Double parallel bibliographies

cmiltiadis

I don't know if this issue is applicable to other fields, but in Game Studies (theory of video gameS) one would compile a bibliography of cited works and a ludography of cited video games.
Is it possible to have 2 parallel bibliographies with Zotero?

see for example the bottom of this journal article: http://gamestudies.org/1701/articles/oldenburg

-in the meantime I am filing the video games I want to cite as Computer Programs, until Zotero would allow custom/video game entries.

No, sorry. It's generally possible to sort bibliographies by item type, which would pretty much let you do this, but unfortunately computer programs aren't mapped to a specific type in citation styles -- that's hopefully not too far away, but not super close.

Though it’s possible with Zotero currently to approximate separating out Computer Programs by using <if type=“book” variable=“version” match=“all”>. (This of course requires all of your video game items to have a version variable.)

Aha thanks!
and where do I enter this code?

Okay, in the style .csl file, add the following macro code:


<macro name="sort-type">
<choose>
<if type="book" variable="version" match="all">
<text value="1"/>
</if>
<else>
<text value="2"/>
</else>
</choose>
</macro>

Then, find the <bibliography> section at the bottom and add the following line to the start of the <sort> subsection:
<key macro="sort-type"/>.

This will sort your bibliography so that computer programs appear first and other items appear second (change the text values above to reverse the order). When you are done editing, you can Unlink the Zotero citations and add appropriate headings for each section as a final step.
