How to use the "Extra" field

JamieMartin · August 4, 2020

I am trying to cite from a recorded audiobook; I want to use Book as my item type and put some additional info in the Extra field.

I know that MLA style will pick up certain tags from Extra, like "original-date." What I don't know is, What are all the tags that will be recognized from the Extra field? If that depends on my CSL style, where can I find that info in the style?

Thank you!

It's explained here: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields#citing_fields_from_extra

So there's no trivial way to see which citation style uses which extra value because it's in part item-type dependent (e.g. most styles would use DOIs in the Extra field).

TY, that's the documentation link I needed!

Also, I love your work. Most people like Wealth of Nations, but I'm a fan of Theory of Moral Sentiments. ;)
