IEEE URL missing (again)
Hi,
This already happened in the past, just create a 'web page' item in zotero, then generate the bibliography in IEEE style, and no URL appears. Is it possible to correct this again please?
Thank you

But note that the IEEE apparently does not call for the use of URLs in their instructions:

Let me just add that every author uses urls in IEEE publications, so my point is that if the zotero IEEE style does not provide that.. essentially many authors will be adding the url manually to their references.
So i think that for this particular case, even if it is not specified it could be interesting to have a URL at least in a 'webpage' item.
Cheers

put the deleted line
<text macro="access" prefix="; "/>
back into the csl where it used to be.
That gives you the URL.
To get the access date, you have to change said macro.
Find the macro which looks like this:
<macro name="access">
<text variable="URL"/>
</macro>
and change it to this:
<macro name="access">
<text variable="URL"/>
<group prefix=" [" suffix="]">
<text term="accessed" text-case="capitalize-first" suffix=" "/>
<date variable="accessed">
<date-part name="month" suffix=" "/>
<date-part name="day" suffix=", "/>
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>
</group>
</macro>
This will give you the access date in square brackets with the word "Accessed" in front of it. You can play around with this a little to change the brackets, capitalization etc.
For a brief and simple description on where and how to do this,

Finally, if this is really that common, maybe it should be included in the style? Or at least, we should post IEEEwURLs in the style repository?
See description above on how to make one yourself.
There is none in the repository because no one took the time to find out and post how URLs are supposed to look in IEEE (i.e. are they in < >, does it say "Available from" before, is an access date given, in what format, with or without any "date accessed" prefix?
has some examples, which i've pasted one below:

[can't find any examples w/ a date immediately; found a couple more in the first form than the later form (i.e., just the URI)]

i welcome back your comments
Is there a reason this isn't included by default?
