"Hope springs eternal in the human heart." Boscof16, this is a problem that was identified 4 years ago and you are correct...it's still not working right. But rather than address it, it appears the powers that be just want to post non-responsive …

RE: access dates for DOIs is a silly requirement in Turabian Agree 100%

RE: "I understand that Turabian wants that and we'll put it in" Thanks...but to be clear, it doesn't need to be PUT in...it's ALREADY in and it's working well, just needs to be maintained as you revise handling of DOI and URL. It may be that we a…

RE: The problem, btw, is not the DOI in URL form (that makes sense) but the access date (which decidedly doesn't). I'm unclear as to why you reference the Access Date in your comment, but to make sure that I haven’t confused things, the “access da…

Note that Zotero handles current Chicago Style Manual (16th edition) perfectly. It asks that the DOI be entered in this format: doi:10.1080/14664650600956585 And Zotero is currently handling it perfectly--Zotero overrides any URL that the databas…

Adding a comment to revive this thread and inquire about the status of this update. DOI in Turabian: It requires that if DOI is used as the ID to cite an online source, it should appear (in both note and biblio) in the form of a URL, meaning this s…

Adamsmith: Are you with Zotero? If so, I would welcome the chance to discuss this with you. I THINK something could be done if we only do some out of the box thinking. If it's possible to talk on the phone, please let me know how we can set up t…

RE: Turabian It's often called "Chicago-Turabian." It differs from Chicago is a few significant ways. As it it based on Chicago, when I saw Chicago on the list of packaged citation styles, I made an assumption that it was my only option. I spent …

5: OTHER FORMATS Finally, there is a guy Jeff Marca PhD who has done some tremendous thinking about genealogy citation. He's published his ideas and works on his web page "Simple Citations: Making Life Easier for Family Historians." His approach h…

2: AUTOMATION The ideal would be for Zotero to gather data when the researcher is looking at an electronic copy of a record on one of any number of genealogy websites. I don’t know if uniform metadata standards exist for online genealogy records, b…

1: TEMPLATES Sources that genealogists use have multiple unique data elements that vary significantly from one source type to another. In the examples shown below, I’ve tried to bridge this gap by creating standard field labels that both record ty…

I've just come across this forum and others that reference Zotero and genealogy citation. AdamSmith, you've asked for some information about genealogy citation format and data elements that I don't think have been answered. I have attempted answer y…

Did the suggestion work for you, frenyrobinson?

If you are looking for "date accessed" in your style, it sounds like you may be using the Turabian version of the Chicago style manual. Turabian requires that the "accessed date" be included, but it's parent, Chicago, does not. My confusion arose be…

AdamSmith: Thanks for your reply. While following your suggestion, I stumbled on the full solution. It turns out that many style formats are not included by default in a Zotero profile. My confusion arose because I assumed that there was no speci…
