Removing DOI from JEK journal

Patricio.pincheiram · July 20, 2017

Hi,

I want to remove the doi field from the .csl file found for this journal in the repository. I have tried to follow the different guidelines that can be found in the forum...........

https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/7252/removing-doi-and-retrieved-from-apa-style-bibliographies

.......................I am no good at coding, but it seems that the code is written in a different manner in this .csl (at least to the one shown in the examples)

(Sorry, I couldn't paste the code here)

Can someone help me?

Regards

This style is dependent on Elsevier Harvard style. I think the changing line <link href="http://www.zotero.org/styles/elsevier-harvard" rel="independent-parent"/> to <link href="http://www.zotero.org/styles/elsevier-harvard2" rel="independent-parent"/> should be enough. Can you try it.

EDIT: it seems as Elsevier Harvard2 style (and also Elsevier Harvard) use abbreviated names of journals. On another side, the JEL Guide for authors says:

Journal titles should appear in full.

Hi,

was this noticed by the editors?
As JEK is an Elsevier journal, we do know that they like to have the DOI included as they'll need that for their webversion of articles, even though they don't include them in the print articles (or pdfs).

LiborA · July 21, 2017

I do not know, in the Guide for Authors is

Please ensure that references are complete, in that they include where relevant, author's name, article or book title, volume and issue number, publisher, year and page reference.

Nothing about doi.

Elsevier in particular has indicated that they always want DOIs, as they use them to build their links in the ScienceDirect site.

Hi LiborA

With your edit this error apperars

Error parsing style:
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIIOService.newFileURI]" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/style.js :: Zotero.Style.prototype.getCiteProc :: line 622" data: no]

It works for me correctly. It seems you edit the style wrong or the format is wrong. Try to validate your file on http://validator.citationstyles.org/

Patricio.pincheiram · July 24, 2017

No errors on the validator. The Zotero style editor complains with that error. I created a .csl with the editing (that is basically a number 2 after the word harvard, am I alright?) but I cant make it work.........

Download this one and try it

Patricio.pincheiram · July 24, 2017

I did it, and it doesn't work. In MS word, zotero plugin complain about .csl format.
The problem is that number 2, since after deleting it, the reference works....

I'm a little surprised this doesn't work for you, but in any case, all it does is point to this style:
https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:elsevier-harvard2
so you may just as well use that instead of trying to use a custom style for JEK.
