APA Style with Notes

hjjoseph

Hi all,

I've been trying to find what my work team needs in zotero downloadable styles. We use APA format, but with endnotes, rather than parentheticals. I can't seem to find a style that allows APA standard citation format but gives us the superscript identification numbers.

Anyone have any leads on this? We would be eternally grateful.

Thank you!

This ones is pretty close if I understand correctly: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=id:springer-socpsych-brackets

Also here is a numeric version of APA that I use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bwiernik/zotero-tools/master/apa-numeric.csl

Thanks so much for your answers! Unfortunantly, we need to use superscript citation numbers, rather than those in brackets. Is there a way to modify this?

@bwiernik I'm not sure how to use this coding, as I'm a novice at this. Would I save this coding to my computer and then upload to Zotero?

if you right-click on the link bwiernik posted and click save as, save it to your desktop (or anywhere else on your harddisk) and then double-click it, it will install in Zotero.

Bwiernik's style has superscripts in square brackets. If you don't want that, before installing it, open it with a text editor like Notepad and change this line
<layout prefix="[" suffix="]" delimiter="," vertical-align="sup">

to
<layout delimiter="," vertical-align="sup">

Really appreciate your help. I have made the changes you suggested, now I can't figure out how to get my TextEdit file to upload to Zotero. How do I convert it to a .csl file? Or should it be taking it in RTF?

adamsmith

it needs to be a plain text file with a .csl extension, not sure how exactly do to that in TextEdit, I'm afraid

damnation

workaround if you don't manage:
1. go here:http://editor.citationstyles.org/codeEditor/
2. paste your code in the bottom part
3. switch to the visual editor (on top)
4. save the csl file there from the menu.

That worked!! YAY

One more thing. The numbers in the bibliography are still showing up in brackets. How would I remove these from the code?

Thanks for all your help.

<text variable="citation-number" prefix="[" suffix="] "/>
-->
<text variable="citation-number" suffix="."/>

will get you 1. Smith, A. (1776) etc.

My numbers are still showing up in brackets, but I will redo the process tomorrow in case I messed something up. Is there a way to get the numbers superscripted in that bibliography list, too?
