Performer name is labeled anonymous when inserting Album citations
Hi- I'm having trouble with citing musical albums in my Word document. The album information saves properly in Zotero, including name of the Performer. However, the Performer's name comes up as "Anonymous" when I insert an album citation in my Word document. For instance, I'm citing Ice Cube's 1991 album Death Certificate, which shows up fine in my Zotero library. But the in-text citation shows up as (Anon 1991) when I add it to my document. Any idea about how to fix this?
Do you have names for composer / lyricist in Zotero?
@adamsmith, @bwiernik, I guess this is a consequence of a style not being updated for CSL 1.0.2? "Performer" is no longer passed through as
author
, and so if a style hasn't been updated to haveperformer
, the performer is ignored?Would it be possible to conditionally map Performer to `performer` if the item has a Composer but to `author` otherwise?
CSL stands for Citation Style Language.
See:
https://www.zotero.org/support/styles
https://citationstyles.org/
Zotero and several other similar programs use CSL to format what is in your Zotero library database into bibliographic styles such as APA, ASA, Chicago, Vancouver, etc.
song
from CSL-JSON toaudioRecording
, we accept bothauthor
andperformer
, mapped toperformer
in Zotero? Oh, it looks like we had these in our planned changes, but I can do these now forcastMember
inradioBroadcast
,tvBroadcast
, andvideoRecording
. We don't havecastMember
onfilm
but that's obviously coming.castMember
, etc. Okay, in that case, let's just map it always toauthor
and useperformer
just for contributors that are not the principle creator (like cast members).author
, while Cast Member will be CSLperformer
.@antran215, this should now be fixed in the latest Zotero beta, and the fix will be included in Zotero 6.0.12.
