The bibliographystyle{IEEEtran} in my IEEE Overleaf template produces:

[1] D. C. Knill and A. Pouget, “The Bayesian brain: the role of
uncertainty in neural coding and computation ”Trends in
Neurosciences,vol. 27, no. 12, pp. 712–719, Dec. 2004.

[Online]. Available: http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0166223604003352

but I want:

[1] D. C. Knill and A. Pouget, “The Bayesian brain: the role of
uncertainty in neural coding and computation,” Trends in
Neurosciences, vol. 27, no. 12, pp. 712–719, Dec. 2004.

How can I get rid of the '[Online]' and 'Available:' strings, as well as of the contents of the url field itself?

I have synced my Zotero library with Overleaf to produce a .bib file.
Entries look as follows:

@article{knill_bayesian_2004,

        title = {The {Bayesian} brain: the role of uncertainty in 

        neural coding and computation},

        volume = {27},

        issn = {01662236},

        shorttitle = {The {Bayesian} brain},

        url =          

       {http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0166223604003352},

        doi = {10.1016/j.tins.2004.10.007},

        language = {en},

        number = {12},

        urldate = {2018-11-14TZ},

        journal = {Trends in Neurosciences},

        author = {Knill, David C. and Pouget, Alexandre},

        month = dec,

        year = {2004},

        pages = {712--719}

}

I use bibtex to generate the bibliography.

bibliography{bibtex/bib/references_from_zotero.bib}

bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}

Does anyone know a better way than to manually remove the url, doi, and urldate from either Zotero or the resulting .bbl file?

I have tried to untick the 'Include URLS of paper articles in references' box Zotero for Mac --> Preferences --> Cite and then resync with Overleaf. This didn't have an effect.

Look for IEEEtran.bst in your TeX distribution files. For Windows and MiKTeX 2.9, this would be C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingMiKTeX2.9bibtexbstieeetran. Make a backup copy of it and save it under different name (e.g., IEEEtranbak.bst). Open IEEEtran.bst (your LaTeX editor would work for that) and and look for FUNCTION {default.is.use.url} { #1 } and change it to FUNCTION {default.is.use.url} { #0 }
