Different display of date for newspapers and journal articles?

tbaitsch

Hi there

In my dissertation I would like to reference newspaper articles differently then journal articles. I am using Zotero stand alone and word 2011 on mac.

I am using built in Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (author-date)

Hence this is what is displayed: (The Hindu 2013)
Instead I would like to see the full date of the article (The Hindu 23.10.2013) (or similar)

Is there a way display newspaper articles with a full date and others like books an journal articles only with the year?

thanks for the support.

You'd have to modify the citation style. Something like changing
<if variable="issued">
<group delimiter=" ">
<date variable="original-date" form="text" date-parts="year" prefix="[" suffix="]"/>
<date variable="issued">
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>
</group>
</if>

to

<if variable="issued" type="article-newspaper" match="all">
<date variable="issued" form="numeric"/>
</if>
<else-if variable="issued">
<group delimiter=" ">
<date variable="original-date" form="text" date-parts="year" prefix="[" suffix="]"/>
<date variable="issued">
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>
</group>
</else-if>

Great it worked.
Although the bibliography should correspond to the date.
Sorry but i am rally not into coding. So i might ask you for help a second time?

Thank you very much.

p.s.: what do I have to do that the style is saved under a different name and not replacing the original Chicago style?

If you're not going to be using original date of publication, you can do the same replacement a little higher under the date macro .

There are instructions for changing style name and ID in the link I provided: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
