles (really isn't hard -- you probably just have to take out
<text variable="URL"/> or a slight variety of it)

Thanks Sebastian! Will do...
