Style Request: [Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space]

Note: this journal claims to use Sage-Harvard style, but the existing CSL for Sage-Harvard includes a DOI and possibly other items that the journal does not want.

What are you basing the fact that the journal doesn't want DOIs on? Lots of journals would want them on submission even if they don't turn up in the published article, so just going by published pieces wouldn't be sufficient (and their author guidlines link to the Sage Harvard guide that has DOIs).

The Sage Harvard guide that the journal links to only says to include DOIs for journal articles published ahead of print. Regular (published) articles do not include a DOI. I double-checked this by looking at a couple of recent papers.

I see yes -- I think that's just incorrect for our Sage Harvard style. The DOI has been there for a long time, but we're using the same guidelines the journal links to and it clearly shouldn't be for regular articles

Am I understanding you correctly that the Zotero Save Harvard style needs updating to remove the DOI from regular articles?

adamsmith · August 30, 2023

Yes, exactly

Generally, this wouldn't be called "Style request", but a style error.

I've submitted a PR to fix the style.
