Style Request:[Cambridge Archaeological Journal]

madurruty
I am wondering is somebody can help me with this. I would like for Zotero to include the Cambridge Archaeological Journal citation style.

Using the CLS search by example no close match was identified.
I had no results looking in the style repository.
The link to CAJ style is: http://journals.cambridge.org/images/fileUpload/images/CAJ_ifc.pdf

    if you're not finding anything via search by example you're using it wrong. You'd definitely get some match. See here for instructions:
    https://github.com/citation-style-editor/csl-editor/wiki/User-guide-for-the-CSL-Editor
    the key part is that you need to use the citation data in the box on the left. You can't just paste any citation you want.

    as I say:
    "the key part is that you need to use the citation data in the box on the left. You can't just paste any citation you want."

    HI Adam,
    I figured it out (thanks for the comments). I am editing in the visual CSL editor. I have a question how do I change the spaces between the authors name and the year of the pub? Thanks!
  • adamsmith
    that depends on the style. You can do it either via suffix/prefix or with a group and delimiters.
    If you go to the "code editor" copy the code of the style and paste it somewhere I can look at it - patebin.com or gist.github.com (no registration required for either) I'd be able to tell you more.

    Here it is:

    My problem is that there is a paragraph separation between the authors and the year of the pub.

    change

    <text macro="author" text-case="capitalize-first" display="indent"/>
    to

    <text macro="author" text-case="capitalize-first" suffix=", "/>
  • madurruty
    Done. Thanks!
  • madurruty
    HI Adam,
    I finished this, and I followed the instructions. But when i drag and drop in an open zotero window the "install" button does not appear. Any suggestions?
    Thanks M.

    once you have something useful consider sharing it:
    https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md
  • adamsmith
    so you've downloaded a file that's called "abcdefg.csl"?
    What exactly happens when you drag that to Zotero?
