And delimiter within citation

edited September 25, 2024
Hi,

I have produced a modified style based on the latest MHRA 4th edition (note with bibliography) based on the dissertation requirements for my course, however, I cannot get in citation the use of 'and' to specific the delimiter between the second to last and last name of a name variable.

For example my citations display (Smith 2016a, Smith 2016c, Smith 2017; Jones 2018) rather than (Smith 2016a, Smith 2016c and Smith 2017; Jones 2018).

My CSL is:

names variable="author"
name form="short" and="text" initialize-with=". " suffix=" " delimiter-precedes-last="never"
et-al font-style="normal" term="et-al"

Any help would be appreciated.

  • That can't be done in CSL. (The bit you include refers to author names of a single work). You can include the "and" as a prefix when adding the citation as a workaround
  • Hi Adam, many thanks for your quick reply, it is appreciated. I wondered if I had just misinterpreted the documentation. I have recently moved from Mendeley to Zotero and it’s great. Thanks again.
