Upgrade StorageCiting Dissertations APA 6th Edition
Zotero is not exporting dissertations (type=thesis) from a database service (e.g. ProQuest) according to APA 6th edition. The manual states:
For a doctoral dissertation or master's thesis available from a database service, use the following reference template:
Author, A. A. (2003). Title fo doctoral dissertation or master's thesis (Doctoral dissertation or master's thesis). Retrieved from Name of database. (Accession or Order No.)
The title should be italicized. In the case of ProQuest (the most used site at my institution), the Order No. is "UMI No."
Here is what Zotero currently exports:
Cotter-Lemus, K. (2009). Children of possibility: Children’s musicking in communities of practice (Ph.D.). University of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College, United States -- Rhode Island. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com.proxy.lib.umich.edu/pqdtft/docview/305172971/abstract/137E5CE6C3767FA8431/16?accountid=14667
OR
Tsugawa, S. (2009). Senior adult music learning, motivation, and meaning construction in two New Horizons ensembles. Arizona State University, United States -- Arizona.
In the case of the first dissertation, it should read:
Cotter-Lemus, K. (2009). [IN ITALICS]Children of possibility: Children’s musicking in communities of practice[STOP ITALICS] (Doctoral dissertation). Retrieved from ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. (UMI No. 3401141)
I've read up on editing csi code, unfortunately, it's a little over my head. Does anyone have a suggestion? Can this be fixed in a future update?
Thanks!
