CSL Style - Help formatting specific APA 7th scheme

Hello,

The standard APA 7th scheme produces outputs like:

Kabat-Zinn, J. (1995). Cómo asumir su propia identidad (A. Brito, Trad.; Primera edición). Plaza & Janés.

Perinat, A. (with Lalueza, J. L., & Sadurní, M.). (2003). Psicología del desarrollo: Un enfoque sistémico (1a ed.). Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.

In the Open University of Catalonia (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya - UOC) we must format the output with the APA 7th scheme, but with a slight change:

Perinat, A. [Adolfo] (with Lalueza, J. L. [José Luís], & Sadurní, M. [Marta]). (2003). Psicología del desarrollo: Un enfoque sistémico (1a ed.). Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.

... that is adding the author's first name, collaborator's first name, etc., inside brackets (see the example above).

In the same way, we should include the Series field before the publisher and inside brackets (in the example below, the value is "Recurs d'aprenentatge textual"):

Perinat, A. [Adolfo] (with Lalueza, J. L. [José Luís], & Sadurní, M. [Marta]). (2003). Psicología del desarrollo: Un enfoque sistémico (1a ed.). [Recurs d'aprenentatge textual] Universitat Oberta de Catalunya.

I've downladed the APA 7 CSL scheme and modified some strings for local (ca = Catalan, es = Spanish), the ID, etc., but I'm having some troubles adding the above 2 changes.

Could anybody help me?

Thank you in advance,

A.
  • Do you have a link to these style requirements?
  • Any help with this?

    No stress @bwiernik , just a friendly reminder! :-)

    Thank you!
  • I don't see how CSL/Zotero could do this without forcing APA-specific, custom data entry (i.e., putting J. L. [José Luís] in the first Name field and then disabling initialization).
    FWIW, I don't understand the purpose of this. If you want full first names in your citation styles -- which is completely legitimate of course -- why not just render first names regularly (the might already be an APA version with full first names and if there isn't it'd be trivial to create)? Why would you add them in square brackets, as if they were some sort of unofficial addition?
  • Well, this style is used in some Universities in Spain (UOC, UPC, URV, UdL...), not sure the purpose of this adaptation but seems "an standard adaptation" here :-(
