Style Request: [Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith]

PSCF instructions to authors regarding citations are: "Use endnotes for all references. Each note must have a unique number. Follow The Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed., sections 14.1 to 14.317)." To clarify, the style uses only the endnotes, without a separate bibliography. Citations and bibliography use superscript numbers.

Examples (here I use ^# to denote superscript numbers, and _underscores to denote begin/end of italic type_):

In-text citations:

^1
^2

Bibliography (end notes):

^1Campbell, John L., and Ove K. Pedersen. “The Varieties of Capitalism and Hybrid Success: Denmark in the Global Economy.” _Comparative Political Studies_ 40, no. 3 (2007): 307–32. doi:10.1177/0010414006286542.
^2Mares, Isabela. “Firms and the Welfare State: When, Why, and How Does Social Policy Matter to Employers?” _Varieties of Capitalism_, 2001, 184–212.

A back issue of PSCF, including the above instructions to authors and example articles, is freely available here:

The following two existing styles appear similar to PSCF, but in different respects. I don't know enough about CSL to determine if the similarities are great enough to create a dependent style.

(1) chicago-note-bibliography-16th-edition.csl (would need a numerical style, with endnotes as bibliography)

(2) aci-materials-journal.csl (a numerical style with broadly similar choices, would need formatting altered to match CMoS 16)

FWIW, I am using markdown and Pandoc in conjunction with BibTeX to create .docx output. Thanks for your consideration.

Respectfully,

  • Edited to include ISSN & spell out journal title.
  • This looks like the Chicago 16 fullnote style we have available: http://www.zotero.org/styles/chicago-fullnote-bibliography-16th-edition
    The one you mention is the "note" style that only produces short footnotes.

    Also, you need to set it to "Endnotes" within the Document Preferences to get the bibliography like endnotes at the end of the document.

    Thanks for looking at this. I don't understand the context of your comment. To what Document Preferences do you refer? I thought it might be something in Word, but I don't see anything of this description in Word [Word for Mac, Version 16.84 (24041420)]. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place -- I have only started using Word for this project, usually I am a LaTeX guy.
  • To clarify, I am using the .csl as input to Pandoc to generate .docx output. So Pandoc is what's ultimately tracking my references (via a BibTeX database). Could it be that Pandoc needs a numerical style to generate endnotes?
