citation style with year at end

Quimeta

Hello everyone,

I am trying to adapt an existing style so that it matches the style requested by the publisher for a book chapter I am co-authoring. The main thing I am unsure about is how to have the year appearing at the end of the entry in the bibliography. This is what the bibliographic entries should look like:

Hall jr., Robert A., The Reconstruction of Proto-Romance, in: Kontzi, Reinhold (ed.), Zur Entstehung der romanischen Sprachen, Darmstadt, Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft, 1978, 216–244.

Bouvier, Jean, Le français, in: Meier, Kai/Clark, Peter (edd.), Die romanischen Sprachen, vol. 1, Berlin/Boston, de Gruyter, 2013, 2–88.

Badía Margarit, Antonio, De nouveau sur la sonorisation spontanée des consonnes sourdes en catalan: les palatales, Revue de linguistique romane 38 (1974), 20–25.

This is the link to the stylesheet: https://www.degruyter.com/publication/serial_code/BZRP-B/downloadAsset/BZRP-B_BZrP_Stylesheet_English.pdf

I should be fine figuring out minor changes (inserting dashes between names etc) but I am unsure about how to move the year. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks :)

I think you should be able to find something reasonably close via https://editor.citationstyles.org/searchByExample/
Beyond that, hard to help without seeing the code of the style you're working off.

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I tried looking for similar styles but I did not find one with the year at the end of the entry. One that should be closest is the one from "Journal für Medienlinguistik", which has the following code:

I suppose I need to change the bit with the macro "creator-year-long" and "creator-year-short" , taking out the year, and moving it to another macro further down, but I was wondering if someone with more experience could give me some tips!
thanks!

I'd probably recommend focussing on a style that's closer for the bibliography (something like https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:geistes-und-kulturwissenschaften-heilmann ) and then fixing the in-text citation.

If you do want to work with the Medienlinguistik style, you'd want to pull out

<date date-parts="year" form="text" variable="issued" prefix="(" suffix=")"/> from the creator-year-long macro and start by adding it to the publication-place-publisher one. You'd then still need to add it to other item types such as journals -- needn't be as a macro, you can also add it to the relevant section in the bibliography (which has else-if conditions for each citation style).

Ah yes it is probably much easier starting from that style, I will try that! Thanks so much for all your help :)
