Lack of the place where a congress was held

luisague
In the references Zotero does not show the place where a congress was held. APA 7th edition.

    Could you please help me?

    What reference type are you using in Zotero? Are you citing an item from a published proceeding or a presentation? Zotero's "conference paper" seems to be for an item in a published proceedings book and the place is the place of publication. I may be wrong but here I include the location in the conference title field: 10th annual Zotero users conference, August 1 - 3 2020, Fairfax, VA, USA.(An imaginary event)

    I use the "presentation" type for unpublished conference presentations.

    For unpublished conference presentations, use the type “Presentation”, not “Conference Paper”. The latter is for conference papers formally published in proceedings.

    Thanks DWS-SDCA and Bwiernik

    I tried both options. What happens is that it is a presentation at a meeting/ conference, which is then published in an abstract book. If I use Conference paper, the place where it was held does not appear. If I use Presentation I cannot put the information that there is an abstract book.

    If it’s published, use Conference Paper. What citation style are you using?

    Hi bwiernik. APA 7 edition
  • bwiernik
    APA does not include the place of an event in citations to published conference proceedings. It simply cites them like a journal article or book chapter.
