APA-style 7 with full names

FrancescoCaviglia

I have uploaded a cls file here
https://gist.github.com/franzau/8521bdabdd9e9b4d959255d6e8ac6bca

A typical quote now looks like this:
Bull, Anna Cento, & Hansen, Hans Lauge. (2016). On agonistic memory. Memory Studies, 9(4), 390–404. https://doi.org/10.1177/1750698015615935

which is almost everything I needed, thanks!

Is there a way to remove the dot before the publication year?
And... can we enforce always publishing the DOI address, even if an article has precise page number? I now this is an option in Zotero's UI, but I'd prefer not to leave the choice.

Thank you in advance for your help!

There was no need to open up a whole new thread! Especially since you have the same questions (dot before year etc.)...

To remove that dot between authors and year you need to put those two macros in a new group.
Replace lines 1697-1710 with:

<else>
<group delimiter=" ">
<group delimiter=". " suffix=".">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text macro="author-bib"/>
<text macro="date-bib"/>
</group>
<text macro="title-and-descriptions"/>
<text macro="container"/>
<text macro="event"/>
<text macro="publisher"/>
</group>
<text macro="access"/>
<text macro="publication-history"/>
</group>
</else>


Re your DOI question:
Your style already produces a DOI, even if it has a page number.
Look at the "access" macro which is always called:

<macro name="access">
<choose>
<if variable="DOI" match="any">
<text variable="DOI" prefix="https://doi.org/"/>;
</if>
<else-if variable="URL">
<group delimiter=" ">
<choose>
<if variable="issued status" match="none">
<group delimiter=" ">
<text term="retrieved" text-case="capitalize-first"/>
<date variable="accessed" form="text" suffix=","/>
<text term="from"/>
</group>
</if>
</choose>
<text variable="URL"/>
</group>
</else-if>
</choose>
</macro>

To translate this: If it has the DOI, print the DOI. Otherwise if it has the URL, print out the URL with accessed date.

Test output:
Campbell, John L., & Pedersen, Ove K. (2007). The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comparative Political Studies, 40(3), 307–332. https://doi.org/10.1177/0010414006286542

There is either something else going on or you want to achieve something else.

Thanks a lot, @damnation !
And I apologize for posting out of the original thread.

Your CLS has handled beautifully everything I have thrown at it.

We'll use the style locally for now and hear what colleagues and librarians say.
But we have now exacly what we needed: full names, links, no publication place.

Can an "APA 7 with full names" be of any use for others?

Thanks!
