Cite Primary Sources
Is there a possibility to work with primary sources in Zotero? For example references to the following sources should in all footnote-formats be cited in the same way:
Herodotus, History III.2.45.
Josephus Flavius, Jewish Wars I.33.
Augustine, Confessions I.3.
Now Zotero handles them as normal books, which is not according to the academic standards. They do it simply like my examples. Also these sources are not included in the bibliography.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
I would refer to this as classical sources btw. and not as primary sources (which are a much broader category and often include archival information that needs to be cited) - you can find some discussion of this under that label on the forum.
If they're not going to be in the bibliography, I think you're best of not using Zotero to cite them anyway.
In the meanwhile I read all the discussions about it in the form. Is there a possibility to vote on this option, so that it will be included in Zotero?
