Upgrade StorageChicago Manual of Style 18th edition (author-date) Incorrectly Placing Quotation Marks
Hi everyone.
When I try to make a Chicago Manual of Style article bibliography citation, it uses single quotation marks instead of double, and places them before the dot after a title instead of after.
e.g.
Ademolu, Edward. 2026. ‘Feedback as Epistemic Formatting: Neurodivergent Academic Labour and the Institutional Legibility of Assessment’. Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, July: 1–20.
instead of:
Ademolu, Edward. 2026. “Feedback as Epistemic Formatting: Neurodivergent Academic Labour and the Institutional Legibility of Assessment.” Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, July: 1–20.
I am unsure as to why this is. I changed my language from English UK to English and that did not change anything. Is there anything that could be causing this?
Thanks a lot!

adamsmithYes, this depends on the language settings and you're seeing UK quotation marks. How are you generating the citations -- for the word processor plugins, the language settings in the Document Preferences are the ones that matter.

Virtual.mp3I was just generating it from within the app (selected citations -> right-click -> generate bibliography). I tried it out on my desktop just now, was doing so on my laptop before, and for some reason it works fine on my desktop. No clue why.

adamsmithLet us know if you can replicate the error on your laptop -- this should be reliably the way you want it when set to US English.
