[MLZ] URL for Conference Paper

Mathias Winterberg
Hi all
I am using Zotero MLZ, but however, that shouldn't change my problem: I don't achieve to have the URL link to a conference paper in the citation (eventhough I have set the cross on "including URL" in the preferences) Any help would be highly appreciated!

    Edit your message and add [MLZ] to the title of the thread.

    Which CSL style?

    I am using the MLZ OSCOLA - Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities. But I experienced the same problem by usage of the regular OSCOLA (not the MLZ version). In the citation guide published by Oxford, it is mentioned that one should include the URL and date of accession..

    Thank you!

    the Vanilla Zotero OSCOLA style has the access macro - which prints URLs commented out so it will never print URLs. So that's working as expected, even if it may not be correct. Since OSCOLA really only works decently well with MLZ I won't try to fix that there.

    In MLZ OSCOLA, URLs are printed only for the following item types:
    "graphic post-weblog post webpage motion_picture article-newspaper broadcast video song map"
    Frank or Alfonso would be the people to contact about that if it's incorrect.

    Mathias,

    OSCOLA wants URLs for resources that are only available online, and a conference paper that does not appear in a journal does fit that description. I'll make the adjustment soon. Will that cover your own use case?

    I've made the change to include the URL in unpublished conference proceedings. You can test by reinstalling the style from http://citationstylist.org/tools.
