Chicago Style and articles/chapters

Hello!

I'm using Chicago Style, full-note, 17th ed for a paper I'm trying to get published, and the editor has noticed that in my footnotes, Zotero is giving the titles of articles or chapters in single, not double quotation marks (', not ") and it's putting the comma after the closing quotation mark, which is of course not standard Chicago Style.

Is this something I can change in Zotero rather than manually? And is it just happening for me, or is it a problem for others too?
  • In Word, open the Document Preferences window in the Zotero tab. Then change the Language to English (US) instead of English (UK).
  • It worked! Thanks so much!

    I'm curious to know why it worked. Why would setting the language to UK English make weird things happen with the quotation marks? Does Zotero never work properly with UK English, or is it only Chicago Style that has the issue?

    Anyway thanks again for the fix!
  • UK English language conventions use single quotation marks. Zotero “works” by following the typesetting questions of the specified locale.
