Request for new style: MDPI Social Sciences

astonebeth
Hi, I tried using the "Social Sciences" citation style and it appears to be out of date. would it be possible to fix this style? Details of their "MDPI Chicago Style" can be found here: http://www.mdpi.com/authors/references

    Do we know for which other journals the "Chicago" style is used?

    In their style guide they say it's for the MDPI Humanities and Social Sciences journals, it's not clear that any other journal uses this particular style. Here's a link to their style guide PDF: http://img.mdpi.org/data/mdpi_references_chicago_guide_v3.pdf

    The main issues with the chicago style (author-date) I was already using is they want pagination in the in-text author-date citations, and "accessed on" info for all the websites I cite.

    is there a way to set those preferences for the chicago style (author-date) I was already using?

    no, not as preferences, one would have to edit the style. Also seems like they don't use quotation marks for articles, which is a bit weird for a "Chicago" style.
