Style Request: Springer VS - Chicago Manual of Style (author-date, German)
I need to use a simplified variant of the Chicago author-date style for a German edited volume. I think the Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie (KZfSS) style is a good but not perfect match. At first sight, only the display of online documents without a DOI needs changing. Can you help with this?
Current KZfSS output looks like:
1) "PhilSci archive." is not displayed.
2) The date of access is formatted differently.
3) The "." after the URL.
I have noticed one more requirement. Springer VS only want the DOI for journal articles that have not been added to an issue. Is that possible with Zotero?
Example:
Below are some more style examples provided by the publisher Springer VS.
Current KZfSS output looks like:
However, it should look like:Frisch, Mathias. 2007. Does a low-entropy constraint prevent us from influencing the past? http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/3390/ (Zugegriffen Juni 26, 2007).
I see three differences:
- Online‐Dokument (ohne DOI)
Frisch, Mathias. 2007. Does a low‐entropy constraint prevent us from influencing the past? PhilSci archive. http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/3390/. Zugegriffen: 26.
Juni 2007.
1) "PhilSci archive." is not displayed.
2) The date of access is formatted differently.
3) The "." after the URL.

Thanks for the elaborate examples.
What's this "German edited volume" called? Would it be worth for us to take this up into the repository so other users can use it, too?
We can certainly make a style for this, especially if it's only a few changes needed as indicated. Can you link to the style guidelines/documentation? (edit: I'll get it sent via PM)
Just to double check, you checked all the other Springer styles in the repo? https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=springer
BTW, due to copy and paste I lost the italics in the provided examples but they are in the PDF that I can send you and should not deviate from KZfSS.
@damnation No, but did it now. Springer Humanities (author-date) is the closest style apart from KZfSS.
@adamsmith When "ItemType: Document" then in "Publisher". I'm not sure which ItemType would be most appropriate for online documents without DOI and produce the intended output.
I like how you gave all the necessary examples here, so I had a quick go at the style. Right click and save as: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damnation333/styles/20e2ed669083e99a813acef39d4248efe63632aa/springer-vs.csl
The style is currently set to German and that way the date comes out in the required format for you. The KfZSS style wasn't set up for that before.
Three things I need from you now:
1. The link to and the pdf with the documentation, so I can upload it and include it in the citation style for future reference.
2. It looks like there is a german and english documentation depending on the language it is written in. If you have both documenations, can you check if they differ? Depending on that we'll have to see what we do with the style.
3. Test the style and report back if it works and we can fix mistakes.
below is an inofficial link to the official Springer VS instructions that allow for APA or Chicago and allow for full or abbreviated forenames. It contains errors though and is not completely identical with the PDF version that I have received.

The style seems to work fine. I have only noticed one thing so far. I cite three reports and the order in which they are displayed is wrong (2008 after 2010a). See:
In-text citation of multiple authors produces three different instead of one instance.
Currently wrong:
(NSchI 2010a)
(NSchI 2010b)
(NSchI 2008)
Should be:
(NSchI 2008, 2010a, 2010b)
I would name the style "Springer VS Chicago (author-date, German)" to be more specific about it.
Thanks for your work!
See:
- http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/CapitalizationTitles/faq0072.html
- https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636
Example: Currently the book title is not capitalized at the beginning of the subtitle: I had some journal articles with the title in sentence case as entries in Zotero Standalone. Still, some were capitalized after the colon and the other were not. The solution was to create agreement of title and short title regarding capitalization.
I still get the wrong order of dates in the reference list:
<key macro="issued" sort="ascending"/>
have to be changed on
<key macro="year-date" sort="ascending"/>
and this key have to be add to bibliography part too. Then you get correct output.
@LiborA I played around with the code snippet but had no luck. My understanding of CSL is not sufficient for the task.
This has copied the way of the sorting from Springer-humanities. Let's see if that works: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damnation333/styles/48b676d0a038bf658e1b0eca50a707faeeb36e68/springer-vs-author-date-german.csl
This is how it looks with Springer Humanities: The year disambiguation is also not correct when (as it should be) it is based on CMoS.
Apparently, even the CMoS CSL style gets it wrong. See below: I'm puzzled. I hope you can figure something out.
I need the cavalry. Can you help?
<key macro="year-date"/>
insted of
<key variable="issued"/>
in line 159
I think it should work.
Can anyone reproduce the errors that I have found?
Sorry I can say that I am lost in all posts here. Can you exactly define errors in the output from last style from damnation?
Therefore, should come before in in-text citations and the reference list. However, as shown in the examples above, this is currently not the case. (This appears to be a problem across a number of styles.)

One "." is missing at the end of Place: Institution. As in: I can see that we are getting closer. Thanks.
There is link: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/libora/7afe75b62b562e6f2861943651fa997f/raw/343991339407c65709053dfef1874dbdde9198e0/springer-vs-author-date-german.csl
Please remember to add the "." as requested above. Thanks!
