Greek citation style

azvd

Since the style has Greek as a default language, terms like "et al" will be in Greek (κ.ά).

You can download the latest version of the style here:

However, if you do not wish to cite in Greek, you may want to use another style.

Alternatively, inside the CSL file, you could change the <id> of the style on line 5 slightly (so that Zotero knows it is different from the original one) and change the default-locale (on line 2) from "el-GR" to "en-US".

Months in Greek may appear either in nominative or in genitive as well as in long and short forms.

...the form attribute may also be set to "verb" or "verb-short", so that the allowed values are:
• "long" - (default), e.g. "editor" and "editors" for the "editor" term
• "short" - e.g. "ed." and "eds." for the term "editor"
• "verb" - e.g. "edited by" for the term "editor"
• "verb-short" - e.g. "ed." for the term "editor"
• "symbol" - e.g. "§" and "§§" for the term "section"

Based on the above, is it possible to use verb and verb-short for months?

<!-- LONG MONTH FORMS -->
<term name="month-03">Μάρτιος</term>

<!-- SHORT MONTH FORMS -->
<term name="month-03" form="short">Μάρτ.</term>

<!-- VERB MONTH FORMS -->
<term name="month-03" form="verb">Μαρτίου</term>

<!-- VERB-SHORT MONTH FORMS -->
<term name="month-03" form="verb-short">Μαρτ.</term>

no, there is no "verb" form for months - and there shouldn't be since months can't be verbs ;-).

Several languages do change the case for months depending on context, though, so we can think about whether adding something like "alternate-case" as an option makes sense, but right now there is no way to get this right.

Under what conditions do months in Greek appear in nominative, and when do they appear in genitive case?
