need a special style format...

Hi,

does somebody knows a style similar to this?

First time in document:
Goffman, Erving: The presentation of self in everyday life. York 1980, S.19

short citation:
Goffman 1980, S.235

Thanks & Kind Regards!

not quite - roughtly similar styles could be Chicago Manual (Full Note) or "Kritische Ausgabe"

the long version of chigaco is perfect, but the short citation is way too different.. instead of the date, there is the title. but thanks!

doesn't exist then.

so did my request.

for next versions of zotero´: isnt it possible to program something, so everyone can define his/her one style simply write codes of names: surname, name: title. edition. year date. in a field. like rip-programs name files automatically. or something like that.

if it would be so easy.. ;)

Thanks so far!

I'm not sure someone will have time for this - as per "we don't have the time to create custom styles some professors require their students to use"

Citation styles are more complex than file names.
You can look here:

Mendeley started developing a citation style editor, but no one knows how that's coming.

like i wrote in my request: i think its a common way of citation in germany and not only from "some professor". especially the short one. i do understand that this is something people do without any personal benefits - so i only asked.

i did a short try to edit some style and get rid of the brackets of hwr berlin, but turns out i couldnt find any bracket in the document;) i am not used to csl...

nice evening!
