Blank citations

mronkko · January 30, 2010

Is there a blank citation style? If not, is it technically possible to create one?

In some cases I would like to hide all in-text citatations. One use case would be to do this before inputting a text into plagiarism detection software so that different citation styles do not interfere with the software.

It seems that it is possible. Added a new style to SVN https://www.zotero.org/svn/csl/blank.csl

The only issue with the style is that it adds a blank paragraph for each citation where the bibliography is supposed to be. I do not think that it is possible to fix this without changing Zotero code.

I tried to download it but it has been moved to github. I downloaded it and tried to open it with Zotero it says the CSL file is invalid.

https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/blank.csl is currently valid CSL, so I can't help on that end.

May I ask what you want to use it for?
