OSCOLA (March 2026)

KilianUmbach
Hi,

the current OSCOLA (1 March 2026) seems to have some bugs: eg it shows the DOI or URL even though this should not show in Book Sections or Journal Articles.

Is anyone experiencing the same?
And is it possible to provide the 'old' OSCOLA style in the repository?

Best regards,
Kilian

    I’m working on the recent fifth edition of OSCOLA and will check that this is as correct as possible.

    Thanks for looking into this!

    Would also request addition of the short reference format - where a long title is referred to as a shortened title name for convenience through the rest of the citations - as an add-on? Perhaps this could use the short title field in zotero when present, and if the case is cited more than once?

    This is described in the 5th edition of OSCOLA under the heading 'Short forms of case names' pp 15-17

    I am experiencing the same issue — the DOI is appearing in where it should not. It would be great to have this fixed.

    Thank you, dunning, for working on it and for looking into this — much appreciated!
