springer LNCS web sources
hi,
i am writing a paper using the springer LNCS template v. 1703 for word mac.
i am also using the LNCS zotero stile for the citations.
the LNCS template shows that the bibliography should indicate the "last accessed date" for the web sources, while the zotero LNCS style ignores this.
could someone help me, please?
thanks!

), and Springer journals generally don't use them. I also don't see access dates in a handful of papers I grabbed, so I would suspect that the template is simply out of date.
Regarding page numbers, you mean when you enter a page number in the Add/Edit Citation window in the Word plugin? Including page numbers in numeric styles like this would be very unusual, and I don't see any examples in my search of a paper including them in a citation.

For citations of references, we prefer the use of square brackets and consecutive num-bers. Citations using labels or the author/year convention are also acceptable. The following bibliography provides a sample reference list with entries for journal arti-cles [1], an LNCS chapter [2], a book [3], proceedings without editors [4], as well as a URL [5].

At the end of the day the problem is that there are a lot of outdated online resources and is hard to understand what is current and what is not.
Should we add accessed for webpage, post, and post-weblog to the Springer styles? What about report?
Sorry for the long wait, but we just pushed a PR to include access dates. (https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/pull/4320#event-2663613283)
