Subsequent Citations

scottrw2

My issue is similar to jdblount83 and dan1989. I need to submit a manuscript in Chicago Style with all citations in author, short title, date format.

I've looked at the CSL guide and the code for chicago-note-bibliography, chicago-fullnote-bibliography-short-title-subsequent, and chicago-fullnote-bibliography and I can't seem to find the section of the code that deals with subsequent citations.

What is my best way forward?

Thank you.

So you need the date in there? We don't have that format for Chicago at all, nor is it a common Chicago format (you either have the full information or author, short title (with the date only added when it's needed for disambiguation, which is quite rare)

Adam,

Sorry I wasn't clear. All citations need to be in author, short date, page number format. So ... my first entry needs to be like note-bibliography and the remaining notes need to be like bibliography-short-title-subsequent. Is there a way to merge these two styles?

Thank you for your patience.

You would have to modify the style, but that's pretty easy in this case -- there are general instructions here, don't forget to change ID and title -- and specifically you'd want to delete
<choose>
<if position="ibid ibid-with-locator" match="any">
<group delimiter=", ">
<text macro="contributors-short"/>
<group delimiter=" ">
<group delimiter=", ">
<choose>
<if variable="author editor translator" match="none">
<text macro="title-short"/>
</if>
</choose>
<text macro="case-locator-subsequent"/>
</group>
<text macro="case-pinpoint-subsequent"/>
</group>
<choose>
<if match="none" type="legal_case">
<text macro="point-locators-subsequent"/>
</if>
</choose>
</group>
</if>
<else>

and then 18 lines further down the corresponding
</else>
</choose>

Edit: Make sure to delete exactly those lines -- if you delete one line less or more, things will break.
