APA: p. and pp. instead of pag. and "et al." in bold

Liuk2188

Goodmorning,

how can I modify the style to have p. (for singular page) and pp. (for multiple pages) instead of "pag." and how can I put "et al." in bold?

Thank you very much

damnation

Which exact style are you using and what language are you using it in?

Liuk2188

The language is English and the "Americal Psychological Association 6th edition"

damnation

Which p/pp. are you talking about (what item type; in-text or in the bibliography?)

here is a sample citation the way it looks in the bibliography of apa.csl:


Mares, I. (2001). Firms and the welfare state: When, why, and how does social policy matter to employers? In P. A. Hall & D. Soskice (Eds.), Varieties of capitalism. The institutional foundations of comparative advantage (pp. 184–213). New York: Oxford University Press.

I have this result.
Carson, J. B., Tesluk, P. E., & Marrone, J. A. (2007). Shared leadership in teams: an investigation of antecedent conditions and performance. Academy of Management Journal, 50(5), 1217–1234. https://doi.org/10.2307/20159921

I'd need your result in bibliography but especially in in-test.

damnation

Test for you with APA 6th:

(Campbell & Pedersen, 2007, pp. 244–252)

Campbell, J. L., & Pedersen, O. K. (2007). The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comparative Political Studies, 40(3), 307–332. https://doi.org/10.11770010414006286542

It already shows it correctly for the in-text part.
Can you check how the data is entered in your Zotero? The page field should only have the number. Not "pag.". It's not the style that is wrong here.. (You can also test it out in a fresh document).

To get the p/pp. in the bibliography, change the locators macro to this:

<macro name="locators">
<choose>
<if type="article-journal article-magazine" match="any">
<group prefix=", " delimiter=", ">
<group>
<text variable="volume" font-style="italic"/>
<text variable="issue" prefix="(" suffix=")"/>
</group>
<group delimiter=" ">
<label variable="page" form="short"/>
<text variable="page"/>
</group>
</group>
<choose>
<if variable="issued">
<choose>
<if variable="page issue" match="none">
<text variable="status" prefix=". "/>
</if>
</choose>
</if>
</choose>
</if>
<else-if type="article-newspaper">
<group delimiter=" " prefix=", ">
<label variable="page" form="short"/>
<text variable="page"/>
</group>
</else-if>
<else-if type="book graphic motion_picture report song chapter paper-conference entry-encyclopedia entry-dictionary" match="any">
<group prefix=" (" suffix=")" delimiter=", ">
<choose>
<if type="report" match="none">

<if variable="volume" match="any">

<number variable="volume" form="numeric"/>
</group>
</if>
<else>
<group>
<text term="volume" form="short" plural="true" text-case="capitalize-first" suffix=" "/>
<number variable="number-of-volumes" form="numeric" prefix="1–"/>
</group>
</else>
</choose>
<group>
<label variable="page" form="short" suffix=" "/>
<text variable="page"/>
</group>
</group>
</else-if>
<else-if type="legal_case">
<group prefix=" (" suffix=")" delimiter=" ">
<text variable="authority"/>
<choose>
<if variable="container-title" match="any">
<date variable="issued" form="numeric" date-parts="year"/>
</if>
<else>
<date variable="issued" form="text"/>
</else>
</choose>
</group>
</else-if>
<else-if type="bill legislation" match="any">
<date variable="issued" prefix=" (" suffix=")">
<date-part name="year"/>
</date>
</else-if>
</choose>
</macro>

Could you send me all the text with your preferences?

The in-text isn't ok and I can see it in the preview in Zotero.

Then I'll test.

Thanks

adamsmith

Sorry, I'm still not quite clear what you're asking. Could you post sample citations exactly as you need them here? Is there a guide you're following that you could link to?

Liuk2188

I haven't change the test in "macro" area yet. I have the "original" APA, but I'd need only to change with "et al." in bold and p/pp. instead of pag.

(Kozlowski, Chao, Grand, Braun, & Kuljanin, 2013, pag. 13) and (Kozlowski et al., 2013)

Ps. I can't put all the code here

adamsmith

sorry, still confused -- are the above citations the way you would like them or the way they are currently showing?

Liuk2188

Yes, Using standard APA this is the citation.

I would like (it's only an example):

Caillier, 2017, pp. 12-13

Caillier, 2017, p.12

Caillier et al., 2017

adamsmith

As damnation says, the style should already do the p/pp correctly. Are you using the Zotero Word add-on or how are you generating these citations? How are you entering the page numbers? And in what language is your Zotero?

The et al. in bold is a bit trickier, let's do this second

Liuk2188

For p./pp. shall I use the procedure of Damnation? I didn't do the modification.

It's in italian.

I use add-on in Word 2016 and I use the "old" procedure to put the page number.

adamsmith

No, you don't need to follow damnation's advice, the p/pp. will be correct in the citation style when it's set to be in English-- I suspect you just don't have it set to English in the right place. You need to click "Document Preferences" in the Word add-on and select "English" there.

Liuk2188

Goodmorning. Thank you, for P. in the English version is ok. For bold of "et al." it doesn't work.

bwiernik

Yes, that does require a change to the style code. Download the apa.csl from here:

Open it in a text editor (e.g., Notepad, Atom, SublimeText, TextEdit) and go to line 139 (the </substitute> line in the author-short macro). Add this line after </substitute>:

<et-al font-style="bold" prefix=" "/>

Then, change the style IDs and title in lines 4-6 of the style, save, and add the style to Zotero.
