How to cite "The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein"
For example, volume 1.

What should I be entering for Title, Series, Series Number, Volume, Short Title, and Edition? The web page suggests it's part of a series, but equally it might be considered a volume of a single work. The presence of volume titles further complicates things.

Volume: 1
Nothing in edition, and any of the series fields
volume-title: The Early Years, 1879-1902
Translator: Beck, Anna
Publisher & place as usual.
Currently, I believe only the Chicago Manual styles properly display volume titles, though.
- On the web page, the book is labelled "English translation supplement", and "English translation" on the cover page itself. Should this be included in "Edition" perhaps, or is the Language field sufficient?
- I presume the Title and Volume Title should both be sentence-cased?
- Should I list the 'collaborator' as a 'Contributor' alongside the translator? I imagine this is rarely included anyway.
- Can I write "Volume Title" instead of "volume-title" in Extra, or not?
- Yes, exactly, sentence case all titles in Zotero
- Contributors are almost never used in citation styles, so this is up to you.
- Yes, pretty sure Volume Title: is equivalent to volume-title: in Extra (I think it's actually preferred, I just can't always remember the rules for converting from what is the citation style language variable)
