Chicago Manual of Style (author-date) without DOI/URL

ariek

Hi there,

I suppose somebody must have done it before: Chicago Manual of Style without DOI and without the URL of the reference.

If you know where can I find such style, that would be great!
Thanks,
Arie

pretty sure you'll have to do this yourself, I'm not aware of any version out there. I understand DOI, but do you really want to get rid of URLs? The current CMoS styles should already use those pretty sparingly
But if you really want to, all you need to do is to delete

<choose>
<if type="legal_case" match="none">
<choose>
<if variable="DOI">
<text variable="DOI" prefix="doi:"/>
</if>
<else>
<text variable="URL"/>
</else>
</choose>
</if>
</choose>

following these general instructions:

Thanks, adamsmith.
I'll try that.

Hello,
I tried to remove only the part with the URL between if and else
</if>
<else>
<text variable="URL"/>
</else>
in order to remove unnecessary URL but to keep DOI
But I encounter an error when I "refresh" my document:
exec is undefined

Did someone succeeded in the solution proposed by AdamSmith?
Thanks,
Alain

adamsmith

you'd need to remove
<else>
<text variable="URL"/>
</else>

if you remove the </if> you break the style.

Sure, what a mistake !!

Hi there,

I have tried to only remove doi and keep the URL with Chicago Manual style. However, I did not succeed yet. I would be very grateful for some help!
Thank you very much

Can you provide your CSL code on gist.github.com?

Hi thank you for your advice.

I'm wondering how I could remove the DOIs while keeping the URLs, do you have any ideas?

Thank you very much

<choose>
<if variable="DOI">
<text variable="DOI" prefix="doi:"/>
</if>
<else>
<text variable="URL"/>
</else>
</choose>
</if>
</choose>

(or whatever is now the equivalent -- may not have stayed exactly the same.
to just

<text variable="URL"/>

Thank you. I've tried and it doesn't work. CSL validator said

Line 1232: required character (found “e”) (expected “i”)

Sorry, I'm brand new to this, and I can't manage to copy paste the code as it appears

adamsmith

You need to wrap code into <code> </code>

But it looks like you haven't removed the entire loop.

morvan.lallouet

I'm sorry I don't understand what that means.

bwiernik

When you type code on the forums, type <code> before the code and </code> after the code.

adamsmith

If you want to past code, put <code> in front of it and </code> after it.

morvan.lallouet

Ok, thank you very much.

This is what I have:


<choose>
<if type="legal_case" match="none">
<text variable="URL"/>
</group>


The CSL validator says :
Line 1230: required character (found “g”) (expected “i”)


="URL"/>
</group>
</macr


adamsmith

<choose>
<if type="legal_case" match="none">
<text variable="URL"/>
</if>
</choose>
</group>
try this

morvan.lallouet

Thank you very much, I tried and it works in the footnote. Would you, by any chance, know how to remove it from the bibliography as well?

adamsmith

the code will look very similar.

morvan.lallouet

Thanks again, it works

I too am looking for a CSL that strips out the DOI and URL (except from webpages) in the bibliography. In Paperpile there is a little button to click in the preferences that does this automatically, so I'm a little confused how to do it in Zotero. Perhaps someone already has a modified CSL file they could share?
