Customizing APA 6 - spelling out author first name

amalvares

Hello, at FPCEUP - Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, Porto, we use APA 6 but with author's first name spelled out. It's the citation style of the Educação, Sociedade e Culturas (ESC) magazine, from this faculty. I've looked on the Zotero guides but could not find a way of making this change. Can you help? Thank you.

I can make that style for you. A few questions:

1. Do you have a link to the style guidelines for the magazine and/or the faculty?
2. Does the magazine/faculty only publish in Portugeuse or also in other languages?
3. Should the style use "e" or "&" in lists of author names?
4. How should author names be arranged in the in-text citations and in the bibliography? Should the first name come before or after the last name (Curie, Marie or Marie Curie)? Can you show an example?

amalvares

bwiernik, that would be great. Thank you.

1. The style guidelines are in Portuguese in the following link (section "REFERÊNCIAS BIBLIOGRÁFICAS"): https://www.fpce.up.pt/ciie/?q=publication/revista-educação-sociedade-culturas/page/instrucoes-aos-autores I can translate them if needed.

2. Mainly in Portuguese, sometimes in English.

3. "&"

4.
In-text citations: (Surname, year)
Example: (Trindade, 2010)

Bibliography - Articles: Surname, Name
Example: Bianchetti, Lucídio, & Correia, José A.

Bibliography - Book chapters: Authors of the chapter: Surname, Name + Editors: Name Surname
Example: Stoer, Stephen R., & Cortesão, Luiza (2008). Multiculturalism and educational policy in a global context (European perspectives). In Nicolas Burbules & Carlos Alberto Torres (Eds.), Globalizations and education critical perspectives (2nd ed., pp. 253-274). Nova Iorque/Londres: Routledge.

It's to use in Mendley.

bwiernik

Okay, I see you included the publisher location. APA 7th edition no longer uses publisher locations. So should I base it on APA 6th edition instead or use APA 7?

amalvares

The magazine hasn't updated the norms yet, so we must stick to 6th edition. O don't know for how long, though.

amalvares

bwiernik, did you manage to create the style? How's it called? Thank you.

bwiernik

I'm hoping to do this this afternoon.

amalvares

OK, thank you. I'll await your feedback, then.

bwiernik

Here you go: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/8a3c159dacfa8af708462eae73e6f2a434059fd9/universidade-do-porto-faculdade-de-psicologia-e-de-ciencias-da-educacao.csl

Give it a try and let me know if you need any more changes.

There are a few hard-coded phrases (they don't come up often):
[Patent]
website:
Review of
Data set
Original work published/recorded/broadcast

I set these all to use Portuguese rather than English

amalvares

bwiernick, thank you. Can you tell me how I can try it? Is there a way of importing it to Mendeley?

bwiernik

Right click on the link and save the file to your desktop. Then install the .csl file into Mendeley.

amalvares

Everything seems OK except a dot after the author's name, before the date, which shouldn't be there. Example:

Cefai, Carmel, Bartolo, Paul, Cavioni, Valeria, & Downes, Paul. (2018).

There shouldn't be a dot between "Paul" and "(2018)".

bwiernik

Okay, that's updated.

amalvares

I've copied the link above to Mendeley styles, as prompted by the programme. The dot between author's name and year is still there. Should I do something differently?

bwiernik

Oh sorry, I thought the same link would give the updated style. Here it is: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/citation-style-language/styles/d74ed2c3053f995560442c2ec17989bfbdc8ec05/universidade-do-porto-faculdade-de-psicologia-e-de-ciencias-da-educacao.csl

amalvares

It's perfect now. Thank you!

amalvares

Hello bwiernik. I've noticed a couple more things that need correction in the version you kindly made for FPCEUP; I tried do get familiar with the editor but couldn't make it... What needs to be changed is the language of "Retrieved on... from..."; it should be Portuguese: "Retirado em... de..."
Could you do this?
Thanks a lot!
Ana

amalvares

The name of the month should also appear in Portuguese.
Thank you.

bwiernik

Those are both controlled by your document settings. In the Document Preferences window in the Zotero tab in Word, choose Portuguese for the language.

amalvares

It's done. Thank you.
