Oxford Referencing Style - please help!

YaYaTurre
Hello! I would like to download what I understand is simply referred to as the "Oxford Referencing Style." The Zotero Style Repository contains many discipline specific styles with Oxford in the title, but none seem to be the one that I am looking for. (This includes the one, called "New Hart's Rules: the Oxford Style Guide.)

Here is an example of the Oxford Referencing Style that I am looking for: http://guides.library.uwa.edu.au/c.php?g=325241&p=2177430

Can anyone help me? Thanks!

    We do not have that style.
    In order make a request, please follow this. Please do NOT make a new thread. You can edit your initial post.
    Especially I need the Campbell and Mares citations adapted to the style you want. Don't just copy them from the style guide.

    @YaYaTurre
    Any progress with this request?
  • YaYaTurre
    Due to a lack of detailed information from my academic department on how citations should be written in the so-called Oxford Referencing Style, I decided not to pursue this request. There are inconsistencies between what my institution wants and what I find online with respect to this style. Perhaps I could one day ask for help in creating the type of referencing system specific to my institution but that will need to wait for another day. Thanks for your help and your inquiry!

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Would this help? My daughter also needs to use it for her IB studies in the UK https://guides.library.uwa.edu.au/Oxford

    Yes, exactly.
    As mentioned above we'll still need the examples adapted for the footnote and bibliography as explained in the "Requesting Styles" guide.
    We use them to easily identify a suitable template style to adapt, instead of writing a new one.

    We did the CSL search using an example:
    and got an 90% match on http://www.zotero.org/styles/university-of-new-england-australia-note for the intext citation
    and 52% for the bibliography

    And for University of York - Modern Humanities Research Association 3rd edition there was a 53% on inline and 80% match on bibliography

    I hate schools that use obscure citation styles with 16 year olds ...
  • damnation
    Thank you, but we'll still need the examples. There might be other matches better suited to base the style on.
  • Deschatjes
    appreciate your help on this...

    Would your daughter be interested in learning to code CSL? (An earnest suggestion -- by way of learning to fish etc.)
  • Deschatjes
    She's doing her IB at the moment so doesn't have the bandwidth to learn to code CSL - it looks a lot like HTML right?

    The examples are in the libguide link above - there are countless examples of various source types etc.
  • damnation
    Please have a look at the requesting styles guidelines. We need the exact Campbell and Pedersen and the Mares example, adapted to the style guide. Not some random ones. ;)
  • Deschatjes
    Ok I used the Campbell and Pedersen and Mares example but how do I save them? Or where do I save them?
  • damnation
    Just paste them here.
    As an example how somebody did it correctly: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/76743/style-request-the-cancer-journal#latest

    Hopefully this helps, using UNSW/AWC and their Oxford referencing guide.

    The University of New South Wales - Oxford style is close to the above but there are some formatting errors that I can't get my head around to resolve.

    Hello Admins,
    Please find detailed examples of Oxford referencing style here:


    Citation :https://www.umu.se/en/library/search-write-study/writing-references/oxford-references-in-text/

  • adamsmith
    @shaimaraee that just illustrates how problematic these labels for citation styles are: What they call "Oxford" is just Chicago Manual of Style (which is available already)
  • shaimaraee
    Hello Adam,
    Thanks for your response. It's not.

    I have tried three types of Chicago Manual of Style, that are (Author- date)/ (Full note)/ (Note). None of them were the same.

    Any recommendations?
  • adamsmith
    The bibliography/references is basically Chicago Manual note or full note (16th edition I think, though oddly with sentence case?).
    For notes, they only provide one example, so hard to say what they actually want there beyond single authored books.
    They are also quite different from what's called Oxford style above.
