Style Request: Family Business Review

Hello, I have tried to find a citation style for the journal, Family Business Review, on all the websites related to Zotero, but I could not find anything. Therefore, I would like to ask if you could please create a new style for Family Business Review.

Campbell, J. L., & Pedersen, O. K. (2007). The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success, Comparative Political Studies, 40(3): 307–332.

Mares, I. (2001). Firms and the welfare state: When, why, and how does social policy matter to employers? In P. A. Hall & D. Soskice (Eds.), Varieties of Capitalism. The institutional Foundations of Comparative Advantage (pp. 184–213). New York: Oxford University Press.

(P.S.: The forum only allows me to type in text form, not in HTML. I am not able to change the type of the text. The title of the journal and book should all be in italic type. You can find the most accurate presentation in the link below that will lead you to the journal's guide.)

ISSN: 0894-4865
eISSN: 1741-6248

I would really appreciate if you could please help me to set up this style.
Thank you.
  • I try to edit the style myself by using visual CSL editor, and I use APA as the reference style.
    However, I have some issues in editing the style.

    Does anyone know how can I replace "." with "," after the title of journal article only, but not for book or book chapter. I try to change the delimiter, but it will replace every "." with "," which is not what I want. The only thing that needs to be changed is between the titles of the article and journal.

    Another problem I have is that how I can capitalize all the first letters of the title and subtitle (with one after ":")? Although I choose capitalize-first option in the text, the subtitle is still not in capital letter.
  • The first issue is a bit tricky given the structure of APA style. The easiest solution would seem to be to exclude the container-title for journal articles from the macro container and add it to the macro locators instead, you'd have to work with the if/else-if logic there, but a lot of that is already in the style, so this may not be too hard.

    For the second question, CSL can't currently do that. There is an add-on which will automate this, though, see this post (and link therein) and discussion afterwards:
