Style Request: Institute of Education House Style

mariespring · January 20, 2013

Hi

Fairly new to Zotero so please bear with me... My uni (Institute of Education) has a house style for bibliography, which seems similar to Harvard Educational Review (closest I could find), but in the case of articles or chapter in an edited collection, the title should be in inverted commas. Also, the page number should be shown after the date with colons (1979:18).

I have found the house style as a .ens file (see in the link below), would anyone be able to accurately convert to .csl? It didn't work when I tried to open it in Zotero, the message "Institute_of_Education_House_Style.ens does not appear to be a valid style file" appeared.

IOE House Style .ens file can be downloaded from:

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Marie

But you can try to edit Harvard Educational Review with the editor: http://editor.citationstyles.org/about/ (+ User guide here)

Anyone would be able to help create the style for Zotero? Would be much appreciated!

Sorry, at this point I only code new styles for journals or major style guides, not for individual schools, departments, or chairs. (and afaik I've been the only person answering style requests for a couple of years now)
That's both because I don't have the time and because I don't think such styles should exist.
I recommend you try to do this yourself with the visual editor as linked to by Gracile or find someone else at IoE willing to help. We're happy to help with specific questions/problems.
