Remove publisher from journal article citation

Fintonhanks

I am using a custom citation style and want to make it so that when I cite a journal article it reads Author, title, Publication volume, (date), page.

At the moment in the citation code I have added reads

















But it then produced the citation

Jason McGraw, ‘Spectacles of Freedom: Public Manumissions, Political Rhetoric, and Citizen Mobilisation in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Colombia’, Slavery & abolition, 32 (Abingdon: Routledge, 2011), pp. 269–288.

How can I make it remove the publisher so the brackets just read (2011)?

Without seeing the code it's hard to pinpoint, but set a conditional for the publisher info for only the item types that need it (e.g. book, chapter, paper-conference, thesis).

Thank you, I think I have done that? But it didn't seem to work.

Hopefully, you can see the code in this photo. I essentially wrote if type="journal article" then told it to only include the date. This did not seem to change anything.

Thank you for your help!

we don't know what's in the macros. Post the whole style to pastebin.com or a comparable site where we don't have to download it to look at the code.

Hopefully, you can view it there.

You can probably delete line 311. That will delete the publisher info for journal articles.
Alternatively you can just add another <else-if type="article-journal" match="any"/> into the bibliography's conditional that tests for the different item types and then add the various bits how you want to look it there.

That worked, thank you!
