Hi, Thomas,

I'm running into a problem with a particular CSL style file,
journal-of-archaeological-research.csl, which I set up like this:

#+bibliography: /home/dk/Library/texmf/tsd-bib/tsd.bib
#+cite_export: csl
 /home/dk/Library/csl/journal-of-archaeological-research.csl

The problem is that journal names are set using sentence case, when I
want them to just use what I've entered in tsd.bib.

Using your example, without getting into pandoc, I confirm that this is
what happens when you use ordinary Org export.

For normal org-cite processing during Org export, the fix is to set
(take a deep breath now) customize
~org-cite-csl-bibtex-titles-to-sentence-case~ to ~nil~.

This is due to differing expectations/conventions with regard to title case in bib(la)tex and CSL. See the docstring of that variable and the
discussion at

Yes, setting ~org-cite-csl-bibtex-titles-to-sentence-case~ to ~nil~ works in my case when exporting with ox-pandoc. Thanks!

Bibliographic style is intriguing for its extreme variability and scope for creativity within reasonably well-defined limits. A history would likely be a fascinating read, but in practice the variability is a headache for the author/editor. The bibliographic style for American Antiquity, one of our flagship journals, is so idiosyncratic that style files are rare and typically imprecise approximations.

Thanks again,
Tom
