Citation style for journal is incorrect

jasonlustig

I am trying to use Zotero with the "Archival Science" citation style, but it seems that it's incorrect; inline citations do not include page numbers although they should use (Author Year, p. pageNumber). How can I update the style? It seems to link to the main Springer Author-Date format (http://www.zotero.org/styles/springer-basic-author-date).

That page number is referring to the specific page number you are quoting in the text, not the full page range of the article. If you are quoting a specific page, Add a page number in the Add/Edit Citation window for it to appear: https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_usage#customizing_cites

Thanks, I was actually doing that but it appears that the “location” field wasn’t being used in this style at all, when it should have been. I ended up modifying the style code to include the page numbers as needed.

I think they understand that -- Springer author-date doesn't print locators -- I think we can probably add that to the generic style without causing much in terms of unforeseen consequences.

bwiernik

Yeah, its absence seems like more of an oversight than anything.

Great. By the way I posted my modified style at https://github.com/jalustig/citation-styles/blob/master/archival-science-basic.csl

we just merged the update globally, so that'll be available for all Zotero users within the hour (the timestamp will change on the Springer style, not the archival science one)

jasonlustig

So you're updating the main springer style?

adamsmith

we did, yes
