MLA 8 leaves off URL for journal articles

jet2131 · August 20, 2019

For some reason, when I export a bibliography using MLA 8, citations of Journal Articles are missing the URL. For instance, even though the stable JSTOR url is in my zotero entry, it does not appear during export. What's going on?

Does it have a DOI? I believe that at least in some styles, a DOI will be used instead of another URL. (You probably don't need both.)

Alternatively, check in Zotero settings under "Cite" to see that "Include URLs of paper articles in references" is checked. (If unchecked, URLs will be omitted if pages are specified.)

It is most likely the "Include URLs of paper articles in references" option.
