2nd Ed. SBL Handbook Note style no longer has the place in the citation

As in the title, it's now incorrect - the place has completely disappeared from both the notes and bibliography in all of the Item Types that I'm currently using (book, thesis, journal article, blogpost, conference paper) so I'd assume that would be the same with the rest too

  That's correct SBL. Chicago removed the place in the 18th edition and SBL had a blogpost in December that they are following suit.

*****

If you use SBL style previously in Zotero and don't want the update one which removed all the publishing places, you can get the "legacy edition" of the SBL 2.0 style here.

 

For those who uses HRW Chinese and English Citation 3rd edition (full note) (which works on 《學術研究與寫作：聖經、神學與教牧學研究手冊》), this is not affected. See here.
